Senny HD650 unamped here (OMG OMG OMG! what a waste!)

Oh well, i'm still waiting for my PPAV2 tongue.gif

which requires a whole new circuit.
whoever said that the PPA v2 is overbright and harsh and piercing didn't swap them default transistors for all i care. it's now smoother than a hybrid tube!

yeah, the thing that you see inside the drawer is a PPAv2. i have a bad habit of dissasembling things after a while. esp after listening to a better setup. sweat.gif

doctor do u listen the little dot3 b4 with philips hp1000?
hw this ppav2 compare with little dot 3
plan to update my amp
any idea with done a great job pair with hp1000

nope. but Categg (i think) mentioned that the LD3 is a whole lot better than the SOHA. and judging that i didn't class the PPAv2 as far better than the SOHA, so theoritically, the LD3 is -maybe-medium-far- better than the PPAv2.

it's like this, in simpler English :
LD3 to SOHA -> LD3 far better (he said that SOHA is way behind).
PPAv2 to SOHA -> SOHA a lil bit behind (not far better, at least i class it as not far better).
so that should put :
LD3 ------------------------------- PPA v2 --- SOHA.
LD3 ----------far better----------- PPAv2 -little/not-far-better- SOHA.
see the length of LD3 and SOHA? yeah, way behind.

^ and i have no idea what type of amp should compliment the HP-1000. i myself never heard the HP-1000 nor the LD3, let alone to make suggestions for it. whistling.gif
and thus you could ignore my comments above. tongue.gif

and no, it's not Categg personally. because chernloon tells me that, saying that Categg says that. so it's more like Categg mentioned that to chernloon who in turns mentioned to me.

like everything else in Audio, it's subjective. you might not like the sound of HP-1000 and says that it sucks, or you might find it better and says that it's godly and was sent from heaven and that it beats the *cough*HD650*cough*.

Heh doc, getting sarcastic aren't you? Let me offer my 2 cents again to clear things up.

I say the LD3 is a good match with the HD650 coz it was originally tweaked using the  HD650. Other people don't nessacary think so eg. someone's AKG K701 don't really match it well..

Compared with SOHA, the tubey flavour of the LD3 stands out more. Doesn't mean that SOHA isn't good, just that it sounds not so exciting to my ears. Where the LD3 excells in flavour the SOHA stands out in being more neutral and cleaner (noise floor). I've listened to both and i say i can live with either one. Boils down to what you want and what equipment you gonna pair with it at the end of the day.

I've never heard of the PPAv2 yet but i'm willing to believe that it's a class above the LD3 and SOHA. But then again it isn't really fair comparing solid state to tubes no?

Hope this helps  wink.gif

doh.. never knew that the SOHA aren't really that far behind the LD3. sorry for the sarcastic comments, can't really get my mind off seeing Japan losing to Australia. in 6 minutes! doh.gif rclxub.gif :craps:
guess i'll take a short nap now before someone slaps me. sweat.gif

and yes, the PPAv2 shouldn't be compared to both. they have different flavors altogether. different strongpoints, and different sound. just like the HP-1000 and HD650. darn, i just did it again. doh.gif

LOL NO, come up to the level of the HD650s, AKG701s, DT880s, RS2s fer major sonique overload tongue.gif, you'll thank me after you get one of those cans laugh.gif

Once you're done with that, electrostatic is the only way to go!

does that means the ladder is
650 < 701 < 880 < RS2
-or-
650 > 701 > 880 > RS2?
