Greetings   Obviously, from the question I am about to ask am not very technical. But I do like good sound :)   I am about to hook up my Xmas present to myself. A Little Dot MKIII amp and a pair of Sennheiser HD800's. I've noticed from the manual that the Little Dot is also intended as a...

Ya know, I was listening to Porcupine Tree while I was making this thread. As soon as I clicked "submit" I realized I forgot to add it. Good choice!

What album(s) sound incredibly good to you thru headphones?? Let's eliminate the obvious Beatles and Pink Floyd. What album would you throw on to really impress someone. Not like I need more CD's, but I'm looking for suggestions. I'll start: Tower of Power - Back to Oakland, Urban Renewal...

Thanks all! I might go the used route, buy one and if I don't like it flip it. Than again, knowing me, I'll probably keep it. But I already have more phones than I have ears.

Thanks for the help so far. My amp is a Gilmore Lite.

Ok, I've been at this for 2 weeks now. The more research I do the more confused I get. This might make it worse, but here goes. I want to upgrade to one of the above cans, but I can't decide which. At one point I decided to go with the HD650, then I start seeing words like "veiled"...

Thanks again to everyone for all their time and effort. As I say everyday at work, "why is everything so complicated". I keep thinking back to when I bought my system. I asked the salesperson where the headphone jack was. He gave me a condescending look and told me "Sir, with this system you...

Thanks The Stello looks great but it's a bit more than I want to spend. After doing some research I'm looking at the Gilmore Lite or the Woo Audio 3+. Any thoughts? Since my speaker amp is pretty decent, do I have to worry about the pre-amp becoming the weak link in the chain? In other...

Thanks again everyone. Limpidglitch, yes, that is exactly the back of my Rotal CDP. Sounds like RCA is the way to go. Out of curiosity, how will the headphone amp interact with my speaker amp? Does the headphone amp stay turned off when I am using speakers? Or does it need to be on? Cool...

Thanks to everyone for their responses. My Rotel CD player has a "digital output" jack. I assume this is where the headphone amp would plug? Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm not aware of any stores nearby where I can go checkout headphone amps and their means of connection :-) As I...

Sorry if I am posting in the wrong group, but I don't know where else to go for help. I greatly appreciate quality sound, but I don't know much about it technically. I have a decent sound system which I have enjoyed for 15 years, but recently I have begun getting into headphones. I would...
