Anyone have experience with the Arrow 4G and Sennheiser HD650 (or similar headphones)? Will Arrow be capable of running them? Is it a good match?
 
Any input welcome!

 
I run my 4G with the HD600 and it handles them easily.  It should be a nice match with the HD650 as (to my ears with no EQ boost) it is very clean and uncoloured (wire with gain).
 
It also has no problems with my DT880 600ohm or K701.  It's a very powerful unit.

Yes, for a portable amp there are few that drive them as well. I use my 650s with the Arrow all the time when not at my desk. The 4Gs treble boost gives the 650s a little more top end when needed/wanted.

Hi guys,
I know these headphones are not released yet, but how well do you expect the Arrow to pair with the V-moda M-100's? Do you expect it to make a "300 dollar difference"? Afterall, the m-100 could be quite efficient. I'd love to find out, but it's a pricey bet. Thanks!

(And perhaps someone can comment on the Arrow in combination with other V-Moda phones, like the LP's or M-80's)

Hey guys , help me out here please
 
 
I have an 1G arrow and i am thinking of upgrading to the newer 4G version
 
can someone who had the 1G and upgraded to the 4G tell me if it's worth it (i think it is) and what major/minor sonic differences he experienced between these 2 models ?
 
and would you upgrade from 1g to 4g or not and why ?


Thanx a lot for any opinions/feedback whatsoever

I had a 2G then a 3G ... and I demo'd the 4G when it was in production. I'd guess the main difference would be in the tonality of the bass boost circuit (1G/2G/3G being a bit stonger, more "taugt" sounding...whereas the 4G is "smoother") ... otherwise?  Sonically? I think the amps will perform, basically the same ...

Tell us more about sending your amp in for an upgrade. Does robert offer such a service? If so, what is the cost? Thanks in advance.

I do believe it is a better sounding device but the bass boost is pretty much there for show now. All 3 levels of boost sound almost the same to me, but I'm a Treble/Mids guy so I don't mind not having overly boosted bass if it means the other freqs are better. I'm also experiencing less interference issues (less than the 3G but its still there a little). If you're a basshead you are probably not going to be happy with a 4G compared to the 3G. I am very happy with my 4G I don't regret the upgrade at all.
