How does HD650 sound with the SENNHEISER HD650 balanced cable out of it?

Has anyone with Jot also heard Corda Jazz FF? I'm thinking either for HD650/XX. I read Jot is Great with HD650, but I also read some saying Corda Jazz FF is as if made for HD650. So far I gathered is that Jot's balanced out is especially good for HD650. For Jazz FF, it has some special audio...

  you dont like hd650. nobody cares about that.   how can you then make advise for amps for hd650 for people who likes their hd650 and want a suitable amp. this is where its just non sense.

Teaks are also a good counter point to the HD650. TH-X00 will give you the sub bass and sparkle that is missing from the HD650, plus they leak less sound which can be a plus.

If you read his post carefully his HD650 may be a bad one.

Has anyone tried the Sennheiser HD650 with both the Schiit Ragnarok and Schiit Jotunheim? If so, what are the sonic differences, and which has the best synergy with the HD650? Which opens up the top-end the most? Thanks!

The HD650.

Thanks for the reply! I picked up a couple balanced cables for my HD600/HD650/HD660S, and one for my HD700. I really like the improvement to the sound of all the HD's when using the balanced cables with the Jot.

I highly recommend re-terminating the stock hd650 cable to 4 pin xlr for the Jotunheim if you want to try a balanced cable. IMO the forza, cardas, and other cables that cost $100+ aren't worth the money if you purely want better sound, as the stock hd650 cable is really good. Personally I have...

My Yggy and Jot shipped today! I'll be sure to report back on how they sound with my balanced HD650.

Jot brought my HD650 to life compared to LC.

Any HD650 & O2 ODAC RevB owners' upgrade experiences with Joti? :)

  Short version - buy it.   Long version - buy it now.   In all seriousness, it's the my favourite pairing so far and I've got plenty of headphones (more expensive than the 650s) to choose from.

  I think you're alone there, probably. Personally I don't find the Jotunheim makes the HD650 sound analytical at all, in fact it does not influence the character of the 650s in the slightest which is what people love about it - plenty of other people I personally know as well as judging by the...

HD650 or HD600 with Jotunheim? Which do you prefer and why?

  Just a quick question to you, are you talking about the Jotunheim-hd650 pairing when you put it on the Balanced mode or does the SE also "bulldoze through that" as well?

Great news, loving all of the impressions with Senn HD650. Was on the fence of Joti vs Valhalla 2 to use exclusively with HD650, previously leaning towards V2 as the HD650s tend to respond well to tubes, but now I'm leaning back towards getting the Joti to use with my Modi 2 Uber (next: upgrade...

...by balancing them. However, since I'm really happy with the 650 for now, I am going to continue to save for gumby or Yggy next. As cool as HD650/mimby/Jot is, I wonder what HD650/Gumby/Jot, or HD650/Yggy/Jot would sound like? I also wonder what the 800 S would sound like as a compliment to...

  The HD650 has always been killer- but it has always required ludicrously good amplification to sound that way. Usually, that would involve amps many times the price of the HD650. What's different with the Jotenheim is that it's a relatively affordable mass market (ish) amp that can do the...

...case between tube and SS amp. Jotunheim is faster and offer more clarity though.   I am not sure if I like what Jotunheim has done to my HD650, it makes my HD650 sounds neutral and slightly analytical. To put things into perspective, Darkvoice with HD800S sounds more euphonic whereas  HD650...

I have the Jot as well as the Elear, HD650, and Th-x00.  They all sound wonderful on the Jot. The HD650 really benefits from the power available from the balanced output.  The Fostex and Elear are more subtle improvements.

For DT770 80ohm and HD650, should I go with the Jot or NFB-11?

Hd650? Fatiguing? By my ears, It's one of the most euphonic, almost suffocatingly syrupy headphones ever made.

IMO the Jotunheim "Elear-izes" the HD650 soundstage. I don't mind it. It's just different.

hmmm, I wonder. Should I got with a mimby + Magni or the Jot for my HD650....
