Pink Floyd and Weed

Hi,
Through my main speakers I hear all the bass, so I think my PC is fine. I built the PC myself and have it connected to my system via USB and am very happy with the SQ. After digesting some of the feedback I have received, I am beginning to think the problem may be with the headphone amp??

Thinking my lack of bass issue may be due to my current headphone amp, I am wondering if anyone could suggest an amp that works well with Sennheiser HD600 headphones? I am thinking maybe even tubes?

I would appreciate your suggestions, something around the $1500 range or less.

Thanks!

I have Sen 650's....they are very much like the 600's.   I can tell you the highs and lows are truncated, but the mids are very nice.

stringreen, thanks! I did not consider a different set of phones, I tried a friends set of Cardas in-ear phones and there was more bass but they did not have near the clarity of my HD600's.

So, what this tells me is exactly what you observed, at the extremes, (mostly the bass) the HD600's truncate. I really like the sound of them, but am left wondering if there is a more full range option that can still hold on to that clarity/airiness that the Sennheiser's  possess while producing that wanted bass? I am concerned it may be cost prohibitive to best the HD600's. Thanks again!  

@grm -- I bought a Quicksilver Audio headphone amp a few months ago. I have the Senn HDXX (same as 650 and somewhat similar to your 600), Focal Clear and Hifiman Arya. The QS amp was a night and day difference. If you read my other threads, bass is one area where I saw the most noticeable improvement. It is an amazing amp!!!

As for your 600s, all I can say is that although my other two headphones are much more expensive than my HDXX, the Senn punches way above its price point, and definitely scales with better amplification. Try it with the Quicksilver amp, I think you will be pleasantly surprised what the 600s are capable of.
