will investigate =)

Don't just keep buying more headphones, I suggest looking into a good DAC and AMP. The HD600 is already a very good headphone. Just focus on the upstream equipment. BTW, monolith has given a good suggestion. I think I saw a DT 770/80 in the FS going for 130 or so just now IIANM. If you want a new pair and live in the USA, then try ebay, amazon or guitar center: Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 Closed Studio Headphones and more Headphones at GuitarCenter.com. I don't live in the USA, so I'm not too sure though.

I live in vancouver, BC, canada -- 2010 olympics coming here :/

i'm using a motu traveler

and have this amp -- it's apparently sufficient for headphones but not speakers

Scythe Kama Bay AMP

yeah i try to get all 320 VBR mp3s but from now on i'm going to rip into a lossless format -- probably FLAC.

jesus **** flac files are like 30 MB each -- guess it's time for a bigger harddrive... they sound so much better though

 

[Michael.Warrick]

got my hands on a few flac albums, gonna check em out in a bit =)

Eh.. no Grados? But then again they don't provide punchy bass I guess. AKG 701s?

Most of the complaints I have heard is that the 701 is bassless. Unless you have a really good source you will not be happy with the bass of the AKG K701s/
