Hello.
Well.. I was quite satisfied with my crappy old audio system until last week. =) But after listening to X-Cans + HD600 at my friend's house I really wanted a kick-ass headphone system.
I have a friend coming from Japan around Christmas and asked him for CD3000 because this might be the one that can fulfill my musical preferences, besides buying it from Japan would have quite a bit of advantage in terms of price.
As part of system upgrading, I am thinking of buying a new Arcam Alpha 9 or Diva 92 or FMJ 23. I haven't made up my mind yet. But for sure, I like Arcam sound. =)
Finally, my question. I'm looking for a headphone amp that is about "Mid-Class", up to about "$600". I guess that Earmax Pro, Headmaster, and Headroom Home make that price range. Also I heard about Corda a lot and I'm wondering if Corda is any close to the amps that I mentioned. I listen mostly to Classic (let say 70%), and pop, rock. And if everything goes well, I am thinking to get HD600 and RS-1 along the way, so I hope to get an amp that can drive all of them. I would really appreciate your advices. Thank you.
