lengcm 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2003 Hmm...listened to 2 versions of the X-Cans V3 recently. One was headphonecrazy's heavily modded X_Cans V3 with Silmic, Muse caps and Seimens. The other was a stock unit in my home for about 5 days. I would say the X-Cans were designed with Senn HD-600 in mind and the HD-650. Beyer DT=880 works quite well. Mullards or other tubes may well bring further sonic benefits but be careful here as one set of tubes maybe just right in one system but not work well in another. I suggest a warmer CDP than Rotel. NAD or Marantz are good choices but bec of top end control I'll suggest the NAD 541i at about S$530. After everthing has burned in (approx 300 hours or so), match it with a pair of headphones. The HD650 is a slightly different flavour from the HD600. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2003 Specifically? So does the equinox cable swaps easily on to the HD650? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q00 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2003 naz i read on head-fi that those who have the 650 can easily swap the cables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackie 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 Yeah, I'd like to know if the price premium of 650 over 600 is worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Q00 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 ok i did quite a fair bit of reading at head-fi today and it seems like the clou red cables are a match made in heaven for the phones. Quite a few waxing lyrical about it in this setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rameish 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 If you like the Senn HD-600 and Beyer DT-880 you'll probably like the HD-650. Is it worth it? Well, if you're a "Best Buy" kinda guy then go for the HD-580. If not then the HD-650 is certainly one of the contenders. I kie it but it's sound is differnet from the HD-600. It has more weight, losses the top end brightness of the HD-600, has more legato than the 880, and goes deeper than the 600. My 2¢ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasonhanjk 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 Deeper than 600..... I want.... Too bad HD580 not selling in Singapore. Might have got it for Counter Strike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
