The HD600 fans always say...."you need the right amp". This just means the HD600's are just too overpriced and overrated. |
Since the K501 need even more of an amp, and the K1000 even more than that... I guess those must be "overrated," too? And the ER4S... those two, prolly...

I listen to HD600's, but I will not worship them. |
LOL, I don't know anyone who worships them.

As far as sound this, sound that, amp this amp that. I have been listening to audio for over 30 years. I was weaned on tubes. I was fixing all sorts of electronics over 25 years ago. |
My jimmy is bigger than yours
But seriously, I could list my "qualifications" here, too, but as long as someone actually knows what a real performance sounds like, they're qualified to talk about sound quality, IMO.

How can you be "keeping an open mind" when you make claims that are patently false?

Yep, HD600's are a bit overpriced at $350. Sure, you can probably squeeze some up at $255, but they are not worth that either. |
You can easily find them for $220 shipped, and I, and many other who know just as much about "good sound" as you think they are worth every penny. I own both the V6 and the HD600s, and the HD600s are *easily* worth the 3x cost premium. The only single advantage the V6 have over the HD600 is in bass extension -- and it has that advantage over pretty much every headphone on the market. While bass extension is important to me (witness my posts on the K501), I won't give up everything else -- treble, midrange, detail, soundstage, musicality -- just to get the ability to roll off 5Hz lower.

Troll? Nope. Just things that people don't want to "hear". |
I couldn't care less if we have differing opinions. There's nothing I "don't want to hear." What bothers me is a) you made statements that were patently false, and there are newer members on Head-Fi that might make the mistake of actually believing you; and b) the tone of your post, which had "troll" written all over it.
There's nothing clever about going into a forum and making outlandish and completely false claims, and then punctuating them with comments implying that those who don't agree "have not experienced GOOD sound, or even live sound" and simply "think the press or reviews make headphones sound good."
