Hi all ... I'm an audio nut who until I found this place, didn't have a clue about the whole headphone side of things. For about the last 2 years I've been running a pair of Sennheiser HD445's of my pc soundcard here in the office, it's decent but nothing spectacular. I want more!!!
I can do pretty much anything in my office, within reason ... So I was hoping for some guidance. What should I do for the absolute best sound under $300? I don't mind buying stuff used, or shopping for deals. Actually, the main question I have is should I get a portable cd player and an amp, or would I get better sound from a good single cd home player? I could probably pickup a good used Adcom or Marantz player off Ebay for $75. Would that sound better than say a Sony D-25 and a CHA-47? Portability isn't an issue, it's going to live in my office. I just want great sound.
Figure I'll get either a Grado SR125 or 225 for my phones. Although I like the AKG 501 and Sennheiser HD 580's too ... I guess it just depends on which one I can get the best deal on.
