100+ Head-Fier
Hi All,
I have been a bit of a lurker on this site for a while, but have taken a lot of what has been said as good advice. (I ended up getting a nice Meta42 for my IPOD as a first introduction to Headphone amps, but am in the market for an SR-71 ... any sellers out there?).
However, I would like some advice on improving the sound for my home system.
I have a Sound Odyssey Level-1 Shanling CD-T100, running with WE396A tubes and I have been pleased with the sound from the headphone output. However, I was wondering what I would need to move up to the next level in sound quality. I am currently using HD650's and really like these headphones.
Would a mid price amp be sufficient (MPX3 ?)to see a great improvement or do I need to spend a little more?
I have taken a liking to the tube sound, but I am not adverse to solid state.
thanks in advance
