This is easy for me at the moment:

1. HD650 zu bal

But i do have fully modded and bal recabled D5000 and a pair of HD1000 on route which should shake things up a bit

Well, the O2 has arrived. So, that changes things somewhat.

New ranking:

1) SR-007 MkII
2) HD650 balanced
3) HD600 balanced
4) K340
5) ES2
6) HD600 SE
7) HD650 SE

No ranking for the H2 or K1000 yet, I still can't drive them right. I think the K1k will rank in at #3 (i.e. between HD650 and HD600 balanced), while the H2 could potentially be #1 if its problems were sorted out. But it's not that great as it stands. The SR-001 has been busted for a while so I can't rank it based on memory.

Don't care to rate all of my other gear - UM2, E500, A250, DT770, etc. It all sucks in one way or another.

The O2 is so good that I really don't care to hold on to my other gear. So, I'm debating whether the pack rat instinct should be overcome. Don't PM me with offers though since I haven't yet made up my mind.

(1) AKG K340,
(2) AKG K501,
(3) AKG K701.

The jury's still out as-to whether the K501 are number 1 or (a very, very close) number 2. : )
