    A good amp to drive HD600's

    This is the quandary.  At listening levels with the 600's it seems like I may be overdriving the little amp.  I'm thinking the K5 will get the nod and then I will have that for nightstand use / office desk use etc.  It is inexpensive enough that if I do find it helps with any clipping then I may...

    What's Your Alcoholic Drink of Choice? // Drink Discussion

    If anyone wants to dip their toe into the taste of the Islay whiskies but don't want to have a whole bottle of Lagavulin or Laphroaig that they can't drink because it is too peaty; I would suggest a bottle of the Bowmore.  Only the slightest hint of peat and VERY drinkable at any time.  YUM!  ...

    A good amp to drive HD600's

    LOL. Right you are sir. I never use the 600's while flying so as you say, just use the x3 for flying. With iem's it is perfectly fine. I'm just all caught up in the new "This sounds awesome, what else can I do" part of this sickness. Not my fault. I'm just a guy. I'll find something else...

    A good amp to drive HD600's

    The K5 does look like a perfect fit for the HD600's and it very well make the cut for my office at home. I'm thinking the E12 for portability on planes and in the field. Thanks for the heads up on the K5. Paul

    A good amp to drive HD600's

    I am loving the sound. However this is my first DAP so I may be very biased towards it. I downloaded some dsd files and they of course sound amazing. :D

    A good amp to drive HD600's

    Looking at the specs the E12 should be better able to drive the 300ohms of the HD 600's. I was hoping to see a bit of improvement in SQ by not driving the amp in the X3 so hard. Having said that, I am very happy with the sound so far. This is my first DAP and the first time running the HD 600's...

    A good amp to drive HD600's

    Hi all.  I just picked up a great Fiio X3ii on here for a sweet deal.  Now I'm looking to pick up an amp to complement it and drive my Senn HD600's.  Looking for something portable to go with the X3ii.  With the 600's being difficult to drive will any of the small Fiio amps cut it?   Thanks in...

    How about Fargo Brewing Co. Stones Throw Scottish Ale. Yum!!! I'm starting to think I may have a drinking problem. :stuck_out_tongue:

    What's Your Alcoholic Drink of Choice? // Drink Discussion

    Have to agree with that as well. Definite surge in wine consumption in the US. Must be the "new thing". Just about every town has a winery of some sort and therefore wine tastings. That is a great way to find your taste. The great thing is my wife is pretty much exclusively a wine drinker so I...

    I have to agree. I had a bad experience with tequila when I was young. Now it all smells like old gym socks to me. It has to be very good quality to be able to even make it past my nose let alone down my throat. Easier just to stick with a yummy single malt. Balvenie 12 Doublewood this time.

    The decline of drinking straight whiskey

    I was in Glasgow for six months in 2015 and ended up doing the Auchentoshan tour a couple of times with some colleagues.  Once was with the general tour which is great in itself and then we were treated to a VIP tour with the lead engineer.  This time we were taken into the blenders room where...

    What's Your Alcoholic Drink of Choice? // Drink Discussion

    This sounds like something that could be experimented with as a home brew type of drink.  Most iced tea drinks are too sweet as you say but a fresh unsweetened iced tea and bourbon start and then adding to taste would be a good afternoon killer...  :-)   Paul

    Senns HD650 with Little Dot mkii amp with Rasberry pi and onboard DAC but low output

    Looks very interesting.  If for nothing else than just something to fool around with.  Better than sitting in the bar all night after work.  (Well..  maybe not that good..    ) Maybe the PiAmp too...   Cheers,   Paul
