    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Quote: I understand the stock WA6 tubes aren't supposed to be that great, but I had the opportunity to buy the unit less than 2 weeks used for a good price so I took the stock tubes. I also wanted to see how much I enjoyed the stock configuration before blowing a couple hundred on new...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Quote: Less than 20 hours on the cans, amp is new, stock tubes/rectifier, about 100 hours on those. I've demoed plenty of closed and open cans and prefer open.

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Quote: I guess middle ground was a bad phrase to use--I just mean something which is has the best qualities of both all while being a bit more "fun". The Grado sound has always appealed to me, but I've only been able to demo the lower end models (I've heard the SR60i and the SR225i). Having...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I recently upgraded to an HD650 from D2000s. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about them. They sound pleasant, but lack the punchy-ness and dynamics of my D2000s. They have good clarity and separation, but lack the soundstage and sparkle of the K701s which I exchanged for them (as many I'm sure...

    Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread

    Quote: I guess I should say I don't listen to rock exclusively by any means. I listen to a lot of electronic music (deep house, UK garage, minimal techno) as well and some hip-hop. I should again emphasize that clarity, detail and soundstage are the most important features to me.  ...

    Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread

    Hey guys,    I want to upgrade from my D2000s and am debating buying either this headphone or Sennheiser HD650s.    I'm looking at something which is a big step up from the D2000s in terms of detail and soundstage. I purchased a pair of K701s but returned them as I felt they lacked body...

    HD800 and T1 musings...

    Sorry to bump and old thread but I'm pretty interested in getting one of these headphones. I listen to a really wide range of music so I know there isn't just one headphone that would suit them all best, but if I were going to get one I'd want the ideal one for listening to something like...

    Looking for a Tube Amp comparable to the Schiit Magni. Price/Performance

    You could get a hybrid like the Hifiman EF2A. Not a full-blown tube amp but you'll get some of the "tube sound"

    How Much Has Audio Tech VALUE Improved?

    Quote: This is more the case. Those saying that prices are high because of limited demand kind of have it backwards. Economics 101 actually tells us that lower demand will decrease the cost. The issue is the fixed costs on the supply side--big consumer electronics companies keep prices low...
