Kachui 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) New member to the family. It takes forever to burn in and finally it done with some additional secret receipt. This beast took me many days to tame. High is so much smoothen without compromising detail. There's airness in mid. Bass is also tighter and lower. Sweet...... Hey, Ical, you should take a pic of all your woodies together...there are 4 now? Would be nice to see all the different specially treated woods on display...

Eric Chia 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) @Kachui & Eric Did you find the woddified HD650 changing sound signature. The BASS is picking up for some reason. Is it the wood drying with the lacquer? But anyway, I'm happy listening now. To note: I even removed the Z2 just to check if it was just the cable. But the amount of BASS was definitely there even with the Audio Agile cable. It was the Soundstage and the punchy bass missing with the cable change but the quantity is still there. Everything sounds good now from vocal tracks to my Hiphop. With the Z2 + RR-77, I feel I'm listening surround. loL! well my hd650 is now not lacking of bass ...i am quite suprised that my hd650 perform like my Beyers but with more smoother mids and more soundstage it is simply breathtaking, more powerful, energy and smoother to hear i think the woodies need burning lol aside from that, i did compare with the 2 oyaides and blacksand Z1 the Gpx-R is damm solid!!!!! crazy details and more wider soundstage + less brighter than Gpx Limited Ed... when pair with blacksand, i think i in heaven aledi.....perfectly match and very balanced... the `ting` accoustic guitar i only heard in my beyer is showing in my hd650 yeah!!!! my beyer got their mids back!!!! just bout 50 hours burn in for my oyaide another 100 hours to go...

nofing 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 Wow very nice stuff Kachui. Now I know what the bottom rack is for. It seemed a little too low for the amp or cdp. By the way the power cord joining the 1H to the PSU is long enough for the PSU to be placed below? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kachui 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Hi Nofing, yes, the rack is pretty neat...and the cable from the PSU to 1H is more than adequate, in fact I can still move the PSU further away. Edited March 27, 2009 by Kachui Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hellfire112 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 @hellfire112, you need an IC soon Those old Sony cdp can sound really good. Get a good powercord will sound even better. indeed, if my memory serves me right, this cdp was already in my home when i was in pri sch. at least 10yrs of history! it does like to throw temper from time to time thou(totally refusing to read any of my cds late last night and keep rejecting them. lol) my powercord is hardwired to the cdp. what i like about the cdp is it is very simple at the back. the powerchord is hardwired, there is a 110v/220v switch, and just a pair of RCA outputs which writes "Line Out" Simplicity for the win. I do need to find some stands to elevate my millet from my cdp thou. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kachui 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) @ jojo: Yes, that thing is really heavy...and putting the pins onto the plates, man that was hard...need space to do that. Wow...looks like your rig is almost there... ...now perhaps an upgrade of the CDP? Edited March 27, 2009 by Kachui Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
