David, I've looked into it before. I've downloaded some samples in the past but the selection is very slim for me. I don't feel like paying for them if I don't enjoy them either.

In all honesty, the HD600 driven by BROCKSIEPER EARMAX with Telefunken tubes are still the warmest memories from the 30 years of being involved in high end audio. Those late night listening sessions were just magic. Pure musical nirvana. The HD600 are like an old friend to me, I could never part with them for that reason. They deserve a Triode OTL of their own. |

Stephen, I find the HD600 very euphonic and romantic sounding. They are far from NEUTRAL but are very ORGANIC. They do no wrong and that is the best part. Very forgiving of BAD recordings. It's the type of a headphone that one can easily enjoy WHATEVER music genre you are in the mood for. They are 300 ohms and somewhere in the 95dB/mW efficiency range, so as forgiving as they are, one does not know their TRUE qualities unless the partnering amp can drive them properly. Like I mentioned, a TRIODE OTL to my ears with HD600 is sonic heaven. Love them. For $286 on Amazon, these days, they are a true bargain.

In a way, the HD600s remind me of the orginal Large Advent loudspeaker. Not the most transparent, not the most resolving or best imaging speaker, but they sure made music!
