Good Headphone Amp, Do I really have to spend over $400?
Why not the Corda? It's a super great amp and it's not dark so it matches up with the dark HD600s quite nicely IMO..... It sounds lovely, especially with a nice Clou cable.....- sordidman

Corda & Crossfeed
Hi, Got my Clou red last night and it really opened up the system. Thanks a lot Dark Angel. This cable is a BIG, HUGE improvement over the stock cable. There is now a lot more detail and extension to the music, - overall much less bassy sounding and more musical. Dark Angel, do you...- sordidman

Review Corda Headamp w/HD600s
Hi, Thanks again for all of the headphone suggestions and cable suggestions. Anyone compare the Clou Blue with the Clou Red? Is the red substantially better, - more revealing- high end, - than the blue?? Thanks,- sordidman

Review Corda Headamp w/HD600s
Hi Dark Angel, Wow, thanks a lot for your tips. I really appreciate it. I am a big Sennheiser fan and, - if at all possible, - would like to stick with their products. But the sound is the important thing. I don't see too many reviews/postings about the HD590s. But, your advice on the Clou...- sordidman

Review Corda Headamp w/HD600s
REVIEW: Corda Headamp & Sennheiser HD600 PREFACE, WHO I AM and WHAT ARE MY GOALS: I add this as I believe that before I get started, - I should point out that I believe that there is no objective right and wrong with reviewing equipment. Since music and music making equipment is an art form...- sordidman

Vibrapods Review
Hi, Good points for sure. That sounds right, - speaker dampening is probably much different than CD player dampening. Comparitively, - SSC pucks are more expensive than Vibrapods for sure. Maybe I should give the Vibrapods another try underneath the CD player. It's interesting that you... -
Vibrapods Review
Hi, IMHO, Vibrapods are not very good. They are very cheap but they dull out the sound and limit extension everywhere!!!! I have used them extensively and never found them to be a benefit to any equipment. My suggestion is to get SSC pucks for speaker isolation, - they also make a great... -
HD600 "dark"?
Thanks Slindeman, That sounds like good news on the "neutrality" of the Corda/HD600 combo. We'll see what happens when I get it going. I guess my main worry is not on the "neutrality" of the Headphone system, but it's comparison to the "neutrality" of the main system. What I'll do is check...- sordidman

HD600 "dark"?
Hi, Thanks a lot for your reply. Right, - I could also say "full-range." What I mean is that my speakers may not be so "full-range," and I'm concerned that the HD600 Corda system will sound too disparate from amp/speakers combo. Perhaps a better choice would be HD590 and the Corda. I...- sordidman

HD600 "dark"?
You guys are really starting to scare me with this HD600 analysis. I am worried now that I bought too dark a headphone. (In relation to the fact that I probably have what you all would call an overly bright amp/speakers combo). I guess I should just chill and wait until I get the Corda and see...- sordidman

HD600 "dark"?
Hi, This is a very interesting thread to me. I was curious what you all thought about the HD590s compared to the HD600? Their reputation is that they're "brighter" than the HD600. I am listening to my HD600s through a lousy integrated, - Onkyo. My Corda is on order..... My goal is to not...- sordidman
