LD Mk III/IV being OTL design amps are more than sufficient to drive the DT-990 600s.   My set up combo is DT-990 600 with LD Mk IV se. Gain setting at high (10). Normal listening level at 3 out of 10.   There are reviews of LD mk III and mk IV on this forum. you can read them out.  ...

My customised volume knob. Nice?   Mirror(polished) finished. Incredibly reflective. This knob is heavy as it is made of solid brass and plated in Gold. Feels solid! The weight gives a really good feel when turning the knob.    

  Quote: Hi . Sup   Neat work there! I am assuming you are using this to hook up a dac with a balance output to the mk IV? I have always been curious, how does it improve the sound? cheers mate.

Acknowledging individual preferences in sound, is it possible for tube rollers here to work toward a reference for tube recommendation with the Mk IV/se using a couple of widely appreciated headphones such as HD 650, HD 600, DT-990, DT-880, AKG 701 etc or even HD 800 and T1. Of course, with an...

wow, looks like we have a few new MK IV/se owners.... That is great to know. Hopefully, we will take the journey together and share as much as possible.   As for the jumper thingy. I too find it alittle too much hassle. I mean, the design should have been more user friendly. Any guru who has...

Hi jr41   'wow, that is great shopping. Envy you. In fact you won't go wrong with the combo you just made. It's personal preference.   Both senn and beyer sound quite differently, so it may not be a bad thing to own both cos each may be more suited for different type of music. In...

I meant easiler to drive the 600 with a OTL. Your Woo Audio, I am very sure is an excellent sounding amp that I too would love to own some day. " class="bbcode_smiley" height="1" src="http://files.head-fi.org/images/smilies//smily_headphones1.gif" title="" width="1" />   Quote:

furyagain, as for the gain setting, there is no right or wrong setting.   however if you feel there is a need for a higher gain setting, and the amp allows, you have the choice. the Mk IV allows good choices.   I am using a 600 ohm phone and I set the setting to 10 (max). I suppose...
