Hello everybody,
I am new here, have been follwing your forum with great interest for weeks now. Hope I am posting this in the right place.
I have a question for you real experts. Let's say I'd like to put one foot into the first level of audiophilia. This is my situation, I work in a design office (actually my design office) and I have occasionally some time when I can listen to some good music and work at the same time. This would happen exclusively through headphones.
I have already made a choice regarding the cans and I have purchased the Grado SR80i, as I thought (and read) it would be a good choice for a beginner. The problem is that I am totally in the dark regarding the source (CD player) and the headphone amp. Is the dedicated amp necessary. I am inclined towards the yes but, again, I am a rookie here so I am looking for your help/advice.
As you can see the bottom line is confusional. Just to write down the keypoints:
- I listen to jazz, rock-fusion, great rock classics
- I have my music on CD and HD MiniDisc (linear pcm)
- I will listen exclusively from Headphones, in this case Grado SR80i
- I would like to live a great listening experience ))
Thanks for your precious advices
