Is that me or everyone seems to have a Lyr nowadays? I wonder if Lyr can actually drive HE-6 and LCD-3 really well (doing them justice) and matching up to their quality (as headphones) in sound... Can anyone care for a brief comment on this, please?

IMHO Lyr is driving HE-6 good, but not very good and not even close to what they are capable of

I have barely listened to the HD650 since I got the HE-500 so I can't really say what the exact differences are.
 
But one thing that stands out is the bass for sure, the HD650 seems thin compared to the HE-500. Everything just seems a lot more natural, you feel closer to the singer and I also prefer the instrument separation.
 
 As I said, I have only listened to the HD650 for an hour or two since I got the HE-500.

how is the HE-500 compared to the HD650 hooked up with the Lyr? =)

Just got the D18 in today.  Figured I'd take a quick shot.  I'll probably end up hiding the Audinst away so things aren't so cluttered-looking

Very nice looking O2.

I got a new piece of gear to add to my set-up. It's a KRK KNS-8400 headphone.
 
My dad on the other hand upgrade from his Music Hall MMF-5 to a Marantz TT-15. I'll probably pass my WA3+ on to him as well, he needs a dedicated headphone amp after all!
 
I'll post pics of the turntable after it's all done being set-up.

yes i love it, very jelous of the neutrik 1/4 jack, the stock blue 3.5mm on mine suck...
 
could we get more details about the case and moar pictures? Where is the on/off and gain buttons? Could we possibly get an inner and back picture?

The back panel isn't as minimal or pretty.  Basically, the board is set up backwards with power, gain, input, etc on the back panel, while the volume pot and headphone jack are wired long enough to reach the front.  The case was just made from scrap aluminum.  You should check out the "Post pics of your builds..." thread to check out some truly nice enclosures

Thanks a lot, now your comment rattles my curiosity on the HE-500 even more...

I would call woodied Grados and Thunderpants pretty fancy. Those are beautiful.

 

[Kojaku]

Both are Sapele. The Grados were a very long process. The TP's are very recent additions. Glad you like them

Beautiful. I love that both headphones use the same wood.

 

[Coolzo]

Kojaku, I'd practically kill for those woodied headphones of yours.

About one month ago, I had this:
 

 
and this:
 

 
Went through this much of tubes, and more:
 

 
Wasn't really satisfied with the amp-headphone matching, and the comfort of the headphones, so I got this:


 
and this:


 
Great sound. Then wanted something more comfortable, so I got this:


 

 

 
Half a year ago, I didn't have any headphones. Now I have these:


 
Life is good. Now I can start working towards the 009.
