You can find Sennheiser HD600,s for as low as $299.00. I just purchased Sennheiser HD580's for $169.00 from Music Direct. They sound almost as nice as HD600,s. Web address, amusicdirect.com

Somewhat agressive, but that can be overcome with flat pads for $30. The Senns have a darker sound. More nuetral - somewhat veiled detail. That can be overcome by getting the right amp, replacing the cable, etc. Best piano reproduction headphone I've heard. Better soundstage.

Any recommendations on amps and cables, especially cables Cardas, Moon Audio, Headphile, others?
