Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I had the Monolith THX AAA 887 and it was a joke compared to my Yamaha. I sold it 24 hours after I got it. Anyway, I'm surprised any home theater receiver would sound good out the headphone jack. The ones you want are the late 60's to very early 80's, where the headphone jacks are connected to...- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
My 1975 Yamaha CA-600 amp sounds awesome with my 600's. I don't even need to touch the treble/bass. A Denon audio/video receiver is going to have a junk op amp headphone out. BTW, older cans such as the well regarded 600 ohm AKG Sextett aren't even close to the HD600's.- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Your receiver probably needs to be recapped. My 600's sound awesome on my vintage Yamaha CA-600 and it's not as powerful as the 939. I'm not using stock pads, however. I'm using chinese "knock offs" which are thicker and add more weight to the sound. (Almost like a HD650/HD600 hybrid).- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
I think some of the Sennheiser discontent is due to amp matching...or mismatching. A warmish sounding DAC on top of that is going to give you warmth overload.- Majestyk

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
Are the Hifiman HE6SE's really that bad with the headphone jack on vintage receivers? I have a Yamaha CA-600 and I do not want to use the speaker taps.- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
LOL! Yeah, I've promised myself no more 650's and maybe one more pair of 660's.- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
That's the way I was with the 6XX/650. I had multiple pairs too. I also had multiple pairs of 660s, which I no longer have, but I liked them better than the 650's. I've only had one pair of 600's and I still have them. I think I might try one more pair of 660's since I've made a few changes to...- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
I find the 650's the champion of dull in the 6 line. I don't get any dullness from my 600's. Sometimes I actually find them too bright. I'm thinking about getting another pair of 660's. But I'm not paying fool price for them.- Majestyk

You can get a bit more detail out of them if you remove the 'disc' pads.- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I have a like-hate relationship with the 650's. I like the laid back sound but there is a 'stuffiness' to them that I don't like. They lack the transparency/air/sparkle that the 600's possess. Interestingly, I tried a pair of Chinese pads on my 600's today and they turned them into a 600/650...- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Funny, I find the sound stage on my 600's almost too wide. (The widest of the 6 series) I don't think I would want it to be any wider. Maybe it's my vintage amp, which has a wider soundstage than budget SS amps I've heard. (And yes, I know you're not using a budget SS amp :))- Majestyk

Going to offer this in Canada only to start. I bought these at Amazon.ca for a really good deal just before Black Friday 2020. (Sale only lasted 5 minutes).

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
^ This. The 660S has more air/transparency. It's basically what the 650/6XX should have been.- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Yes, the high impedance of my amp, which has the same impedance as the Emotiva A100 BasX, definitely plays a roll in the increased bass. I have not tried any other amps.- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Yup, on my vintage Yamaha amp I get more bass from the 660S than the 600's and 6XX. Any more bass and I think it would be too much.- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
The 660S were too veiled on my previous vintage receiver, which probably needs servicing. The 650's didn't sound very good on it either. Even though the 660S sound great on my latest amp which has been serviced. I still don't recommend them (or the 650's) for vintage gear made prior to...- Majestyk

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
I just bought my third pair of 660S's. I had a Romania and an Ireland pair earlier this year and didn't like how they sounded on my vintage receiver so I sold them. (I also had eustachian tube dysfunction at the time, so that didn't help). Anyway, a short time ago I bought a 1975 Yamaha CA-600...- Majestyk
