I am in the process of selling off my amps and speakers from a high end system and spending the proceeds on hopefully a very high end headphone system. The reason for this is due to my changed circumstances and moving to a much smaller dwelling, that will not house my present system(without...

I now have a pair of HD 800 on order. I will be pairing them with my Mapletree HD Super Plus II which is just around 12 months old, it cost me £750 by the time I got it to the UK,so whatever that is in dollars, not exactly peanuts, so I am not planning to get rid yet. I would hope this amp will...

I havnt got a balanced amp though, so for now I am thinking of using my left over Mobius , surely should be much better,as I am going to S.D on my HD 650. Here I am listening for differences with interconnects on these cans, and one pod is wired through the rails....

Thanks for the assembly drawings...most helpful. I have just pulled mine apart using these and now can see no problem rewiring. Fancy using the headband rails to feed the R/H cup, how naff is that. Yet they sound so good. I am getting Silver Dragon for my HD 650 and could use my ZU Mobius for...

Just got a pair of K 701 this week and have been burning them for 70 hrs now. I am just listening to Depech Mode, Violator. I am hearing things I have not heard before, and sooo musical. I am using Xcan V3 although this has all the Pinkie mods , I am well happy, but admit I am curious about the...

I find with any new headphone or most other Hi Fi it all improves after a significant amount of burn in, at least 100hrs, THEN YOU CAN START TO LISTEN, GIVE IT TIME. Also you need to live with things a while, often the most impressive kit becomes fatiguing after a while.I am just burning a new...

OK I Have sent for the Silver Dragon. Ill have a play with both the Zu and SD,then sell off the Zu if SD prefered. Should sell easily here in the UK as we cant just go out and buy it TAX TAX TAX Rip off Britain and all that.

Excellent write up. I too have Senn HD 650 Mobius. I agree about cable stiffness, but can live with it. I have always loved the sound but now you make me wonder weather to try the SD. I also have the Xcan V3 but modded with Panasonic caps etc as to this link here in the UK ...
