Still K-1000 then HP-2

But lately since I've gotten my speakers set up right, they are king.

the k530 is just an updated K301, a pretty poor headphone in relation to the 401 or 501, no comparison really.

Well, I didn’t listen to the 401 or 501, but the 530 was not that bad in my opinion. Solid, but not good. I decided to spend more money to buy the HD-650 at the end of this year. They only get good reviews and I think I’ll like them. Might need a better amp next year though.

Oh, yes, I think you've got them at the right point in the rankings. I also think it's safe to say the HD-650 will be taking your top spot in the new year. You're right, though: now you're on the slippery slope, and the amp upgrade comes next.

Don’t know which to buy yet, but I’ll do some research in the forums.

1) Stax SR-007
2) Stax 4070
3) Stax SR-404
4) Stax SR-Lambda Pro
5) Stax SR-X/MK3

The SR-404 and SR-Lambda Pro are a close tie, but I put the SR-404 a tiny step above...
