+1 totally agree the BH Sex really is a superb amp, I am really enjoying mine. No worries about tube rolling either, new tubes are around $15 or less and reportedly are meant to have a life span of over 10000 hrs!

I don't see how balanced really helps these cans. I've tried running them off balanced sources, I have an audio interface and a balanced mixer and I butchered a cable for the HD650 and did a Dual TRS connection and couldn't tell much difference other than maybe a little less crosstalk
I've heard that if you run the HD 650 in balanced mode on the Sennheiser amp, the results are amazing, like taking your headphones out of the closet and hearing them out in the open for the first time
I'm willing to bet most differences between balanced and SE are placebo.
Nope. With my LCD-3's balanced made a nice improvement but with the 650's it's the difference between a good and a great headphone.
On the same amp, or one amp was SE and the other balanced? Because different amps would make a big difference.
Same amp. I've done it on both the Bryston and the Sennheiser.
Volume matched? Because I'm a skeptic at heart, but this intrigues me.
I'm willing to bet most differences between balanced and SE are placebo.
