Bottlehead SEX here. I'm waiting on a RWA modified 4G Ipod to arrive. In the meantime a Toshiba SD-4960 (plays SACDs) is its source.

A pretty nice combination. Love those 650's!

WooAudio6: Don't have it yet, but I've read plenty of reviews paired with 650s, and they have all been very favorable

Purity Audio K.I.C.A.S. Caliente. Been using it with my HD650 since July 2008, and, to my ear, it's a gorgeous match.

Little Dot MKVI

Any idea when these will be back in stock?

I'm considering the following:

1) K.I.C.A.S. Caliente

2) Gilmore Lite

3) Meier Audio Corda Cantate

4) C.I. Audio VHP 2 (with separate power supply?)

Opinions re the above?

I'm using a balanced β22, but pretty much anything sounds awesome on it. I would recommend a beefy tube amp for the HD650.

 

[Monago]

Meier Corda Arietta.

Currently sounds fantastic with my setup ^_^.

Balanced B22 here as well.
I've been using them with my Millet Hybrid MiniMAX as my work rig which they sound excellent with.
However, the B22 brings them to another level as I'm sure you've read. I also heard listened to them on a B52 (balanced outputs) at CanJam and they sounded wonderful on that as well.

Lehmannaudio Rhinelander. Great little box.

WA6 here and it sounds awesome.

The absolute best I have heard the HD650s sound is when they are powered by the Zana Deux, but a fully upgraded WA6 comes awfully close.
