mulveling Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Would you say it was the source (DAC1 has a reputation of being bright while the G08 has a reputation of being warm and smooth), or would you say it's the amp? It's the amp. I bet the Supra would sound even better out of the G08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just to throw something out there. Has anyone heard the 580/600/650 on a solid state amplifier that sounds half-way decent? I am about at the point where I'd almost say uncategorically that these 'phones need tubes. I loved the 580 on the Beta22! I liked it better than I did from your Single Power! I didn't try the 650's from both though. I agree that the 580/600 are to different from the 650 to make a real comparison. I also agree that the system synergy will matter greatly as to which you may prefer. I also prefer the 580 to the 600, only because the 600 paint job makes me want to hurl.

recstar24 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Even better would be to spend an another $20-30 and get a used HD650. The 650 with stock cable whips the 600 with any cable, IMO. My complaints on the 600 are grain, recessed mids, the low-end, and the high-end. The differences between 580 and 600 are very small, by comparison. I concur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnielee54 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just got an offer of 180 + shipping for 5 year old 600's rated 8/10 on audiogon. Sounds like a good deal to me. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recstar24 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yes that is a terrible idea! It is so bad you can forward me the offer from the user and I will take it off your hands EDIT: I could swear you can get a 650 for not that much more, I knw absorbine has his on sale for 225 i think. I would probably go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
