I'm just getting ready to order this equipment and i wanted to see what people's thoughts are on the pairing. So far i've been strictly a grado listener (sr-80, sr-325i, RS-1) but i'm looking for something warmer and richer. I find the Grado's just a tad too bright in the upper range. I listen to alot of acoustic stuff, alot of jazz, some classical.... mostly mellow stuff.

Go for it. I had this combo and it was pretty good. As well, it is a great basis for future comparisons, and there is high resale on both accounts.

I love the Gilmore Lite but I always found Ray Samuel's Amps were a better pairing with the Senns. I found you have to go higher in the Gilmore food chain before they really drive Senns well. If you want something for both the GL is reasonable, though I would be sure you give Ray's gear a listen when you get a chance.

All possible with my help... mwahahaha!

I'm jealous though...

Yeah, i should mention that. Kudos definately go to Joey_V for helping a very deprived Canadian get access to this gear. I couldn't reach audio nirvana without his help!

Ray's headphone of choice (I think) is the HD600...so it makes sense that his amps will have great synergy with the senns

edit* sorry, this question is more appropriate in the amps forum

I have this combo and I think it sounds really nice, but I also have the Zu Mobius between the two. Lately I don't feel like I'm "connecting" with the music though, but I can't put my finger on whats missing.

If you connected before, it could just be something as simple as "mental". Mood plays with our connection to music.

I noticed this as well. All it took was some time away from my gear and music to really appreciate what I was missing.

I notice that everything I own sounds better and looks better when I feel happy. When I'm a little down, not even my speakers cheer me up.

I'm sure there is nothing wrong with the 650 + GL combo, thats all I'm saying. Mind over matter sometimes!

that or maybe the gilmore lite's dedicated power supply is the missing link

I have the upgraded psu, so I don't think thats it. Maybe I do just need some time away from it.
