Post Subject: Interested in reading more of your headphone experiencesPosted by SearcherOfBetterSound on: 4/26/2007
Headphones can help people build good cheap systems, and/or also not have to worry about the room, annoying others with loudness. There's some ground to cover that shouldn't be THAT hard or expensive. If you've "given up" on finding good headphone sound, that's ok, I was already able to take in some good information anyways, but keep in mind you're like an "all knowing master" of audio to some. I think overall what's most important to find are the headphones and then the amp and most successful implementation of them you've found. You seem to like the studio type closed headphones I suppose...could a closed Stax be good? have you tried in-ears? some recent/future ones have more drivers now, from Shure, Westone, Ultimate Ears. Hey! Audio-Technica supposedly have a new studio reference called the ATH-M50...compared to your ATH-M40fs, bigger driver (40mm-45mm), decreased frequency response (5-28,000hz-15-28,000hz), lower ohms (60-38)..who knows? might be a reasonable upgrade to your Audio-Technica, if it is better. Just what amps should we be looking at here? There's a bunch of amps mentioned on the ipastudio gallery section. Also I don't remember much expanding on your experiences with your non-portable sources...not all of us can afford such a great CD transport and all that and well..you know. Of course everyone else here should share some of their experiences with headphone setups too if they feel qualified...I might eventually.
