Which amp/dac combos are u guys using with ur hd650s?
I upgraded from the 598 to the 650 myself, you won't be disappointed!
Welcome to the club!
Thanks guys. So far so good. Too early to make any definite judgement, but so far I'm liking the sound signature. The HD598 was a little too forward, but I do miss that in some songs though. Though I think I need to get an amp to make these really shine. Any cheap but good/fitting amp for the HD650? The Dragonfly Red does the job somewhat, but I'd like to have more headroom.
Budget would be around €300. That's reasonable I think?

BH Crack with speedball, darkvoice 336 or Valhalla 2. Those seem to be the top options in your price range. The Crack probably being the best.
Actually, I have the same budget. IMO, if you like tube amps, Bottlehead Crack w/ Speedball will be a great choice in this price range. Atm, I'm looking for a secondhand Crack in EU, but it seemed to be quite hard.
I was listening to The Trinity Sessions outside of the Trinity church in downtown Toronto earlier today!

Thanks! The Bottlehead Crack looks really interesting. But I'll probably have to grab the Speedball with it if I'm going for it. I'll also have to read up on how much (if any) import VAT etc will be put on the product too.
Another thing I'm a lil worried about is that it's a DIY, especially considering its price. What if I fuq it up?
Edit: I calculated and this endeavour would set me back €540,12 or so.
Never had a tube amp before. I do want one though. They look awesome.

Just jumped on the garage 1217 kameleon preorder. Got a filter for hd650 and he560. Should in an interesting experience. The hd650 plug in is supposed to give subbass presence and extension.
