Headphoneus Supremus
OK guys - these are just my opinion .
I started at headfi last january 2003 .
been talking to a lot of people to get tips on how to go about this hobby . one conversation with tigger gave me a good lesson - the only way to know the right gear is to try it out and hear it.
after a lot of headphones( [size=xx-small]senn hd575, sony v6, akg k501, beyer 770pro, w1000, cd3000 , grado HP-1[/size] ) and amps([size=xx-small]cmoy, meta42, gilmoreV2, melos sha-1[/size] )
I think im finally done .
It would be the melos SHA-1 and the HP-1 in the end.(although ill also keep the cd3000)
I got lucky and was able to buy and own a grado HP-1. i recently sold my vehicle as i am not using it anymore and in the process after i got paid - i had some spare money and took the dive to get the grado HP-1.
i was really not thinking of keeping this one - i was only to try it out and sell it later .
Of all the headphones i owned - the HP-1 seem to sound right on every cd i throw at it . the most noticeable traits are the
--vocals which sound so real like coming from a room where the person is singing.
--the detail is superb, i hear a lot on these cans that you wont normally hear on others
--very accurate sound
--everything (low , mid , highs)seem so natural and without color
--soundstage is tremendous but i feel the cd3000 has a wider stage but the HP-1 has a deeper and higher .
-- the bass is tight and fast which i would describe just about the right amount . the cd3000 again has more extension but a bit looser.
now i have changed my mind- i wont let this one go unless i have an emergency and needed the money.
my 2nd favorite cans are the sony cd3000 and i dont think ill let go of it either coz they are so much fun to listen to.
as they say about cars - there are the luxury cars(HP-1) like the lexus - they ride smooth and refined , but there is also the miata(cd3000) which is so small and cheaper but it is fun to drive.
tnx to all the peeps who helped and gave me advice.
i dont think i can upgrade anymore for now coz to upgrade from what i have right now - would be very expensive i think.
BTW i am not done with my source - i have a rega planet 2000 coming (currently using a sony sacd/redbook player) and i hope it do justice the melos and the HP-1 .
