I'm looking at buying a Sansui AU-505. Anyone have feelings one way or another?
Merkil, I'm looking for a full bodied sound with strong bass. I also like the tube sound. Having listened with the HD555, the sound is more fuller with heavier bass presence. But the HD650 sounded thinner in comparison. Just wondering if these vintages don't output sufficient voltage swing?
Anyone can recommend a vintage amp/receiver that can match well with high impedance cans e.g. HD650? My Kenwood KA5500 doesn't seem to synergise well with the 650s but great with low impedance cans.
Vintage Harman Kardon twin power receivers have a warm full bodied sound: the 430, 730 and 930 are all good, very under rated and cheap on the bay.
The HD650 for the short time that I owned it sounded very good on the 730 and three thirty (non twin power model).

+2 on vintage Marantz, but definitely pricier than HK stuff. HD650 sounds great from a 2230 or 2270.
Not really, it's quite rare in these parts and good models often sold before we get to try em. Speaking of Sansui, how's the au-999? Or would the au-317 be better?
if a marantz 2245 doesn't make the HD650 sound full then I don't know what full sounds like
