I must be wierd, but I've certainly never had tinittus with these phones. I love them, they are perfect.

Yes, this has got to be the bassiest thread on head-fi. They are probably looking at us like we are crazed freaks, what with are unnatural frequency response graphs and all.

Yeah, I was thinking about that earlier. Therefore, I added the Team BASShead thing to my signature, might as well be proud of it I guess.

Hurry up and order some cans! I wanna hear your review of them.

Still waiting on a response from Jon...

Just so you guys know, I ordered my pair of non-pro DT-770's from Meier-Audio this morning...

And now I am looking for a PPA Amp. lol. I think I am going to have LaRocco build it, with their new Diamond Buffer setup, but do you guys have any recommendations on OPAMPS to use with the PPA?

I currently have the AD8620/8610 setup in my PIMETA, but I wonder if there is anything out there with "better, fuller, warmer" Sound? I had one guy recommend the BurrBrown OPA627, but I have to admit, the AD8620 sounds pretty sweet to me...

Thanks again guys, for all your help!

BB opa627-637 are good - but try these first the LT1122 and AD8065.

Hey guys, Jan just e-mailed me and said he was out of the DT-770 Non-Pros.

So I may go with the 80ohm instead, not sure yet.

Anyways, someone mentioned that a Tube AMP would be better than the PPA on these phones.

What do you guys think about this tube amp:

For use on the DT-770s

I would avoid a tube amp if you're looking for bass. Much rather go with a PPA with the D-buffers. BTW I'm shocked that you have such a strange bass response on your headphones. I use the SR-325s powered out of the speaker outputs of an integrated amp and the bass sounds absolutely perfect. Its not boomy, but very crisp and punchy. Maybe your amplification is the problem. Being that the SR-325s need more of an amp than SR-60s, I'd reccomend the Grado RA-1 as a great combination with this. The alternative is to get an amp-adaptor cable and power your headphones right out of the speaker output of your Luxman amp.

 

[hybridamp]

D-Buffers, You mean the Diamond (Triad) Buffer setup?

And dont worry, I am keeping my Sr-325s, over the short time from when I started this thread, I have grown to appreciate them as well, but massive Bass > SR-325

 

[kartik]

Yup.
D = Diamond.
Haven't tried the PPA myself except for a short spin but it sounded really nice with the SR-325s. Can't speak for Beyers.

 

[harkamus]

Tube amps have a characteristic warm sound. I'd avoid those for a DT 770.

I prefer the 8620/10 combination on my PPA. There are a few DIY ppl. I have a recommendation, but just PM me if you'd like to know who it is.

Maybe a Marantz integrated amp or receiver?
