I´ve been enjoying my HD25-1 II´s for some time now but having read so much about headphones amp´s and how they improve an already excellent sound, I decided to hook up my home theater amp to my pc and then connect the headphones to the amp to see the difference. The sound has become richer while mainting all the detail.... in other words, a more satisfying musical experience. Also, watching movies and trying different settings in the amp has been provided a more cinematic experience, especially compared to my previous headphone. So now I´m finding it difficult to imagine using my HD25´s without an amp.
-My question is.... would I get the same "experience" from a headphone amp? Which amp would you recommend for the HD´s, bearing in mind I wouldn´t want to spend more than what the HD´s cost on an amp. At the moment I have my HT amp on a auxiliary table because of it´s monsterous size and weight, so a smaller device would certainly be welcome.
-Also, I keep hearing about upgrading the cable on the HD25´s to the HD650. Is that easy to do/worth it? Ideally I´d prefer a cable no longer than 1.5/2 meters... is there any cables upgrades that you´d recommend and that aren´t too long?
