There seams to be threads about people not being satisfied with HD650. Could it be because of improper setup?  I'm satisfied with mine, and curious how other people's setup is like.  Can you guys post your HD650 setup(you are welcome to post pictures

)?  Mine is:
 
computer -> udac -> Elekit TU882 -> HD650

 

[Roger Strummer]

Satisfied with the setup in my sig, with or without the Black Cube Linear (but definitely prefer it with it).

Love 'em with the RSA Raptor and Marantz 8300.

Very good results with Audio-GD DAC19DF and either A-GD C2/Gilmore Lite/KICAS (non-Caliente).

MacBook Pro>RWA Isabellina HPA>HD650

 

[TrumpOrMonkey]

PC -> Teralink X2 USB to SPDIF -> Bel Canto DAC2 -> Audio Gd C2-C -> Sennheiser HD650

 

[Smoke]

PC -> uDac -> Dual CV120 (Vintage Hifi-amplifier) 
 
The Dual is feeding my HD 650 surprisingly well, better then my Hifiman EF2 for sure.

I used mine with a HeadRoom Micro stack and the Amphora before deciding that we just weren't meant to be together.  Good times though.

Cambridge Audio Azur C840C (as DAC) -> CEC HD53R v8 -> Sennheiser HD-650

 

[bluntman]

the hd650s are very nice with detail but way to netural for my gangster ass

 

[Horio]

Mine sound great with the following:
 
PS Audio DLIII > Audio-GD Phoenix > HD650
 
Looking forward to building a balanced cable for the phones.

Didn't know Dual existed back then.  I have a vintage Onkyo, and HD650 goes well with it.  I have read that solid state has higher dampening than Onkyo which limits distortion.

I have exactly the same setup

Haven't settled on a particular tube combination yet.
