        I was more in agreement with the spirit of @TRex's remark, but, yes, there's also truth in that! Sometimes you don't want to relax, savor the experience. Sometimes, you'd prefer that she just get crankin' on that SOB. ;P

      Literally snapped 650 headband. Gonna try superglue and/or thin metal sheet. Too late for HD6XX drop.

        FWIW, I bought the band Dino linked and it works perfectly. A little less stiff than the original too, which is nice (less pressure).

        While the technicalities of the Jotun are good, there's something special to tubes.

        @thegunner100 So true, so true. Planning to get the Schiit Tube preamp (which I can't remember the name).

        @imackler three-ish. Don't remember - it feels like I've been listening to them for a quite long time haha!

      Got a value balanced cable for 650. The difference is noticeable. Worth $55? Highly subjective, but I say yes. Now, saving up for HE1.

        I vote a nice trip to Kawaii, my favorite Hawaiian island. Most of the Mai Tais I had were wimpy, but the beaches were amazing. If you don't like beaches, I second @MoatsArt and recommend getting an instrument.

      Listening to Michael Buble live on Apple Music Fest 2016. 650 Dyna+Jotun. The vocal... oh God. It scares all God.

      Less time checking the forum lately due to procrastination - yes, Jotun/650 combo it is.

        I watch that thread actually. No, I'm not planning to upgrade so far. The price difference between Jotun & big boy amps is big - Jotun performs way above its price. My next fund will go towards Pro-Ject Carbon DC (damn that vinyl thread).

      Plugged Jotun in, connected HD650M, warmed up, played some music.... HOLY MOLY DOUBLE SH*T! Au revoir HD800.

        I hate to admit that my HD800 has been relegated mostly to test a new song/album with scrutiny. After that initial listening, switching back to HD650 to *truly* enjoying the music... I feel bad.

        I agree l. Tulus' new album, Monokrom, shows pluses/minuses of 6X0 & 800. While 6X0 is fun w/ Jotun (forward, punchy, gritty), the background orchestra can't even hold a candle compared to 800 w/ Valhalla 2.

      Surprisingly,650M soundstage isn't that small vs 800X. My complain, though, is 650 smears background vocals.

        You can blame me for the HD650M. I was the one who started calling it that in the appreciation thread. It just indicated that you have fully modified the HD650 with the foam, Dynamat, and quarter changes. Sorry for triggering you.

        @zerodeefex because Maxi is better than S, and X is cool for everything. Okay, X is referring to SBAF + upside down SDR.

        As soon as they're officially back in stock, I'm going to re-order one. I canceled my order because I hate waiting, and I have to buy a new refrigerator this weekend.

      The fact that Jotun has been outofstock since last week-til the end of next week-isn't reflected on product page is personally disappointing
