I just came back to this hobby after losing touch with my headphone side. I own SR80s, HD555s and various other low-end-unmentionable cans (think Sony
).
So during this time I have been ferociously trying to find my 'sound' and have settled on a vintage el84 stereo amp with huge 60's Fisher speakers. Now I used to own a LDII++ but it started crackling and ultimately failed within 6 months, so I sent it back for a refund. They were very cooperative, FWIW, though. Now for Christmas I had to get an audio gift, so I decided the headbox was a valid option since it isn't expensive. I guess it's better than no headphone jack right? No one has much nice to say about it, but I feel it will suffice for me at this point. I'm going to look into more expensive tube amps when I get my sr325is eventually. Yes I love the upfront Grado sound. Opinions on the Pro-ject?
