Really? Hmm. Which do you prefer?

I prefer both. Just depends on my mood and what I want to listen to. I own them both for a reason. wink.gif

 

They are both wonderful hp's. All depends on what you're after.

Could you explain The differences to me? Im contemplating selling my 600s because I don't really see how they are in any way better than the MDs.

hd650=has a slightly darker signature similar to the MD. Bass goes about as low as the MD but doesn't quite have the same visceral impact. Great treble and wonderful mids.

 

 

MD=wonderfully balanced, stellar near lcd2 mids, warmth on the bottom with dog pads, very natural sound and addictive, great isolation BUT...not as easy to amp

 

Hope this helps...

Do you use EQ at all with the mad dogs?

Well I guess technically speaking my pioneer djm-600 mixer is EQing them, but that's really used more for mixing than EQing my headphones. Other than that no I'm not using an EQ.

Matt,

What amp are you using with the md's?

^^ For the desktop I'm using the lyr with some nice tubes and it's an incredible pairing. The MD seems to just love the tubes on the lyr. For the bedroom it's an e07k/ipod/lod. This is really the minimum that I found can run the MD and still get enjoyable dynamics and volume. The hardware EQ is helpful here also.

Matt, do you think MD or LCD-2 or 650's sound good with the Lyr. tongue.gif

Oh wait a minute. I get it now. You're poking fun at me because I like the lyr with these hp's. I suppose that I deserve it. redface.gif

I use mine with the ODAC+O2 from JDS Labs. No complaints...it works about as well as you'd expect it to.
