I just bought three items I previously owned and sold:
Headroom Coda Amp
Headroom Overture LE DAC
RSA Hornet - non M (Let it fly boys )
Oh and a headphile stand from JP#'s
Happy Birthday guys. Why again does the cake have to be on ice in Iceland? J/K even though I still do hangout some on HeadFi but everybody does love cake
For the best SQ - Sennheiser HD-25-1 II and don't look back except to replace the stock cord with a HD-580/600/650 cord.
For the best comfort and Good SQ - Go with the Denons, they are a steal at their current price
I did. The only dynamic can amp you have tried is a Gilmore Lite? Certainly a solid amp, but certainly not one I would pick as driving the 650, 501 or 701 to their potential. I guess my original supposition was not too far off.
Well that really sucks, he had to die while the witless shrub was still in charge of the asylum .... shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits!
Soundwise, I think they are the best closed headphones that can be driven by a reasonably powered amplifier. My only issue with them is that after 1 1/2 to 2 hours they become uncomfortable for me to wear. That's why I use them at my home desktop (shorter listening sessions) but not at work where I use recabled Denon D2000s (longer listening sessions).
They don't get any play on the big rig since I much prefer any of my balanced cans.
