The Headphones: Sennheiser HD-600 DON'T DO LOW BASS!
I have some cheaper headphones that DO bass; maybe, it is the lower impedance of the headphones, I don't know.
The turntable setup is probably not the most resolving in the bass area, though. As suggested, it could be MANY or ALL things.
I'm discovering that after seeking a good mid-range and silky highs, I also want nice low frequencies, or, at least be able to follow a good bass line.

If you're used to listening to actual speakers in a room, I don't know how any headphone can do comparably deep bass, since the wavelengths of those frequencies are much too long to be reproduced in the space between a headphone diaphragm and your ears.
"the wavelengths of those frequencies are much too long to be reproduced in the space between a headphone diaphragm and your ears"I've seen this argument used with bass reproduction in small rooms too, but I think the logic is flawed. If a given frequency's wavelength needed it's full "extension" to be heard by ear, then headphones / earbuds wouldn't create any low-midrange or bass frequencies at all.
At least that's how it works in my head?

most headphone amps do not have the current delivery to properly drive HD600s or any other high impedance phone for that matter.
Need an amp that will do 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, to get even close.
