The Asgard and the HD600s are a match made in heaven.



Thanks for the tip, I'm about to suck the life out of my bank account again

Has anyone heard the Asgard with Beyer DT 990's, particularly the 600 Ohm? 
 
Also the AKG K 702's?


Haven't heard it w/ the 990s but I have heard it with the 600 ohm T1s.  Sounded ok.  I did not listen critically.  I was listening for obvious problems like power transfer and apparent distortions.  I didn't hear any overt problems.

I wan't aware that they tweaked the 650's. This is encouraging news. My RS-1's and my HD-600's were my first pair of headphones
since my Koss Pro 4AA's. I take that back. As soon as I left my tightwad of a first wife, the first thing that I did was head to J& R and
ask for the best headphones that money could buy and they sold me an incredibly nice pair of Beyer Dynamic DT-901's for $399.
The only problem was the coiled cord but I was in hog heaven.
B&O tried to sell me some pair of BeoSound something or others, but I wouldn't bite. They looked cool, but had huge gaps in the mid-bass.
Like the Bose, all bottom and top, with nothing in-between. 
Their store sure was was cool, though. I figured if it was good enough for "La Femme Nikita" it would be cool for me.
Then I woke up and smelled the polypropylene.

Hi Jason, would this baby of yours be able to drive the beyerdynamic DT-990 (600ohm)? The reason why I am asking is because I just ordered one from amazon.com. I am looking at a amp now. I am thinking this amp or the coming tube one from your new company.
 
I am also liking Caryin HA-1A. So these are the three I have short listed so far.
Hope to hear from you soon.
 
Regards

Oh, I just noticed you're in Europe. I gave you the measurements in dinky little imperial units. Check THIS out!
 
229mm x 171mm x 57mm.
 
Is that awesome or what?

AAAHHHHHH!
 
I thought there was no tax when buying from the site, even for CA residents??
 
Anyway,  I took the plunge with a Valhalla. I hope I'm not disappointed!
