The bottom line recommendation on reference setup?
Need recommendations on high end cans, and maybe a matching amp.
I bought Grado60s for my ipod while I went to listen to some high end cans. Really really liked the GradoGS1000s but they are very pricey, and as I did research on the companion amp, I got rather concerned that I was overpaying a bit, okay maybe a lot. But they sound sooo good.
So, can anyone recommend something that approaches the high end grado GS1000s without the crazy cost?
I've been suggested to consider the AKG K701 or the BeyerDynamic DT880 Pro, but there is no place to try them out. Might one of them be the closest comparison? And of course, what might be a good companion amp suggestion?
Clarity, transparency, etc. are very important to me. I found out I mostly dislike the Senns. uniformly as they seem to color the sound way too much for me. I want something pure and balanced, yet very dynamic. Don't like my carrots to mix with my peas, so to speak.
Recommendations please? Thanks
