Who still has the Sony SA5000? - Page 34

Does anyone know where I can find spare pads for these?

 

Also, do you guys think this can sounds best with SS or tube amps? I read that tube amps help with the brightness, but thought I would check again here. I think tube amps suck for low impedance cans though? I guess it'll suck if/when I get HE400's but whatever

 

I'm looking mainly at the Schiit Valhalla or Lyr

I don't think that spare pads are available anymore, unfortunately. You could try getting a pair of SA3000 pads, which are still made by a third party in China. 

 

I wouldn't get too worried about an amplifier for these. They don't take much power to get going, and their sound really won't change much with various amplifiers. I would get an amplifier that will work now and with other headphone purchases down the road.

I found them changed a lot with amplifier.. i tried them out of a Maverick Audio Tube Magic A1 through an HRT MSII and it was an excellent improvement in overall sound from what I am used to
