I'm still trying to get acquainted with my new HD650's. Was hesitant to get 'em dolled-up. Maybe I should leave them sit out and become Toxic.

mmm... blank/black avatar, not a good sign. Toxic's great, but you got quite a wait..

 

My love for the 650's didn't really unfold until I tried them with a hybrid amp. They benefit from SS speed and tube soundstage. This affected them much more than any cable I tried.

Not blink.gifa good sign? Waiting in the dark can be fantastique! Like, when I meditate for example...

 

Good to see his business increase. By the time I save up, he should be ready for me.

Haaa.. Thats ok then. Nice to see someone else who meditates round here :)  Empty your mind for half n hour then put your 650's back on. They'll sound effing marvelous!  

 

Yeah, Toxic is enjoying a well derserved flurrish of orders. He's the man.

Current setup. It´s a mess p.t. while assessing the permutations, including the "keepers" and "leavers".

Blo0dy hell. biggrin.gif

 

I'm guessing your gonna keep that litttle one on top for your hifimans, the Violectric will stay for your LCD's. Possibly the Burson for your Fostex.

 

The rest of the Schitt will have to go :D

 

I'll take the Nad off your hands.

@ devhen: It is indeed a PSii (using Siemens 1974tube). Input Caps are active (I know - they should have been bypassed, but I am a safety freak - like to have a buffer from DC spikes). The PSii must be one of the most understated amps ever. 

 

@ LugBug1: Your are 50% right. :) HiFiMAN HE-6 is the first item to be a "leaver" - after using 5 speaker amps and quite some headphone amps to make it shine. The HE-6 didn´t suit my taste. Tried it for 1 year+ but had to leave.

Is the Fostex new?

 

50% right..mmm.. Ok then, the Schitt will be going because I know you've had that a while, and we all know newer stuff is better right? Violectric staying, Nad staying, Fostex staying. Burson going.

I get the impression that you think I buy & sell all the time. I actually not selling. Well; the HE-6 had to leave the house. 

 

The Fostex is 4 weeks "old".

The HE-6 was a rough ride for over a year. Glad to have transformed them to cash.
