Nice array. After much listening with your collection, what type of patterns have emerged with them regarding the music you play?

You can tell I am much more into the warm sound but strangely my favorite is the HD800. It just seems to get a sound like no other with soundstage, air, detail and imaging. TH900 is pure fun. Not as much of all the qualities before mentioned HD800 but it adds tight bass and clear highs which makes it fun. LCD3 is romantic with cellos sounding amazing. HE500 does it all with some sparkle on top but you give up a little sound stage (nothing great but great all around). Mad Dogs TH600 and DT770 are my on the go cans. The one I got rid of but miss is the AKG K702 Annies - light weight, sounds great, but open so they couldn't stay as my on the go cans...

I enjoy all genres of music and these guys do a great job of providing enjoyment.

Can't imagine owning both the TH900 and the TH600.

Yeah I know. That's why the TH600 are on sale on eBay right now and will probably post on FS Forum as well.

Loving my AKG K702 65th and nice to see someone with a great collection like yours say he misses them! I am discovering how truly great these headphones are as I break them in and experiment with some different amps.

My latest bedside rig configuration.  Fostex T50RP (self-modified), ancient Sony Discman (sounda great), equalizer, and the venerable Asgard 1.

Yes, same principle.  The T50RP are a little bass-light and a little honky in the midrange, so eq'ing them levels things off to a pretty remarkably flat curve.
 
The eq also lets me adjust the 1.0 v signal from the Discman to 2.0 v before feeding it into the Asgard.

Does using a equalizer help? Like software EQ vs hardware EQ.

Got my TH-600 back (I gave them for a couple of days to a friend for a listening... as a result yesterday he ordered himself TH-600
