Well, here's another guy heading down the slippery slope at Head-Fi. Thanks to what I read here, I picked up a pair of KSC-75's for my iPod (and like them). However, I do a fair bit of travelling on trains and planes (got the automobiles part all figured out already
). I've noticed that I need to crank the volume up too much for my own good (and, judging from the looks I'm getting from others around me, for their comfort, too). So I want to get a pair of canalphones for travel and a set of headphones for my home system (driven by my old faithful Onkyo TX-870 amp). My total budget is in the $300-350 range. Based on other threads here, I'm on the verge of ordering:
- Super.fi 5 Pro's for my unamped iPod (don't want an amp... I already carry way too many things around with me).
- AGK 240's for my home setup (question on whether to go with the M or S, since I'll be using the Onkyo to drive them).
My musical taste is all over the place... I listen to old rock (Stones, etc), blues (Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, etc), Clapton, Steve Earle, The Band, sprinkled with some folk, country, classical. I don't listen to heavy metal, hiphop, rap, electronic... I'm an old guy!
Any feedback (here's one place it's a good thing) or other recommendations would be appreciated.
