To put the HE60 in the same league as the Stax SR-404, SE HD650, Darths and ATH woodies is blasphemy!!!!

Balanced HD650 with a top amp is a borderline case. The rest (GS1000, Edition 9, DX1000, headphile K340, ATH woodies, Deep cup Darths, HE60, Stax4040, single ended HD650 with top amp) are really great sounding hi-fi, but clearly not in the same league. Third league would be (for me): K701, DT880/990, RS1/RS2, HD600, PRO 2500/750, Denon D2000, Kenwood KH-K1000, etc.) Now where do you draw the line? Just my 2 cents... |
