New Head-Fier
Hello everyone, so I have recently came across 2 good endgame deals in the city I am at right now.
1. Sennheiser HD800S + HDV 820 for a combined total of around $2000
2. Hifiman Arya( $1200) and icon audio hp8 MK2( $800).
Now the first person is not willing to sell me the HD800s separately and wants to only give away both headphone and amp together. Which kind of puts my plans in the works as I would have liked to upgrade to a HD800s( I already have HD800 but which I might give to my sister soon) along with the HP8 tube amp.
Now the second person has no issues selling me individually and also I have heard great things about the Arya and some reviews even putting it over the HD800s in terms of certain sound characteristics. I haven't listened to the Arya but might get a chance to test it out before committing. But I am not sure if I should go with the HP8 amp or get a cheaper solid state like a THX one.
TLR- help me decide if I should go with the Arya alone and paid it with a SS/HP8 tube or get the sennheiser headphone/amp combo?
