Headphones that make you feel it in the ass!
« on: August 08, 2015, 11:04:44 PM »

Hello

Some have maybe seen that I'm looking for new cans. For past 4 months ive been using LCD-3F coming of LCD-2s and Denon AH-D2000. I wanna get rid of LCD-3F because:
 1. I cant wear them for more then 45min-1 hour before getting ache on top of my head.
 2. I want something different, yet similar sounding.

So I want that crystal clear sound and good bass, tho lower bass isent the most importent, i'm not a basshead even tho I listen to alot of EDM and electronic music.
What I want is a headphone that can deliver that kick drum you feel in your chest with speakers, I belive its around 200Hz with speakers, but I want to feel that in my ear. Great dynamics is also importent.

I know Abyss is suppose to deliver this, but I cant afford that. :D

What would you guys suggest?

Do they make the FA-011 anymore? That had some serious bass impact.

I cede the mike to Ohhgourami....he knows the Krell line up so well that he is on first-name terms with each capacitor, audio transistor, transformer and other electronic components in those amps  :)p13

The cheapest amp, which seems to be the Vanguard, goes for around 2,5k USD used. New I might aswell just buy Abyss :D Oh well... I guess the guy in the store was right, you really do have to pay if you want that bass combined with that crystal clear sound... Rip wallets

How much better is the HE-6 compared to HE-560, and how is HE-560 compared to LCD-3F?
I can get HE-560 for decent price. And then I could get a pretty good amp when I sale my Mjolnir and LCD-3F

I would also say HE-6, although if you have any sort of treble sensitivity issues then Abyss may be worth it for you.

HE-6 is hands down better than HE-560, but then again if you really have treble issues then HE-6 may be out for you.

HE-6 with Rag sounds fine. I got some guys on hf trying out the Xindak PM power amp too. Full 20wpc class A for ~1200 shipped.
