Just an atom i've gone the way of iems and closed back my new favorite closed back is the neumann ndh20 and my iem of choice sonys ier z1r but im buying a AK kann cube its on the way.

I've been having a lot of fun with IEMs, closed back headphones and a portable DAP/DAC this summer. Been doing a lot of listening outside. Hardly done any listening inside the house the last couple of months. AK kann or iBasso Max is on my watchlist for next year....

If i could find more ibasso products in the market I would of probably just bought the dx220.

True to form, the HD650 still climbs higher and higher, they have never sounded this good. I used to think the whole "HD650 scales well" thing was bologna, glad I realized I was wrong. Definitely a permanent fixture in my collection.

With a 6 pack of 6BX7s they can get downright punchy as heck. They can also extend pretty low with the right tube combination. It’s a very versatile, punchy, layered, and dynamic amp.

Absolutely, punchy is the right word for it, something I cannot remember ever saying about the HD650! Enjoying the ride so far

Enjoy dude! I have to tear down my listening set-up today for a mancave remodel. I will be down for about 2-3 weeks,which sucks. My new DAC is supposed to come in today too,but cant use til after remodeling is finished.

That has to be make you nuts... I bet you mentally prepared for that already.

Don't encourage him - first, the guy HAS a mancave (I am already jealous), and then - he's improving it!!!
I want a mancave, too

LOL!

Good point...

I tried to man cave my basement once but dang, we have so many totes down there it took forever to dig out a spot of my own. Then there’s the acoustics I was dealing with... thankfully I am allowed one room which holds all my audio stuff. I’m gracious to have that!

The Toshiba 6BX7 has a very pleasant glow from the filaments, I took a 15 second exposure photo, I think it came out well.

Oh,you have no idea just how much this is driving me nuts! Ive been mentally prepping for this for months,and now its about to happen....Grrrrrr.

When we were house shopping a finished basement was a must have. No way I was gonna buy a home w/o a mancave.

The 'improvements' are nothing im thrilled about,in fact were removing the gross carpeting and putting in hardwood floors,so there goes the acoustics right out the window,but it will improve the resell value of the home.
Three years and counting til we go to Arizona. No snow! However Az homes dont have basements,so I will lose my mancave,but if I never see another drop of snow or single digit temp it will be a worthwhile tradeoff.

And you can get a tube amp module for it

Snow? That's the white stuff one sees on TV and movies... right?
(no complaints when it comes to my NorCal weather!)

Yeah,thats the offensive substance. Im from SoCal,and lived in tropical climates for a good chunk of my adult life,but the last 5 years ive been here in NY.
@2359glenn thinks im a big baby,but im simply not built for this crap. Cant wait to get to the desert!

 

[pippen99]

I spent two years in Phoenix. Could not get out of there fast enough. Different strokes.

The 2 are not mutually exclusive!
