Hi there,
I want to buy some HD600 along with an amp. I never owned or heard a headphone amp.
I turns out I can have the ASL MG-Head at exactly the same price as the Corda Headamp.
The bundle HD600 + Corda is 550 EUR at meier-audio. The HD600 only is at 240 EUR at meier-audio. The MG-Head is at 310 EUR in a shop in Paris.
Therefore the choice is really about sound quality, synergy and maintenance/upgradibility. I understand the tube amp will require a bit more maintenance (from recent thread) but it allows tube rolling which sounds fun and not too expensive.
The looks go rather for the mg-head. Much more "special"!
I mainly listen to acoustic guitar (nick drake, michael hedges), jazz (coltrane, miles), classic (piano or violin concerts mainly) and jambands (deads, phish), blues. No techno/rap/electronic at all.
Any advice is welcome!
Thx,
P.
