Okay...today my el cheapo creative labs speakers blew out. Naturally, I can't afford to get new pc speakers at the time, so i decided to plug in my headphone syststem. First, I used the cheapie mini/mini cable that came with the creative labs speakers and plugged it into my airhead (i am between home amps at the moment) Then I plugged in my HD600. Naturally, I was reluctant to defile my HD600's by listening to MP3, but the result was short of amazing. It seriously sounds better than when I had and MG Head DT plugged into my Denon 370. This feeling could just be because i am soooo used to listening to the cheapie pc speakers...or the sound could just be superb, either way, I am satisfied. I was playing red alert 2 this morning, and I heard details from the game which I had never previously heard before. I put my CD's in the cd rom drive, and they sound better than the denon/MG Head system. This is very disturbing, since I've invested sooo much money into this hobby already. Even scarier, Joe Bloggs' philosophy may be correct
I have a MOSFET amp on the way courtesy of thomas, I will see how these two fare out. I think silicone may just be the way to go for me. Perhaps I should save a bunch of money and go with a Creek OBH-11SE... instead of saving for an EarMax...?
