Rameish 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Haven't updated my profile for sometime. Some I have/still own some were loned to me by the Beyer distributors in Singpoare. Some were left in my home for months by fellow SG headphone Members (HD-600), some for a few days AT-W1000 and Sony 3000), Some for a few weeks (HD-660 with Cardas cable). I don't know why but people seem to leave me things to listen to (hey, I'm not complaining you know). Recently I had a Micro Zotl for about 10 days as well (nice amp). Sorry I had the names of the members, but maybe it ain't such a good idea to broadcast who has what of the member formerly known as Guyferd may decide to pull a heist LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Antique SoundLab - look under headphone listening devices. The MG Head OTL partenered with the HD600 sounds great add an upgrade cable & some tuberolling magical! The DT880 should fare well given it drives the HD600 with plenty of reserve on tap.

adhoc 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 hrmm i'll wait till the next meet to decide once and for all whether i prefer the tube or SS sound. till then.. still saving! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2003 Adhoc, don't get caught up with topology - if it sounds good, it is good. There are many tube amps that sound bad as well. And there are thouse that sound good. Likewise for SS. Use your ears to find the truth and not what you read. Reading is - at best - knowing. Listening is experiencing. So I can describe to you the texture of a leaf, it's thickness etc. But until you touch it for yourself, you'll never experience the texture of the leaf.

Rameish 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2003 Reading is good - but it only helps you to make a short list. Buying based on that is a no no (unless you have no choice). So attend SG Heaphone Meets - listen. Scratch a few off the list. Then beg the owners of the amps you like to allow you the privelige to go down to their homes to give them another listen. Then, and only then, make a purchase decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
