Hello. I have the Senn 650 and the original MG Head. Yes, I played with different tubes in the amp. Sources include the Nottingham Spacedeck with Denon 103R for analog, and Jolida jd100 and Ah Tjoeb for digital. On simple music such as acoustic guitars and vocals, the combination is absolutely stunning in the richness and pleasing quality of sound. However, on more complex large scale symphonic material, the sound is kind of dead. I don't have the fine resolution that I'm looking for, and I feel as though the music is somewhat veiled. The large-scale dynamics are also bothersome. During loud passages the volume is there, but control, finesse and articulation are not.
So I'm thinking that it may be time to try a new headphone amp. Max budget is $1000ish new. I'm looking for a SS contender as well as a tubed contender.
Do any of you have any recommendations that you think would fit the bill nicely?
Thank you
