I have never listened to the Sennheiser HD600, but there are so many things that can be compared to the HD600, and are compared to the HD600, and sound like the HD600, that I have in fact listened to it, by osmosis. I've become quite good at noticing when there is more, or less, HD600 in a...

My ears have become flaccid.

I get days when everything sounds too harsh. It kicked in last night and it's still going now. Pain in the ass. When I guess that's what is happening, I switch to my most laid-back chain, and if it bothers me then I know for sure. It's not like short-term fatigue, when I simply can't...

These always get stuck in my head after listening to Atom Smasher by Swoon 23: "But your atoms... are atoms... and I'm just another atom to you." Typically enlightening nonsense lol.

I don't know whether anyone else has noticed, but Addicted to Audio is currently flogging the Astell & Kern SR25 for $600. That's pretty cheap for one of these things. About $300 less than usual, it seems. Tempted me for all of an hour, but I'm not paying that for entry-level sound and output...
