Quick update. Just purchased Elise's big brother Euforia. Let the battle commence.

Lol.

Is there a way to rotate this image from my phone? Anyway.... GS5, Neutron MP with PEQ to neutral, Hugo M-Scaler, Chord Dave, BHSE, SR-009... all on my humble wood breakfast table. Yeah, hell with breakfast.

Damn, so that's the sort of ancillary equipment I need if I ever want to get into the SR-009?

Well..there are 2 or 3 headphones that come to mind that are over 140 Euro's cheaper than the HD600 that in my opinion out perform it by quite a bit. When I said what you quoted I was thinking of the HD700 and HD800S and HD820. I think the HD800 is fairly priced though, and in fact plan on buying an HD800 soon.

And which ones would they be? DT-150, perchance? And the others?

I have heard the DT150 and thought it was a very good headphone for the money, but not on my personal list of top 5 "Sennheiser HD600 beaters"..
When I said that, I was thinking of other open-back headphones that are cheaper/similarly priced to the HD600 that in my opinion outperform it; AKG K702 (wider soundstage, better mid's) Beyerdynamic DT990 250 ohm (better mids, soundstage and imaging) and DT880 600 ohm ( more detailed). I must say that I don't want people thinking I hate the HD600, lol, it's just that based on my experience, I consider the HD600 to have severe limitations compared to it's similarly priced (or cheaper) rivals.

I think the fact we are still talking about HD600/650 as reference headphones after 20+ (!) years is the biggest compliments headphone manufacturer can ever get. IMO there are many headphones and systems that beat the good old Senns. But you still have to pay much more if you want a significantly better sound.
I have dug out a very old pic with my first HD600, A recap where I was in 2015 in this hobby. And where I am now.
The biggest fault of the legendary Senns is the bass roll off. Audeze cures that and adds 350% extra.

Truth be told, I never really planned to end up with a rig and setup like this. But thanks to a generous windfall, amongst other things, I have my end-game :3 I'm quite happy with it
