Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I like the marble pattern because it's a unique, legendary headphone, so it's appropriate for it to have some unique touch. If it were a random, forgettable headphone, marble finish would just like weird and cheap.- rainydayweek

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I wonder if anyone has both HD-600 and HD-650 as complementary headphones and if so, what types of music do you prefer each of them for?- rainydayweek

New Member Introductions thread
I used to be on head-fi ten years ago (I lost the pwd to that acct and email), where based on advice here I got me a little dot mk3 and Ultrasone 2500 and Etymotic ER4Ps and Sennh HD595. While I liked the headphones, (Ultrasones since then have broken down), I somehow never ended up using...- rainydayweek

Recommend a good DAC under $300 used
@tesarpa Since you recommended Khadas tone board before (which recommendation I somehow missed/forgot), do you think it sounds better, or about the same, than Airist R2R?- rainydayweek

Thanks to all who answered, I bought the Airist R-2R dac from forums here on head-fi, I will get it soon! Very exciting. A follow up question - I will now have this chain laptop -> usb cable -> Airist R-2R -> ZDT jr. -> HD600. Everything stock except GE tubes on ZDT. I don't have any other good...- rainydayweek

Good idea to upgrade little dot mk3 to massdrop ZDT jr.?
Thanks, that's good to know re: transformer. As for measurement, ideally I would want to have both: a chain as close to perfect accuracy as possible, and another one that sounds most enjoyable to me on widest variety of music. But since i have notably less than infinite money, the latter is...- rainydayweek

I'm using GE tubes I got along with the (used) ZDT jr. , don't know how much they cost but they sound pretty wonderful to my ear!- rainydayweek

@Ymzable Is that your experience with SS amps in that range in general or specifically (or more so) with AAA 789?- rainydayweek

Good idea to upgrade little dot mk3 to massdrop ZDT jr.?
Thanks, I did get the ZDT Jr. (without or w/negligible hum), and really love it. What did you hate about AAA 789? I was thinking about getting a used 789 in a few months to be able to compare to a good SS amp because I've never had one.- rainydayweek

It's not that i like incremental steps, it's that $700 is more than i can spend now :). D70 or D90 sounds really good, thanks!- rainydayweek

Good idea to upgrade little dot mk3 to massdrop ZDT jr.?
I was also looking at AAA 789 and eventually want to get that or something similar, but in the interim I like the idea of softer, smoother tube sound. Similarly for source I like the idea of record players (and have one), and if choosing between more accurate vs. less accurate but warmer sound...- rainydayweek
