Just picked up another amp...a Gustard H10 and I love the way it sounds with the 650's. The power
and high damping factor really gets a grip on the bass. I still prefer the mids via my Bottlehead Crack,
but in terms of highs and soundstage, the Gustard wins out. When I compare my HE500's via the
Lyr and the Gustard, the Lyr has a bit more warmth in the midrange, but a bit less transparency.
I have been around high end audio for 45 years or more and just don't hear the "veil" some are talking
about. The Senns are warmer and richer through the mids and upper bass than some phones, but if
I need lots of slam, there are other cans that will do that. Have owned a lot of cans, but keep coming
back to the Senns.
regards,
