These arrived today morning and like an eager child, i got into using them straight away. Initial impressions - the bass is perfect (to my ears better than the HD650's by a fair reckoning), treble and midrange is all there, nothing intrudes nothing stands out, everything is beautifully...

Hi guys, I was fooling around with the idea of driving the K1000 balanced with the dac1's xlr outs while I am still waiting for the SAC amp. I just gave it try, while the volume needs pushing on classical/soundtracks with really low notes, it does a plenty satisfactory job with other music I...

Just an observation but more and more, I am finding that people are forgetting the trio which defined 20th century conducting, what might the reasons be, I don't know but these guys are still the finest conductors in my book. There have been interpretations of various composers by other...

Hi guys, for those of us crazy about violin music and gr8 playing, I would like to know which 24 caprices recording is your favorite and why. I have heard Perlman, Midori, Kaler and Rabin. Of the 4 I find the Rabin probably the most fiery one, perlman is virtuoso playing, Midori oh so delicate...

In my case a tie between Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn and Brahms. Each for a different reason. No violin concerto I have heard hits you the way mendelssohn does when the first note hits you from the violin. Brahms really takes of at about 4:15-5:30 depending on the recording and Tchaikovsky oh...

Just some opinions after listening to the HD650 and previous auditions of the HD600 I had a listen to the 650 yesterday via the Headroom Max Home Amplifier (2004) and frankly I am disillusioned, the 650 is veiled in comparison to most headphones I have heard (Even the 600). If they are tuned to...
