    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    WA6 and the HD650s are amazing together! I mean, the LD MkIII is great, but this sound is even tighter and more powerful. This is as close as I have come to the holy grail. The sound really opens up, and the power reserves seem bottomless. I cannot imagine this can become any better with the...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I have just received my pair of HD650s. I have used the HD600s for 8 years. They provide the most neutral sound I have heard in a pair of headphones. However, they also make 5% of my albums sound amazing and 95% like crap (I listen to a lot of progressive and symphonic metal). The HD650s are not...

    I am looking for a worthy successor to Denon AH-D2000

    aamefford: Sounds perfect! I am skeptical about them being supra-aural, though. I have already got the Grados to represent uncomfortable headphones. SillyHoney: Nice! I have waited for my WA6 for a few weeks now. I know it is on its way, so you can imagine how excited I am! Ypoknons: I...

    I am looking for a worthy successor to Denon AH-D2000

    Thanks for all the replies! Valiente: I am looking for a pair of closed headphones for an office environment, so the K701 are not an option. Acix: The RS1s are open headphones. I hope I get to try them at home at some point, though. MacedoianHero: From what I have read in this forum...

    I am looking for a worthy successor to Denon AH-D2000

    I think I should move away from the Denons. They are good, but not engaging enough. I do not believe modding them will give me what I am looking for. I want to try a new sound signature.

    I am looking for a worthy successor to Denon AH-D2000

    I listen to most of my music at work and thus need closed headphones. My rig there is little Dot DAC_1 -> little Dot MkIII -> Denon AH-D2000. The amp is soon to be replaced with WA6. At home I listen to nuforce DAC -> little Dot MkV -> Sennheiser HD600 or Grado SR225i. I really love the...

    Corda Swing

    I have got both the Corda Swing and the Little Dot MkV. I have just tried them both with my HD600 headphones. I would definitely recommend the MKV for anyone using Sennheiser HD600/HD650. The Swing sounds too dark and underpowered with the HD600. As soon as I switced to the MkV the sound...

    How to make a speaker system sound as good as a headphone system?

    Thanks for the answers Oddly enough, I am not into playing music really loud. I just enjoy having a dynamic sound at moderate levels. What I cannot figure out is how that is possible with my Little Dot Mk V amp, Total BitHead DAC/amp and Denon D2000, but not with a high end set-up. I...

    How to make a speaker system sound as good as a headphone system?

    I am fairly new to this forum and have spent the past few weeks reading hundreds of posts, especially anything concerning the Denon D2000 and Little Dot Mk V (which, because of this forum, I have just acquired). You are right about the sorry about your wallet part. I am already curious about the...

    Denon AH-D2000 or Sennheiser 600's - help out a Nub

    moonboy403: Except for the EF1, I do not know of any other tube amp that works well with the Denons. And the EF1 probably works because it is a hybrid. The D2000's low ohm make tube amps put out less power and more hiss than they would driving something like the HD600s. Do you know any tube...
