I have HD650 with Rega Ear and i love this combo. Very smooth with good punch in tha bass area. My bottleneck now is the Audigy2 soundcard.

I said it to the person over The Rega Ear was actually ment for the higher end Senns wasn't it? I'm really looking forward to have it in my room. I will report back on what I think of it.

I'm happy to hear that you like the Rega Ear HD650 combo The Ear is on its way now. If i'm not happy with it i'd just upgrade the source. Luckily a friend of mine has a EMU0404 card. I don't really hear that much difference from A2 and EMU (when used with no amp) Only that the A2 can play...

Hello! I have HD650 driven directly from my soundcard (Audigy2). My Rega Ear is on its way. I wonder, is the gain on Rega too high for the HD650? Will i earn much if i invest in an E-MU card? I really love the sound now directly from Audigy2. Will the Rega add much for the sound?

Hello. I am thinking about buying an amp, a friend of mine also. We live in Norway so it isnt a lot of amp available here, only Rega Ear and Project Headbox. So, we have to buy from the net and pay before they will ship it. So it can be a risk. Is Headsave.com, Meier-Audio etc. safe?

I'm curios. Do you like the Rega Ear?

I've read many places here that the Rega Ear i a good match with the HD580, 600 and 650 of the Senns. The Rega Ear was built for them.

I came over this amp. http://www.avhifi.no/main.php3?PI=11&PNO=8964 Would that be nice upgrade over the Rega Ear? I haven't heard much about this amp here on headfi.

So, the Emu 0404 card is better than that CD-Player from Cambridge? I'd really want a CD-player, so I can use my A2 for games. Is it a huge difference from Emu and that CD-player?

I think I'l get that Cambridge CD-player and get Rega Ear or Project Head-Box. What do you folks think? Rega Ear or Headbox for HD650?

Isn't there anyone who have heard Cambridge Azur 340A + 340C ? What do you think of it then? How is Cambridge Azur 340A + 340C vs Audigy2 + Rega Ear?

Hello. My HD650 screams for a better system. I wonder what would be best of: Keep my Audigy2 and buy Rega Ear I hear that they match HD650 good, for not that much money.. I found Cambridge Azur 340A + 340C this is a CD-player and a receiver.. And I really would like to know how that...

Yes, I know. I was thinking about E-MU0404 as source. Maybe Rega Ear as amp, since I've heard they match great with the Senn HD580/600/650 family.

Ok, that doesn't sound too difficult. When you put in the new cable, it will sit tight? Not going to fall out, if you aren't very careful all the time.

How do you change the cable? Is it just to pull out and put in the new one? Can everybody do this without problem? Does it improve the sound much?

I had the DT880 but I sold them out of curiousity for the HD650. I'm still in the "burn-in" period. But from Audigy2 I think that they sound a bit similar. But HD650 is more direct and powerful. I did notice that the soundsatge is a bit smaller on the HD650, but the bass and midrange is an...

Thanks! I can just imagine how the HD650 sound when it has the right system on it's back! I hope I can take out some potential with E-MU0404 and X-CANV2 or Rega Ear.

So, with Senn HD650 the Rega Ear is a good match? Is it a better match than X-CANV2?

Now i have it here! But how long shall i burn them in? When i go to bed, is it necessary to burn them in then? It wonæt hurt to shut them off then.. And continue in the morning? I think they sound great right out of the box! On Audigy2!

Well, you've probably right Natsuiro. I have only heard them from Audigy2. And i liked what i heared even then. But now i have to focus on the HD650! Which i will get tomorrow.

I have sold the DT880's, i wanted to try something else. Don't get me wrong, the sound og DT880's was good. But i hope that HD650 will sound better for me. I have now Audigy2, shall i upgrade the source to E-MU0404 first? Or get an amp? (Rega Ear or Musical Fidelity X-CANV2) Will 0404 drive the...

If i upgrade the source to EMU 0404 will the EMU card give as much power as the Audigy2 without amp?

You see, i have a friend that would like to buy my DT880. If i'm not selling it he will buy anyway. So i have one oppurtunity.

I have plans to buy EMU 0404 card very soon.
