Sorry for the bad quality, but what I'm currently running is: Marantz 2252b --> Project debut III turntable ---> Grado SR60i Thinking about buying a pair of Sennheiser HD600's. Anyone have any experience/suggestions about the integrated amp being able to drive those Senn's?

I bet that setup sounds sweet especially with older original vinyl.  Grado and Vinyl go really well together.

Yes, it's very warm and crisp sounding. Do you know how well Sennheiser handles vinyl?
 


Sennheiser and Grado are like polar opposites sound wise, make sure that's what you want before you buy. Otherwise you might just want to try a higher end Grado. :wink:
Vintage amps can be quite good for headphones, my Sherwood S-7210A was able to best my old Burson 160DS for not even 1/10th the price. The only real issues you come in contact with would be impedance mismatches. That only really would come up with low-impedance phones like your Grados though, if those sound fine then I don't think you'll have any worries. You can usually tell if you're having impedance problems because the bass will sound 'un-natural', if you had that problem you'd pick up on it rather quick.

Quick shot from my iPhone. On Tapatalk. Didn't feel like getting out the Nikon.

Looks like I'll be inputting a different image...

This image is horrible in comparison to you usual pictures.

 
Yeah, I'll redo that in a few minutes. My bad...

Here you go with the Nikon. HA-160DS - Toxic Cables SPC - HD650. I should have my Burson HA-160 + DA-160 combo here soon and may upgrade to an LCD-2 Rev. 2 sometime in the near future. For now, I'll stick with my HD650's.

Crop that bottom left corner out, or reshoot it with the table's edge causing a distraction, and you've got one brilliant photo!

Yeah, I figured the Senn's would have a very different sound signature. I have thought about just upgrading to some 325i's or even the RS1's but I find that I haven't been listening to much metal or hard rock lately (why I bought the Grado's). I've been listening to stuff like Sigur Ros - more laid back. Plus I wanted to hear something different than the Grado's. I'll most likely audition before I buy, though.
