HD580 vs K501
I've been saving for a nice headphone/amp combo for a while, and I finally have the money I need. I'm planning on spending about 150 on the cans, and I've narrowed it down to the K501s and the HD580s. They're gonna be driven by a heavily modified cmoy (probably built by Zemo). My sources are 2...- PCJ

580 vs 600 vs 590 with yamaha -> pimeta
I decided to wait some more on the purchase, I really want the best sound for my money. For a few weeks, they will be unamped, but then my headphones of choice will be joined by a pimeta. My sources are 2 yamaha receivers and a Audigy 2 ZS. Grados and Alessandros are almost impossible...- PCJ

Just how bad do the 580s sound without an amp?
great, then I'll get the 580s first. A pimeta is coming as soon as I get more money. Is there any reason to hold onto my 212's?- PCJ

So, I finally decided to upgrade from my 212s. The problem is that I don't have an amp. I have someone to buy my old 212s, but I've heard that 580s without an amp are just awful. I am saving up for a Pimeta right now, but I was wondering if there is even a point in getting the 580s before the...- PCJ
