If it sounds right, it's probably fine. I can't imagine any damage beyond a blown fuse would have happened, but even then you'd be able to tell.

I will say that this HeadAmp Gilmore Lite MK2 is making them surprisingly punchy and dynamic, considering their reputation. And treble is more extended than I expected - just could use more presence.

@Stuff Jones some find the KISS find too bright while others find the stock version perfect. I think it's a safer move for massdrop to keep the tuning the same as the original HD650.

I think they did propose but Sennheiser didn't want to mess with their ongoing production line plus their usual "we know it best" attitude. They've had a target FR researched internally for a long time so I can understand not wanting to belittle it. At least all these Japanese hp companies with good tech but bad tuning are seemingly very willing to let the community help out

And pull a reverse Purr1n with the cost of an initial setup going DAC > amp > HPs?!

Doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. Think of it as investing in a source that won't shame downstream components while saving up for headphones that better suits your fancy and, later, an amp to do it justice.

But only if you think/know it'll be something you'll work on down the line.

I have a Modi 3 and Bitfrost 2 on the way. Lets see which I keep. I do like the idea of having one component of a system that gets me ~90% of the way to TOTL - and that can work for HPs and a two channel system both.

Speaking of that, any reason why the Gilmore wouldn't make a decent preamp?

If I was listening at my desk/couch/bed and didn't need isolation and weight is not an issue, open-back HPs anyday over IEMs.

Next foolish help-me-live-my- life question. I've got the GO V2A - should I get the MD Senn 6xx for 220 or the ZMF Aeolus for 1200? Context: I love the JVC FD01 for their tactility, balance and tonal rightiousness.

I might consider the HD-600. If you prefer neutral.

@Kunlun After my first foray into planars I am understanding this more. The HD650 may not have the technicalities of many headphones, but it conveys emotion better than most of them, maybe all of them.

Is this also why vinyl lovers love vinyl?

Vinyl can have great clarity, detail, and separation.

That full stop is epic. It is good you appreciate proper punctuation. Now stop it ;).

How many dimensions does that dot have?

Why not "This space for sale"?

one might think a simple dot (.) might do the trick

I'm a purist though! Let me try a space.

It would require going back in time, to a period roughly nine months before you were born, and, somehow, making sure that your parents did something else.

SBAF is a bit picky with how you're typing it in the address bar for some strange reason. I've only ever experienced that issue with Chrome, but saving my login for https AND http protocol versions of the site fixed it for me, so give that a shot.

Open this address: chrome://net-internals/#hsts

Type "superbestaudiofriends.org" to the "Add HSTS/PKP domain" section, and place a checkmark on "Include subdomains for STS", then click Add. Close browser and see if that fixes it.
