now let me me clearer... there are things on the tape that are more noticable with the K1000/HE90 than with the HD650. the best example is those can's ability to project every movement and character of the insturmentalist's presentation to the audience. with the HD650, you do hear it, but it is blended or it is there but lacking in it's relation to the whole. go listen to a good orchestra and you'll know what i'm talking about. with the K1000 and the HE90, the images and musicians are as clear as an ansel adams picture (or even a sculpture). with the HD650, they are an impressionist painting.
Now i've heard just about every possible amp (balenced, high end SP, Eddie current, Headroom, head amp, dynamight) with the HD650, and these characteristics just don't go away.
I'm used to the Frequency response, and that's not what i deem to be a veil.. but it is this inability to focus that i think is a more veil like quality.

I just know that I completely am at peace with the HD650 with my setup and music tastes. I really do believe that for the person first joining this site, looking for their first can, they should look at a begining Grado, AKG, Beyer, and Sennheiser to make sure that it gels with their music preferences. I always recommend the HD595 for a better begining Sennheiser house sound. If that person is a metal or hard rock fan, then I know they'll more then likely like a Grado. If a person likes electronica and rap: then a begining Beyer. I've just been on a high horse about the HD650 when I hear that it completely lacks detail |
