Looking for a mid priced redbook player, to go with my GS-1!
I am downgrading a bit, and I have settled on the GS-1 as my only home amp. I love it, but the bass is a little thinner than my Slam was. I am thinking of getting the NAD C542 as a redbook source. Do you think this player will have good enough bass slam to match with my GS-1? Or can you...- cheechoz

SA5000
Congrats on one of the best sets of cans, at any price point! Take your time with them, let them burn in generously, and experiment with different source/amp combos. When you get it just right, they are very hard to beat!!- cheechoz

Which tubes--Singlepower Slam & Grado?
The Sylvania 5687's are warm tubes. I find that for a warmer grado like the RS-1, I like using either the Tung Sol D-Getter, or the Ray Theon 5687's! For gain, I use the Hytron CBS 6sn7, or the Ken-Rad VT-231 (If I want a more fuller bass).- cheechoz

hd650 - does it need an amp?
Anything that drives the HD650's is an amp! getting the best out of them is another thing! I would definitely get the best amp you can for them, as they require good clean power to shine!- cheechoz

a900 vs dt990
No contest here! The DT990 wins out, with tighter more controlled bass, and just an overall better sound, IMHO!- cheechoz

What to try next?
I would say to try a Sony SA5000! It is one of my favorite cans, and it blends in perfectly with my K701, and 325i!- cheechoz
