Since a few days I am the lucky owner of the Sennheiser HD 600. My choice has for a great part been based upon the stuff I read in this forum. I know I am now going to ask a question that has been asked in a zillion ways already. But there is just no meassage threat I can find with a clear answer. So I would appreciate it you can give me your thoughts.
Basically I have an ONKYO stereo receiver and CD-player (and Infinity boxes, but that is not relevant here ). In my opinion both sound great. Nevertheless, no to bother my girlfriend all the time, I decided to also go for good head phones. And here I am.
First of all, I was wondering what is - for a start - better: the phone input of the reciever or the cd-player (can the 300 ohm damages any of the components?). It seems I like the cd-player more, which suprises me because I thought it ought to be the job of the amplifier... Nevertheless, it seems that the liitle headphone input / amplifier on the cd player can do the job (it also has volume adjustment). I only have to "open" it for about 25%.
Another thing is a separate amp. Everybody in this forum seem to agree that this is at least even better than the already good sounding standard inputs on a cdplayer/receiver.... right? OK, if so, what would be a good suggestion for an amp without spending a crazy amount of money. For example; how is the HeadRoom Little? Please give me some suggestion what would be a good amp (price/quality) for the HD 600.
Thanks!
