I feel the HD600/650 is a much better sounding can than the RS-1's (Please don't shoot me). Was there one there? I know they sound terrible out of the RA-1, because the RA-1 is made for low impedence headphones like Grado's, which is why the 010's get along OK. But I feel, you get what you pay for with the RA-1, and it is a modest amp that yields modest improvements. Mine doesn't make the Qualia sparkle, especially in the bass dept. The A.N.T. amp that Jahn lent me, and the SR-71, offer much better bass slam with the Qualias than the RA-1.
I recently hooked up my SR-71 to my phono preamp, and was amazed what the Qualias can do with a $400 amp in an analog environment. The sound, from top to bottom is crystal clear, and rewarding.
Does anyone else but me, think that the stand that is made for the 010's is totally inefficient at supporting the headphones properly? What were they thinking? You get one included in the box, when you buy them.
