You should use a power amp to get the best out of the he500

You should use a tube amp to get the best out of the he500

First for superlux cans
>Actual base, and the base is very good, clean, pronounced sub base
>Mids are much cleaner than 668b's, slightly more pronounced
>Highs are cleaner, more accurate with less distortion than 668b's
>Higher impedance, so you will need an amp
>More comfortable design, slightly more realistic soundstage
>Comparable to beyerdynamics in design, but sound like their own unique cans

I don't get why these aren't their most popular cans, these and the 660s are superb for the price

Forgot the pic

Well I mean yeah a tube amp would be a nice thing to own but I don't have any plans for one at the moment. Right now I'm planning to replace my magni 3 and modi with a THX AAA linear amp/dac and then sell my unused headphones.
Moving soon so I'm gonna grab some JBL LSR305's probably

I like your set up, really sick amp and desk. I've been dying to hear the dt1990 but I haven't got the chance. I'd like to compare them to the t1 2nd gen and dt880 600ohm. I've heard people say the dt880 is the best of the bunch but at the same time I haven't come across an instance of someone not liking the dt1990 either.

Nice.
Which model is that?

Why did you do that to the cable? That looks terrible.

It was way too long and now it's not!
