hello Gsferrari, i would like to make a question to you about the HD595.

do you remember your words "like robots in the desert"???
well, i want to know if that impression was given to you after have listened to
the HD595 with the MG HEAD MKI that you own/ed in transformer output mode.
and if not the mg head, do you remember the equipment you used?
thank you!

well, this conversion may interest some of the owners of the hd595 and those who partecipated to a particular thread of some months ago.
that's why i made it public.

I had The following gear:

* Sennheiser HD-595 120 Ohm
* Headroom MAX with Stepped Attenuator
* Rudistor RP5
* Sony SACD source...cant remember the model...mid-fi at best

I heard the 50 Ohm version a little later and it sounded much better. I am still not happy about the build quality though.

you listened to the 50ohm version with the same equipment and the sound was much more different?

do you still own the 595+the mg head?

I never had the HD-595 with the MG Head as far as I can remember. IIRC the MG Head was with me when I had the HD-580 and SR-60.
