As I look over my audio gear, just about everything I use or have used has been very very sensitive. Super.fi 5s, UM2's, Sony V6...they are all very low impedance and thus it's noise central with anything but the highest end electronic gear.
Rather than upgrade ALL my gear $$$, I would like to just buy a good attenuator to use in line with all my headphones. I put on a pair of Sennheisers tonight and SILENCE. No annoying background noise, due to the higher resistance. I've determined that it's worth killing a bit of dynamics to be hiss-free. At least until I can afford all new gear.
What are my choices?
