Hi guys,
I'm a musician cum music lover from Singapore...my name's Sid....I'm from Singapore...
till date, Ive been listenting to most of my music on my ipod....basically....
Ipod -> Ultimate Ears (i believe its something.3...pardon my ignorance)
I wanna really updrage my setup.....I'm OK with my current in-ear ear-phones....I wanna get maybe an amp and headphones(senn hd series?) now!
So basically what I'm looking at:
(1) Budget of maybe 500 USD(flexible on this, I can spend more if I'm gonna get a significantly better setup)
(2) headphones ....I listen to everything from rock(led zep,porcupine tree etc) to jazz(chick corea etc) to metal(opeth,megadeth) to progressive(tool) to classical(chopin,debussy,haydn)
(3) amp.....not too big
I need a setup thats PORTABLE...cos I do most of my listening on my way to work and back.....standing in the train.
I've read some stuff here....read about getting better cables and a DAC etc....
If anyone could recommend threads to look at or give their suggestions , I'd me much obliged...
I got a list of amps to look at from Jaben....
Tomahawk
Humet
Predator
AE-2
Some headphones recommended were
Audio-technica(forgot the name BUT it had the wooder finish)
Beyer
Senn
I initially wanted to order a total bithead but they dont ship to Singapore
Appreciate the help
Cheers
Sid
