| Review: Ray Samuels Audio Apache Headphone Amplifier Amplifier Thanks. I'm always happy to hear I'm not just talking to myself. You know, headphone sound has come a long way in the last 9 or 10 years with little increase in cost, when my Sennheiser 600s and a then-current headroom Max were among the best out ... | |

| Review: Ray Samuels Audio Apache Headphone Amplifier Amplifier Yep, I traded my 600s for 650s a few years back.The 650s sound (to me) more directbut not aggressive or punchy.However, I understand some folks like the 600s better,so remember it's just my opinion. | |
| Review: Ray Samuels Audio Apache Headphone Amplifier Amplifier Tough call. The 650s are very good or great on just all recordings I have tried. Smooth, lush, well-balanced.The Grados can be tooraw or aggressive on some recordings, but whenthe recording is right, which is quite frequent, the Grados are just pe... |
