Hi, Please how can I move this thread to the “introduction, help and recommendations” section? I apologize but I think I posted to the wrong section. thank you all!

Hi head-fiers, I own a pair of Hifiman Sundara hps, and I'm out for a cheap and decent amp to drive them. I live in Europe and my budget is around 100-120€. I'd like to try something different from schiit, and the jds atom (my first ideal choice) is not easy to find used in Europe with my...

Hi head-fiers. Please is anybody using the 650s balanced, with the entry level sennheiser XLR cable, with a Schiit Mjolnir 2? Are you using low gain or high gain setting? Which setting do you prefer? I'm experimenting a bit with the low gain setting. My first impression is that the mids are a...

No, it is not a cheap silver cable at all, at least considering its price point :smile_phones: Thank you all for your contributions. From what I've read it seems the hd650s are not so sensitive to cable changes. I think I'll keep listening them with the balanced cable they came with, at least...

Thanks guys. I've just moved from the beyer dt880 600ohms to the 650s. Luckily the previous owner provided me with a balanced cable. For the sake of clearness, its a standard Sennheiser cable, with the original jack replaced by a neutrik 4pin xlr plug. I think I prefer the 650's "fuller" (but...

Hi head-fiers, Please do you think it will be worth to upgrade a stock Sennheiser balanced cable to a litz pure silver one? Which benefits should the litz bring soundwise? I'm pairing my balanced HD650s with a schiit mjolnir 2 amp. Thanks

Hi head-fiers! I recently upgraded from my beyerdynamic DT880 600ohms to a MINT pair of HD650s. From the early auditions I'd define the 650s as "full bodied", while the 880s are just a bit "thin" and "bright". I wouldn't refer to the 650s as "veiled", at least while going balanced. Still no...

Hi guys,   I'm out for a budget-friendly desktop amp for my beyers DT880 600ohms. Let's say my budget is around 300€ for the amp. I'm absolutely OK with buying used.   I have found these used amps in budget - a Matrix M-Stage HPA 3U - a Lake People G109A - a DarkVoice HPA336i Unluckily...

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys think about the schiit lyr 2 for the beyerdynamics? Could it be a decent match if found used for less than 250€? Thanks :)

You're absolutely right. Forgive me, I din't mention I've found one 2 months old for less than 400€. I know the amp alone exceeds my initial budget, but I was wondering whether it could be worth stretching the budget a bit.   Probably it's not, and I'd better look for a used valhalla or other...

Hi guys,   what do you think about the Alo Audio Continental v5 paired with both the DT880/600 and the VE Monk Plus? Could these pairings work?   Thank you :)

I've just found an used pair of DT880 600 ohm, going that route. I'll look for a decently priced OTL for them, or for some used Lake People amp, as they appear to match well with the beyers.   Reading here and elsewere, I've also ordered a pair of VE Monk plus, as they're cheap and they're...

Thank you. Quickly reading some reviews undoubtfully made me discover something new, but I'm still leaning towards the dt880 ta the moment, because they appear to have a different sound signature I'm a bit more curious to try. Thank you so much :)

Thank you all for the replies and suggestions. Another option on the "Beyer" side: I could probably find a decently priced used DT880 edition 600ohm. I could couple them with an "upgraded" little dot mk II (with ALPS pot, better signal path rewiring and some spare tubes to roll). Or...
