Ok, I probably shouldnt be writing this, since the cans haven't played more than 40 hours tops. But i'm running these babies straight out of the headphone jack on my marantz player, which i suspect only has a bit reduction function, instead of a pot. I feel that the cans can do much better than this, and that they are being held back by the jack. (The bass just aint right yet, detailed, but without the slam that i remember.) The treble is slowly starting to calm down, this has happened since i first listened to them, when they almost had'nt been used.
- The grado amp looks tempting, allthough I won't have a chance to listen to this one before august 24. (A local hifishop opens then
)
- Could the CHA-47 compete with the grado, and are there many versions that can be made out of this construction? (Tweaking by using better pots, etc.) I'm a guy with no clue about DIY, and my hands apparently consist of ten thumbs, so I would have to pay someone to build me one. Who is the right man to do this?
- Are there any other amps worth checking out that would be "perfect" (for the price, that is, around 3-400 buckaroos) for the RS-1's?
I listen a lot to classic rock, jazz, and (decent) pop. Almost never classical music.
