Probably not. You'll want a desktop amp for the HD600, since it is a very power-hungry headphone.
 

I believe Boomana has a guide for newbies, which states a rule of thumb regarding amplification: desktops > portables, as proven by continued existence of desktop amps (i.e. if portables were that good, one would expect desktop amps to be wiped out of existence).
 
WoahReQQuiem: I have a friend who runs her 650/600 (can't remember which model she has) unamped. You could probably do the same and save up for a decent, entry-level amp. Maybe the Fiio E9?

Not really an appreciation-related response, but..

Do these power the HD600's fine? I am really on a tight budget for an amp.

 
I have the 580s and I can say that you will need to turn up both your source and the PA2V2 to get it to a good SL. You might want to look elsewhere. I was running my 580sw out of a Sansa View which usually has plenty of juice.

Mike at Headfonia just posted a review of you know who on his blog.  I had a feeling he would review 'em, and from the looks of the article we may have a another appreciation member!

The PA2v2 is not meant for bigger headphones such as the HD600. Such a shame that a headphone amplifier can't power full-size headphones...

Oh, you!

Interesting, it looks like Gary's added some graphics to the PA2V2.

Less than a thousand amps ago, PA2V2 starting coming with a new casing, both printed and with better EMI protection.

Huh, how about that? I'm 7795 and he's at 8800 as of 06/08/2011

Well, we don't have the new casing, but we do have the independent channel gain screws that starting coming as standard since #5000 onwards, so I feel we already have one quite important feature

Im looking for a bassboost to my AKG k240. would I be better off with a pa2v2 or a JDS bassboost cmoy?

 

[Digital-Pride]

Hmm, if all you need is a bass boost, then the JDS Cmoy might be a better option for ya.  Though the PA2v2 does boast a rather nice bass response.

 

[rofbEn]

what would be better with a 555?

the JDS Labs cMoy or the PA2V2?

 

[apatN]

I would not get any of the amps you mentioned. The HD555 doesn't really need amping anyway.

Checkout Mike's review/comparison of the JDS Cmoy and PA2v2 at Headfonia.  You'll get a fair and objective assessment of both.

his review was a little unclear. I listen to mainly dance music, and he described the pa as "faster, and better suited to rock music" while the JDS was "warmer". How does that apply to EDM?
