    HD600 sounds hefty on the bottom as well with this combo which was a surprise. In a good way.

    HD600 + Piety killed the want for a superamp. I mean I'm still curious to get ears on a SW51+, but not really.

    @Lyander I think you may be right on that. The 600 might be a better gel with the Piety.

    @joch I got to directly compare it against that Studio Jr 300B at a friend's place a while back and while it was a non-contest, I honestly didn't feel like I wanted the SJ as badly as I would have otherwise. The only thing I'm keen to change out now is the Modi 3+ which I really only got as a stopgap to begin with.

    Tempering expectations: the Piety is NOT a giant-killer, but for my preferences and whatnot it's enough to put a smile on my face going through my library.

    Yep I'll stick with HD600 for the next few sessions and do some amp swapping. Been mainly listening to a crack and sw51+

    Looks like you have the value trinity of amps for Senns...and all are difficult to come by. Global geopolitics (SW51+), scarcity (Piety), DIY (Crack).
