Hi Guys,
I'm in the UK and my current system consists of the following:
Main System - Roksan Caspian M1 Pre / Power Amp, Caspian M1 CDP, Rega Planar 3 TT, Musical Fidelity X-CAN V2 with Grado SR80i headphones.
Portable System - iPod 60gb with Sennnheisser CX300II's
Samsung Laptop with iTunes and Spotify
So here's my question if anyone can help.
I am looking for a second pair of headphones, closed back and ideally ones that do not leak sound...as these will be used with both my ipod and laptop around other people.
Can anyone suggest a good pair of headphones similar in sound to the Grado's but which do not leak noise like a sieve??
I am also looking at adding a Firestone Fubar MkIII DAC/HP Amp to my laptop...which probably become my main source of music for the office and bedroom. this may actually sit between the Laptop and X-CAN for improved sound from the headphones.
Also and finally...I am looking to improve the sound of my iPod with the addition of a portable amp...Suggestions welcome
The new headphones will be used alongside the Grado's and on all the music equipment mentioned.
Musical tastes are varied.....but a lot of female vocal, accoustic, indie and rock
Cheers
Jay
