HD 800! Failing which, HD 600 would be ok..

I might just do that, hitman!

What model?

It can be powered by an external adaptor!
The power switch has 3 positions: OFF,IN,EXT.
I see a socket marked 5-17VDC.

From the write up:
"If you have AC power available, the HA-3D also takes an external power supply in the range of 5V to 17V"

Guys,
I just found a local supplier for Superlux products.
How many of you is still interested to get one?
Just post your Superlux model/s that you require.
I am not doing any bulk, just to inform him the models and quantities required. Then I'll try make some arrangements..

Are you using a headphone amp to drive?
HD681 is far from laid back, I found it very forward especially the vocals at at times can be a little 'harsh' on midrange especially on those low bit rate mp3s.
I do not use any headphone amp with it.

It all boils down to taste/preferences and how much you're willing to spend..

Happy New Year to you and all Superlux fans

Definitely not cmoy.

I have a cmoy thats why!

My HD681 sounds pretty good direct from my ACER lappy and via the headphone socket of my amplifier. I guess a good hi Q amping would helps.

I am using the HD681 without any amping. Works great with my lappy, iPods, PCDP and MiniDiscs player.

Before running in, midrange and highs are very much forward and harsh.
Once done, terribly great on vocals and depending on source and mixing can be too forward with still slight harshness on highs. Can be tame with little adjustments to your likings with tone or equilizer controls.(thats what they are for!)
Easy to drive hence no amping for my usage.

This is where Superlux shines, the bass department!
I am a basshead, the low end performance is more than acceptable. They're impressive in terms of 'tight' and well controlled bass, as per trio posting
The harshness will surface now and then but that's because the poor source equalization, not Superlux fault

Amping will boost this great sounding Superlux to a higher level on a slight laid back and warm amp. The LittleDot tube headamp came to mind which I used to have to drive my Senn(HD201). Too bad I don't have it anymore..

They're both similar. The only thing that I dislike about 668B is that it's frequency response is kinda 'flat', therefore music seems to lost the 'shine' and sounded a little dull. Can sound recessed at times. Any good beefy headamp might restore the (my) preferred sound.
