Hi all,
This is for owners, or former owners, of both the DT880/600 and HD650 at the same time.
I own both the Sennheiser HD650 and the Beyerdynamic DT880/600, and I am currently driving them with a Headroom Micro Amp that does a fairly good job with both of them, but I feel that there is much more sonic potential to be had with both headphones.
I have briefly listened to both headphones very briefly, but not in the same time frame, with the Woo Audio 3, and I thought it sounded really good with both of them, if memory serves well?
Thats been well over a year ago, and in fairly noisy environments.
I have heard the 650's with the MF X-can V8, and Headamp GS-1, and the 650's sounded really good with both of them, but I have not heard the Beyer DT880/600 with any of the amps above in the poll.
I don't want to have to buy two seperate amps for each headphones, but a SINGLE good one that brings out the full potential of both headphones, and drives the Beyer DT880/600 ohm with plenty of power and authority.
I have no preference for tubes or solid-state, and I am in neither camp. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, and I have heard both sound outstanding in the past.
Price does not really matter either, but I would really prefer spending less than $900.00 or so. [Hopefully a lot less!].
I listen to basically all kinds of music under the sun, but I am not really a rap or heavy metal fan.
I want an amp that brings out the full detail of the 650, and lifts the slight veil, and sometimes slight muddiness, drives them with authority, opens them up, and brings them to life.
With the DT880's I want them driven by an amp with power and authority, opens them up fully, while minimizing brightness or sibilance, and opens up the soundstage.
Does such a one trick pony amp for the Senns and Beyers exist?
If not, does one come really close?
Which amp in this poll would work with the best synergy for BOTH of these headphones, while having the least sonic compromises with each, IYHO?

Well, maybe Beta22, but for those, I'd still say Dynahi.
