While I don't have first hand experience with the 598, I do happen to run a Crack (w/ Speedball upgrade). My main listening headphones are HD600 which the Crack drives effortlessly (and sounds great too). I also have a pair of Mr Speakers modded Fostex T50Rp, with an impedance of about 53ohms - close to that of the 598's 50ohms.

Hey.So I've been looking forward to stepping my game up, and after a month of research, I found that the 650's are exactly what I want.However I'm struggling with the selection of a tube amp to drive them before I order them.I have always thought that I preferred bright sound, by recently I've wanted to try the warm sound of a tube amp.I'm looking for a neutral but fun to listen sound. Prioritizing fun over clarity. I'm not looking for an analytic soundI've heard they are both great, but I would like to hear everyone's opinion on both of 'em or how do they pair with the 650'sOne pretty big point to consider is that the Crack is currently on a pretty decent sale. Meaning that I could get the Crack + Speedball for the same price than the Valhalla 2.Thanks again every one:). I just built the Crack 1.1 and giving it due time before upgrading to enjoy the differences. I finished it last weekend and I didn't have one issue. I can tell you that the build process was truly enjoyable in and above itself.
The instructions are superb. It looks far harder than it is.All I know is that HD6X0 is synonymous with Bottlehead Crack Speedball combo.
Ishqaa full movie hindi download 480p pc. Do what's tried and true:O. I've read more than my fair share of comparisons on the two. It's a no brainer from what I've gathered. From 's post:Worth pursuing if you want a warm, dynamic, bassy, and fun sound that will give you shits-and-giggles.
Pop in a Tung Sol 5998, a fairly neutral 12AU7 tube, good quality output caps, a PSU choke, and a better volume pot, and it's competitive and worth considering over some amps on this list. Once you 'max' it out with mods, it only really suffers from a close-up small stage, lack of bass definition and tautness, and lack of ultimate resolution. Fully pimped out, the Crack is worth consideration over the Elise, MicroZOTL, Lyr 2, Valhalla 2.It rules.Speedball is kind of a must-have for the crack.The Valhalla is way more neutral than the Crack, it has that tubey sound but it's not as warm, sluggish and yeah, tubey, as the Crack.I think it depends on what you want, the more tubey amp is the Crack and if you like it then go for it. But beware that it has an output impedance of like 100 ohms which means that your headphones should be at least 250 ohms, the 650 will be fine ofc.Do some research on other websites like superbestaudiofriends.com or other subs. You sound exactly like myself just a few weeks ago. I thought I wanted neutral and super detail oriented.

Then, I returned my 600's for 650's. I knew I wasn't doing them justice with the 2i2 I was running it with. I considered many options. Schitt Stack. And I kept hearing Crack.
Crack Crack.I'm glad I listened ultimately. I'm running it with a Modi 2 Uber at the moment in it's stock form. Another great feature of the Crack is that it's highly moddible and will grow with you.This is a great combo; tried and true. And I haven't even gotten to the good part yet: Speedball:D. I should have been clearer, sorry about that.A high audio impedance impacts the sound that your headphones will output.

A big part of the crack sound comes from its output impedance. Most modern amplifiers/electronic devices aim for very low output impedance, often. For the next three weeks I have the HD650, then I'm going back to my HD600.I use the original Modi/Magni stack, which is a bit too powerful for the HD650. I wish I had a gain switch, which they introduced in the Modi2/Magni2. It was a perfect match for the T50RP, but I gave them to a good, broke friend of mine.If my Magni breaks down one day (which will never happen), I'd probably replace it with a Vali 2, since the pairing is very popular over at SBAF, and the Canadian dollar isn't what it used to be. Tube rolling would also be cheap as chips, since you only have to grab one at a time.
Reference tube is clean, so you can add distortion with later tubes.I do prefer the HD600 over the HD650 though, so we might simply be looking for something different from our gear. Good luck in your search!EDIT: measurements for the Valhalla 2:.
