In Reply to: RE: Sennheiser HD600 lovers sell me on them instead of NAD Viso HP50's posted by PhilJ on September 20, 2015 at 17:50:28
Those are my two main pair of 'phones.
The Sennheisers are fussy to drive; I have finally settled on a Schiit Valhalla that I'm satisfied with, but I went through a lot of amps. OTL seems the way to go.
The NADs are so much less picky.
But for serious listening sessions, I go with the HD600s, while for daily listening I like the NADs, although they do look funny on the street.
And yes, the mids are great.

it sounds quite good though...
thanks your experience really helps!
I only care to use the HD-600 with the main system. My current fave otherwise is a rather inexpensive headphone with great mids.
If you're happy, why change it?
a my receiver then I will not go that route.The bottom line for me is that I can get a full refund on the Viso and buy the HD600's now instead of buying them in the future and eating the price of the Viso.
Fwiw Stereophile said the HD600 sounds good with a mid price receiver so I am still kicking it around.
Who knows?....

That depends on the receiver. With my Denon 3805, the 600s were clearly underpowered. The sound was quite thin. With my current Denon receiver (x4000), the 600s are listenable and not thin, but I still prefer how they sound with my headphone amp (Burson HA-160).
True. My old NAD 304 really couldn't drive them, not could my Antique Sound Labs amp.
However, my Adcom GFP-555 (original) does a pretty good job.
