What is the best (suited) amp for the HD650?
Or perhaps, what are the best amps, at different price brackets? I have a Neco 9v V1 AD8066 with bass boost and V2 8610 (I think I got the opamps right). Also I have a MF V Can (stock). While I find that overall the Neco V2 is more involving, I generally find the V Can more suited to the laid back nature of the Senn with it's "not subtle enough for TWhat Hi Fi's tastes" sound. Please comment guys! Thanks |

It needs to be powerful, bright, accurate and stable. Most people I would imagine go for a Graham Slee Solo.
This is what Sennheiser used to demo them with!

Yep, the Graham Slee Solo is an obvious amp to partner with the Sennheiser HD650. The Solo's upfront, sparkly presentation brings the HD650 to life very nicely. A better choice than the warmer Lehmann Audio amps for this headphone in my opinion.

Hello all!
I posted these comments elsewhere a moment ago whilst looking at recommendations for head-amps to go with my HD650s: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/foru....html#post1844 Then I spotted "Shaun G" had responded to this particular post, and recalled he's one of the owner/directors ... so I thought I'd re-post it here, hoping he'd take the time to address the last point, as eMail and feedback forms have proven somewhat fruitless! Here's hoping ... |
