VALIENTE
1000+ Head-Fier
Hello everybody! Nice being here.
I am planning to buy another set of headphones.
Currently, I am using a GRADO SR 60 with my Sony Portable Discman. Sounds so good. My PA2V2 head amp, my first head amp is coming this month to be paired with the SR60, as most you have recommended.
I have no regrets of buying SR60, that is really an entry way to audiophile world.
Based on what I've read from the Headphone.com, AKG K701 is still one of their best headphones- in fact always in the top ten list. Here in our place it cost estimate $300 only. But I don't have a desktop amp yet, but for sure in the future I will be able to buy. As most of you said, one tip, buy the best headphone first, then the amp will just follow.
But I have read good reviews about Denon D5000. Its not on the top 10 best of headphone.com but it is also one of their favorites in the extreme high end headphone. It costs around $400 here in our place. A $100 difference in the AKG K701. But I've read that D5000 headphones can run well even without headphone amps or just simple amps. So I think that I will be happy with these paired with my Sony discman or better with the PA2V2. But the only problem is it is $100 higher than the all time favorite AKG K701.
This is where my confusion is.
Guys here please give me a practical advice. Take note I want more bang for the money that I will spend.
Which should I buy the AKG K701 or the DENON D5000?
Note: I want a headphone that could play almost all kinds of music.
The Grados are perfect for rock but with other types of music, they lost.
