    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    Finally downloaded a FLAC of Nobuo Uematsu's "The black mages", something I've been enjoying on my 660s2 through a low quality YouTube stream. Just showcases how incredibly immersive this headphone is. I keep praising the staging and imaging and it needs to be repeated. You can follow any one...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    Maybe, maybe not. I bought mine used and am not sure how used they were but I hear the same thing. Surprising they'd be shouty on tubes Listing did say "barely used". I wonder what people think in regards to dynamic driver break in. I've experienced it with my Bifrost 2/64 and perhaps some...

    I've noticed the shout too but only with one specific song in my library featuring a female vocalist. I think they're perfect with the amount of treble energy however. I used to have an Echo and was debating grabbing another but if a cheap Wa6 pops up again I'll grab that instead to save some...

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    I ordered mine from Viva tubes I never got to hear the stock tung sol. I bought a Psvane UK6SN7 and upgraded to the CV-181 which is certainly worth the price over the UK. Bit of warmth, detailed but not too bright. Spacious, holographic

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    From what I've gathered hybrid tube amps won't sound very tubey. That said I put the Psvane CV181-T mk.ii and really enjoy it

    What is a capsule? You mean a driver swap into another headband/earcups?

    Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice

    I'm looking to snatch a Gen 1 off classifieds since they're pretty damn cheap it seems though rare (just missed the two that were posted recently) I've read reports about the Wa6 being quite dark up top and while I would like to tame the treble from my 660s2 just a tad Im mostly wanting those...

    Describing something as neutral just means you're not going to get any coloration from the piece of equipment. It depends on what you're after For example when I had the Bifrost 2 it was a nice warm DAC with my Jot 2. When I added it to my tube amp at the time it was just way too warm for me...

    I'm leaning towards the Wa6 right now. It's pretty cheap on classifieds and should serve as a nice tube amp to get into. If I really spot a difference next to my Lyr+ I'll consider a better upgrade down the line but I'm not looking to spend a ton right now

    Any significant difference between the different generations of the Wa6?

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    I have been looking at tube amps but am not really willing to spend more than around $600 for one right now. I see a couple woo audio wa3 or wa6 in classifieds but am unsure if I'll like the darkened treble I keep hearing about. I have had a Feliks Audio Echo before and kinda wanna snag one...

    Well guys I'm going to say it and I'm going to mean it. The 660s2 are simply one of the best cans I've ever heard. I think they're just about perfect in their tonal presentation, the dynamics are fantastic, the frequency response is excellent and these have some of the best imaging I've ever...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    I did buy them off classifieds but the seller said they were barely used. But yea, first listens are usually what get me because I'm experiencing the the sound for the first time and if I like what I hear it taps into the songs I love to listen to. I have a couple vocal pieces that tend to hit...

    Wish I could. I've had emotional moments with my music in several ways, some headphones just do it better than others
