Hello all!
I'm going to Japan this July and was looking to upgrade my gear(s)
Currently my gears are as follow
For portable/ moving around:
IEM: Noble - 6U (older version) (SPC wire)
Trinity - Delta Hybrid (backup)
Player: IPod Classic (5.5 Gen if I'm correct)
Headphone Amp: Electric Avenues - PA2V2
Turntable setup:
Turntable: Audio Technica - AT-LP120 (Using stock cartridge ATN95E)
Speakers: Micca - MB42x
Amplifier : Lepai - LP-2020+
I was looking to upgrade my headphone amps and looked at some models:
Fiio A5
Onkyo HA-200
Sony Pha-1A
Denon D-10
Pioneer XPA-700
As I'm unable to test the other amps in my country other than the Fiio and Sony I was looking to see if you guys could recommend which headphone amp to upgrade to. Most of this are Japanese brands. My budget would be around 170 USD. If I'm getting the Pioneer I would get a second hand set in Japan which would be drastically cheaper than a new one.
However if'm I'm unable to find any amp then I would look at upgrading my turntable setup. At this point of time I'm quite clueless as to which to upgrade or what else I should add to the setup. Budget would be the same which is 170USD.
Do ask me to clarify anything if it could help you help me!
Thanks in advance!
