    Headphone newbie seeking recommendations

    I think you'll find the 600's won't have the same bass as the 650's, but both are superbly comfy for extended listening. As for speaker comparison. It's kinda apples vs oranges, it's just different, more up close and personal with hp's. I've got the Senn 650 and 800S, the 800's are remarkably...

    The Car Thread.

    Yep. Good to see new teams on the grid, wish them well. Aston and Williams looking like they're have a mare start to the season. Good to see Mercedes and Ferrari back doing well, hope McLaren follow suit. Any team that can stop Verstappen getting another title is good with me :)

    20% off Refurbished Event - Sennheiser

    They're very good prices. If I didn't have three pairs of Senns already I'd be seriously tempted.

    The Car Thread.

    That's why my next used car will be a Hyundai or a Kia, they've kept knobs and switches for regularly used items.

    The A90D is a head-amp only, no DAC. Strange how our ears differ as I much prefer the Marantz DAC to the one in my Wiim Ultra.

    Maybe look at Topping for a straight headphone amp only. I've got the A90D, however, it doesn't sound significantly better than the jack out on my CDP. If you've got the Marantz SA8005 try the hp jack on that first before spending money on a headamp, it's got a fine DAC in it.

    That track and the speed skating rink have been my main interest.

    BT Open reach outside

    Had Gigaclear, Virgin, and BT digging up the pavements three times in as many years to lay fibre. Giga and BT both managed to sever the line to my house. I'm currently getting 70mbps down my copper cable with NOWbroadband, including landline. Can't see the point of fibre for my needs yet.

    Excellent sound quality in a system is enough for most people with neighbours

    I just wait for the neighbours to go out then blast it out :)

    How much benefit will a headphone amp bring

    You can stop it too :)
