Lan means orchid here, I believe. As Chu means bamboo.

Happy new year, Head-fiers!

Great, enjoy your HD650. If you got them brand new, allow some time to break in and they will sound even better. If what you really chase is neutral sound, HD600 probably fit you better, more balanced, that is what I heard.   Quote:

I am listening to a pair of HD650 on E7/E9 and what I could say is simply amazing! The clean and neutral sound signature of E7/E9 works nicely with the slightly warm HD650. I believe what I hear is what HD650 is meant to present, bass is so deep and well controlled, tremble is bright but...

Oh US only. Only if any body want to sold their spare one to UK, please PM me.

Got my E7/E9 combo today. And I love them. My HD555 sounds so much better than from Asus Xonar U1(of course). Deeper bass, wider while realistic sound stage and definitely more details. The sound signature of records doesn't change to my ear, so like others said, E9 is a neutral amp which I...
