If its a good processing shop they should be able to handle things. In the long run for low light (concerts especially, where youre depending on some one else lighting the scene) digital is the way to go. Either canon/nikon's mid 1k offerings will do things that were very difficult to pull...

dfkt: nice looking cameras, got any scans of shots from them? Heres a recent photo: This is a test photo, from the nikon d300 used as a light meter/instant camera so when I bring in the Mamiya I can just do the shot. That photo Ill be doing this weekend.

I dont get any "boominess" out of the udac, Id actually like some of that . For me the udac, is bright and punchy. Not really warm for me it thins out the lower mids and bass a bit too much. At times it can be thin and grainy especially with horn instruments. Anybody else notice this...

Using the uDac with HD650s the forwardness is there. At times its a bit much, anything with a lot of horns can test your limit Its also pretty bright. That being said the issue of punchiness and brightness and if its too much is just going to boil down to personal preference. However Im not...

Check out Soil & Pimp Sessions if you want some bad ass exciting contemporary jazz.

There are a lot of people in both tube and ss amp camps for the HD650, I've always had ss amps so I can only speak to how they effect them. Im digging my c2c with them a lot. Tube may be a great way to go, especially for the price (its not too much of a risk). As for EQing, theres nothing...

I think the sharpness and brittleness is a result of result of the uDac. Hell it made my HD650 sound brittle and thats tough.

Amping the 650s has been interesting. I had been using a vintage, well 80s, Onkyo stereo receiver for a few years. With the HD650s they sounded super warm, recessed a bit in the upper mids and highs. Basically dark like everyone has said. Having just purchased an audio-gd c2c from a forum member...

Having been using it and getting acclimated to its sound, its definitely a fine product. A little punchy for my taste, but certainly not bad. If youre low on cash, space, or if you move around much its great.

Awesome, enjoy! Having had been a grado person for a long time (sr60s and sr325i) and feeling like I was missing out on a good chunk of the body in the music I purchased the HD650s. Have not looked back since. Honestly I dont know how to feel about grados. The 325i is a decked out, aggressive...

Arent they almost double the budget of the others for you? If youre bumping up your budget that much, there are a ton more options.

First question would be what is the real quality of the audience recordings? That is a totally unknown world to me. Are they done with cassette recorders held up? Or are the band/stage/sound guys involved? If it really is 90% of what youll be listening to Id be apprehensive about giving...
