Hello everyone,
I've been reading the head-fi forum for a while but it's the first time i decide to ask your help. As the title indicates i am in search of an amplifier suitable for the he 5le headphones.
I have read many threads about the specific subject and many opinions already discussed but i have some questions to make now that my time has come to buy one amp.
To inform you about my old rig:
- SOURCE: PC -> SUPER PRO audio dac
- HEAD AMP: T-100MKII
- HP: AKG K701
To inform you about the music i listen to:
Mostly blues genres, blues rock and a little bit of classic rock and hip hop. I miss the bass the akg's lack in but i live the mids in the music i listen to. Sometimes i tend to listen at high volumes, so i want the amplifier capable of doing that. In general i hope to achieve a better listening experience after using my old rig for 4,5 years.
I am a little bit confused with all the threads in here about the hifiman hp. Some users say that an integrated amp is the best solution while some others believe that a hp amplifier is all you need. I need your help because in my country i cannot test any of the devices i want to buy. The budget i can afford is about 700 euros or 1000 us dollars max (icluding shipping costs). If i find an amp suitable, but in a lower price range i will definetely select this option.
It would be very helpful if the owners of the headphones mentioned above expressed their opinion on the dilema. If i buy an integrated amp in the end, will i have any problems destroying the headphones ???
I' ve read a thread about this amp: http://www.sacthailand.com/Amp2010MinuteEL34.html and i would like to know if anyone bought this amplifier and how did it match the hifiman headphones. Is the seller reliable too ?
Thanks in advance............
