TH600s arrived today.  I'm going to be burning them in as fast as I can, then posting impressions vs. my LCD-2.2s on ALO Pan Am.
And then getting a second job.

LOL

Looking forward to your impressions! I have the LCD-2.2's and TH600's too, but looking for input on how a Pan Am/TH600 combo sounds for work. The HA-160D's too bulky to bring to work everyday

Are they good complimentary cans or is it only worth having one?

I'd also be interested.
I don't know too much about tube amps but I want to get a nice small one oneday.. The Pan Am and Wooo Audio WA6 are similar prices and both tempting, as is the WA7 that people have said pairs so nicely with TH600 (and its a source aswell). Edit: Oh the Pan Am has a DAC too...good value

I'll be getting a TH600 in a few days to try out on my Pan Am, nice to see other people with this combo

Worth having both to me I can't use open cans at work, and don't feel like carrying the TH600 back and forth. HA-160D -> LCD-2 at home and DACPort (soon to be Pan Am) -> TH600 at work.
 
I haven't compared them side to side but the bass on the TH600 feels more visceral from my limited comparative audio memory. Treble is also stronger on the TH600. LCD-2's seem more detailed overall though.

How many hours of burn in does this pair of cans need? it certainly didnt sound so good when brand new

What do you mean it didnt sound so good?

 

[ahhui90]

sounds a little too laid back

 

[namaiki]

What are you comparing it to? What are you driving it with and what kind of music, etc.

 

[ahhui90]

with asus essence one muses.. i listen to a wide range of genres. pop, ballad, rock etc.
im guessing its the lack of burn in :x

 

[namaiki]

It seems the Asus has 10ohm output impedance which probably is too high to be a match.

 

[ahhui90]

should i mod it to low gain?

 

[namaiki]

I don't think gain is exactly the same thing as output impedance, unless this means the output impedance will be lowered as well.
 
Whatever other devices you have, you should generally be able to do a Google search of what their output impedance is and then compare the sound to your Asus soundcard.
