Show us your vintage headphones!
Ha, that gentleman is me. Thanks for the compliment :) It took me about 10 minutes the first time I tried these on just to figure out how to wear them. They are actually really comfortable because they don't touch the top of my ear at all.- Crazykiwi

Show us your vintage headphones!
This is a unique 1981 vintage can by Pioneer. They are worn under the chin and have a glasses like plastic arm that holds them over the ears. They are for sale for the right price BTW. http://imgur.com/a/2oBF0- Crazykiwi

Stax SRS 3170 System
It is so hard to find information on STAX. Can I just confirm that this means buying the solid state amp that would usually be part of the 2170 system with the headphones that are one step higher and usually with the 3170 system package? Can this amp drive them to their full potential? I...- Crazykiwi

Intro by Niall a long time lurker
Thanks, just curious how the little Dot 1+ drives the HD600's. I was looking at it for the 650's but was told the power might not be enough. Still considering it however as I think it could be good intro to tubes.- Crazykiwi

Matrix M-Stage ideal gain with HD650
I just picked up a Matrix M-Stage for use primarily with some HD650's. Any thoughts on the ideal 'gain' to set it at? I can hear a difference from listening straight out of the Fiiio E18 DAC.
