Thanks for the suggestions will ck them out. - tried the lcd-2 classic, liked it. Was considering the lcd closed, but haven’t had a chance to try them out. - I also struggle with the diminishing returns concept. Not that the senn 600/650 is the be and end all of headphones, but I debate with...

100% on the 650- Planning on picking up a Drop 6xx next time it goes on sale. First priority tho is a closed back set

Hi all! Came into some cash and looking for suggestions for my next level up. Been out of the market for years and need help catching up. It's really frustrating that there are so few places near me to try these out in advance. - looking to spend around up to $1k including headphones and...

I've also heard some glowing things about Supermicro IV?

Ok -- to address some of your excellent questions.... I do understand that my 580s are power hungry and that is precisely why it only took me 2 weeks of ownership to be ready to jump on an amp. I think that my primary appeal of a portable for me is the flexibility- I love the option of not...

Ok- I know there are hundreds of posts like this and I've read most of them. But here's the golden audiophile question- Where is the point of diminishing returns...? You guys steered me from a sr60 to a hd580 and it was the best purchase I've made in years- perfect for my bright-sensitive...

I think I'll pull the trigger on the EBay one. For a few bucks more I'll get a brand new one, the warranty and not have to worry about someone else's stanky head smell Thanks again guys.

This is one of the best forums I've seen-knowledgable, passionate, not much flaming- Very, very cool- Thanks for the help. So where to find a pair? I've looked around alot and there doesn't seem to be anyone carrying them anymore. So... Used- Are there any good spots to look, other than...

Ok-- Sounds like the 580s are the majority opinion but here's the heart of my concern on them.. I've beem around alot of high end audio and I have heard some of the most expensive/well reviewed precise speakers out there. Unfortunately some of these have literally sucked the LIFE out of the...

Ok- just realized how much already posted comparisons there are between the 595 and 580-Just disregard- SORRY I hope it didn't seen like I was low-ending the 580, not at all- just surpised at how pricey these now hard to find, discontinued cans still are even used... But I will ask this...

How does the 580 compare with the 595? I did a quick search online and the 580 seems like it's in the $140-160 used, $180-200 new, range- Wouldn't the 595 be a better deal at $180 new? Believe me, you're preaching to the choir when it comes to amping it. I think I'd rather spend around...

Hi All- Bought the SR60 and need some suggestions from the local gurus about my next purchase.... -First of all-- based on all the recommendations here I went with the 60 despite some warnings about the bright nature of Grado line and I probably shouldn't have.There's a lot to love with...

I need an alternative -- how can I connect headphones without an available jack. I can't believe a company like Rotel didn't include it on one of their units- I have a RSX 1055 HT Receiver. I just didn't plan on using headphones when I bought it. Thanks in advance- Russ
