    Why do ( some ) people call HD600/HD650 boring cans ?

    maybe they are being used with the crappy stock cables, an insufficient amp or not enough time was allowed for burn in for the aftermarket cable or the drivers.  these cans need about 1,000 hours of burn-in, imo.  i do not find my 650 with silver dragon cable or my 600 with equinox cable boring...

    Blue Dragon (HD600s): Whoa!

    i don't know about the blue dragon or an hd-600, i can tell you that the silver dragon on the hd-650 is a killer upgrade in every rig i use it with. silver mates well with the hd-650 characteristics, imo. i find the hd-650 needs 500 hours of high intensity burn in to settle & the silver dragon...

    HD800 prefers tubes or solid state?

    i have one ss amp in the house & never liked it with any one my of my cans but the hd-800 synergy with it beats out all of my tube amps. what works for my hd-650 does not work for my hd-800. it depends on the amp. it could be ss or it could be tube. you never know.

    Stax SR-404 Limited. Which amp?

    My SR-404 Limited arrived yesterday morning. The silver in the cable will take some time to completely settle down. It was quite harsh, bright & unbearable to listen to for most of the 1st 2 days but is settling down nicely. The SR-404 Limited is more detailed than my Lambda Pro & is a pleasure...

    i am not familiar with the rega ear so i can not comment if it has the juice or not for a senn 600. if it does, i would 1st try silver interconnects. this has solved problems for me with hd-650's in a big way with certain amps. this may help if the sound of the senns are overly veiled with...
