powering 600ohm cans?
Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2016 8:58 pm
Hi all,
Does anyone here have any experience with amplifying 600ohm headphones?
I bought Beyerdynamic's DT880 - 600 ohm version, and went down to a hi fi shop in newtown to try out a few amps in store for them....i tried Schitt, Bryston, etc etc and found all of them to be lacking in both fullness, bass, and volume.
Schitt was also advertised as high power tube amp....
Does anyone know what the hell amplifies 600 ohm cans sufficiently? either brand, topology, whatever it may be....
I'm currently using a 1990s nakamichi hi fi amp, which does an incredible job, but it needs to be turned up to nearly half way to do the trick. This amp is bloody incredible ...for speakers too...and aparently the headamp section is excactly the same but with resistors inline....but im keen to see if there's something better.
