dumb question.... To burn in an amp you don´t need a headphone connected to it just playing audio I assume...

Also for classical with this amp is there any point in getting a HD 650 for classical music if you already have an Ultrasone Proline 750?

X3. It is superb with Ultrasone 2500s, Sennheiser Hd650 (Zu Mobius cable) and AKG 701s all of which I use with the Heed on a rotating basis.

Well, yes, a headphone is kinda essential for burn-in so that the amp is driving a proper load.

dw off topic but which of those three do you preferr for classical music

.

Dex damn I don´t want to over burn in my headphones lol may stick some real old ones in.

As for amps pink noise it´s it more efficient then standard music there as well?

I think it has its uses, but I wouldn't overdo it. Best to alternate with a good assortment of real music. I ran in my CanAmp for 200 hours before I used pink noise, which I used for about 80 hours, intermittently, after that.

The Grado sounds quite mellow and not at all sharp in the highs like it may on some amps. Very balanced and enjoyable sound.

Whose tune did you listen with SR60?
Doesn't the CanAmp do distortion guitar well?
Thanks

Is it possible to over burn in headphones? I would think not because that would mean that normal listening after the burn in period would do harm to SQ, but I really don't know so let's just wait for someone who does to respond.

Obviously, if one leaves the headphones running 24/7 forever, the life-expectancy of the drivers will probably be diminished. But for burning-in the occasional amplifier, I can't imagine it would present much of an issue.

But, then again, if one is superstitious...

Ok. Thanks to you guys (you know who you are dw6928, carlosg, vorlon1, mrarroyo, dexdexter, pinkfloyd) and this darn thread (which I've read multiple times) - l'm ordering the canamp. I've said my goodbye's to the Aria, which sounded a bit dry paired with the K701.

I love the K701 but they are damn picky with amps! I hope my search stops with the Canamp

.

Now only if Alpar can confirm I'm on the next shipment!

I was listening to Diana Krall. Give me some examples of the guitar music you want checked and I will see if I have it and let you know.

 

[dw6928]

Spukee, you will love the relationship your 701s will develop
with your new Heed. Just make sure to give the amp a couple of hundred hours to settle in. It needs it. I assume you did the same with the AKGs, Congratulations and thank you for your kind words.

yes! Alpar confirmed my payment! I hope the employees at Heed Audio is working 25 hours/day!

By selecting the headphone and the cable,
can Canamp play those tunes well?
