Rameish 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Yes we musn't forget the RVK - magical with the DT-931 less so with the HD-600 - still nice but at that price it need to be magical. Still looking for that elusive amp for the HD-600. sigh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blues 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 what about headroom MAX? supposedly very good with the hd600? If I am lucky I might be able to get emp by the next meet. See if it can match the hd600 well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lengcm 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 My current setup do sound pretty good with the HD600. My only complain is that it lack dynamics for certain music... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rameish 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 (edited) Okay here's what I've tried with the HD-600. X-Cans V2 - nice but volume pot inbalance a my listening levels (beginner's amp) Grado RA-1 - see above Grado RA-1 Clone - better but does not have the texture of the RKV Creek OBH-11SE - yuck pui! Murky as hell on a forgy london morning. RKV- very nice but dont like the roll off in the highs - better with the impedencer but not fantastico. PPA - AD-8610 varient - good but sounds too much like a Gilmore - ie bright highs that have a slight glare. META 42 - OPA637/4 stacked buffers with solen signal caps - Have reached the limits of the META 42 design but ya it's nice but not fantastic X-Cans V3 - heavily modded - good performance but at that price (ie S$750 for the base unit and another S$200 to 300 for mods it ain't worth it). Lacks the texture of the RKV Supra/MPX3 - not known. Hehe...forgot about the Corda Prehead AD-8610 - comes closest to the right sound but still lacks a little something. HA-2 LM version - better details but less air so no go. HA-1 MkI - nice but it's really made for the DT-931. Edited November 5, 2003 by Rameish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lengcm 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Quoting tropicalrips hav anyone tried jason's HD600 with his PPA? i think only me & Kenshinz tried it during our "mini meet" in suntec city, i only tried it briefly. first impressions : birght on vocals bass was a suprise good staging i think jason is tweaking it with some new stuff (regulated power supply) bass was a surprise?? bright vocals?? Not too sure what you mean on the bass but I guess for the vocal you were refering to the sibilance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can be bright and sibilant if matched with the wrong interconnects. Edited November 5, 2003 by lengcm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
