Noo..this is the first time..

Anyone can recommend a vintage amp/receiver that can match well with high impedance cans e.g. HD650? My Kenwood KA5500 doesn't seem to synergise well with the 650s but great with low impedance cans.

What kind of sound are you after? Yamahas are known for very clean uncoloured sound (some people call them boring) while something like Marantz have a tube like sound (some people say musical)

 

[Rossliew]

Merkil, I'm looking for a full bodied sound with strong bass. I also like the tube sound. Having listened with the HD555, the sound is more fuller with heavier bass presence. But the HD650 sounded thinner in comparison. Just wondering if these vintages don't output sufficient voltage swing?

Sansui or Marantz would be my guess.  You don't know any vintage owners or shops where you could try out different models before you buy?

 

[Rossliew]

Not really, it's quite rare in these parts and good models often sold before we get to try em. Speaking of Sansui, how's the au-999? Or would the au-317 be better?
