Hello guys.
I have got the HD 650 with the zu mobius cable MK2, thanks to DarKu (who soled them at a very good price). Now i have my dream system. I wanted to get here sometime in autumn, but the opportunity presented by DarKu appeared and i couldn`t refuse it.
Well guys....now i am officially broke
), but i don`t regret any EURO/Dolar spent for it. There are 2 types of broke people:
- the ones who loose their money and don`t get what they want
- the ones that spend their money and get exactly what they want.
I am in the second category
Thank you, DarKu for the excellent pair of cans and for the mobius cable.
When i bought the cans, i had the unique opportunity (i have never listened to a better amp than mine, nor a tube amp), to listen to DarKu`s sound system with hd 650, and with my first good cans hd 595 .
He has the Woo Audio 6 special edition amplifier (special edition means it has the big source), and his Havana DAC.
It is also the first time i have listen to bin-aural music (3d virtual barbershop).
I was absolutely astonished. I had the impression that when i take the cans off i will miss a part of my hair
).
The sound was absolutely incredible for me (coming from hd 595).
I am beginner in this so don`t expect to express myself in a perfect(or even good for that matter
) ) technical way.
I saw a lot of opinions about hd 595 <-> hd 650.
Some said that they liked 595 better. I know that in this "business" you cannot state facts, only opinions, so this is my opinion (remember this).
When i listened to a couple of tracks, and i switched with the hd 595, the sound appeared not to be complete, and the sound-stage was smaller.
The trebble and the bass does not compete with the 650 either, and i am not a guy who wants extreme bass (i only want natural, well defined bass).
DarKu gave me a good tip. To observe separation of the instruments with hd 650. He was right! I can distinguish the instruments very easy. I can listen to my favorite instrument from a classical piece for example.
And the rock sounded RIGHT for the first time in my life. I always had the impression that the heavy guitars were not clear. Well this time the rock sound has all that i want with hd 650.
In my opinion hd 650 is way better than 595 in every aspect (but i only listened to it with the zu mobius cable, not with the stock cable).
DarKu asked me what difference is between his system and my cantate 2 + xonar essence ST.
I could not say at the moment, because i had only listened to hd 595 with my home system, and i did not hear all my system can do. The differences with hd 595 between the 2 were too little.
I was a afraid of something when i was listening at DarKu`system.
I was afraid of the moment i get home and insert the hd 650 in my cantate. I promised myself, no more upgrades for a long while
)
Well...i got home...i inserted the cans, and i listened. The differences are quite big. The sound was much more raffined, clear, soft at DarKu`s.
Lets say the sound is water. Your ears are a lake.
At my audio system the water is pushed by pressure within a pipe uphill, and at DarKu`s the water is softly flowing like a river downhill to the lake.
After a while i adjusted to my sound, and what can i say, i just LOVE IT!!
For now i am very pleased with my system.
Again, thank you DarKu, for the cans and zu mobius cable, and also for giving me the chance to listen to an excellent headphone sound system !
