Hey guys, I am back. A few weeks ago I posted a thread about a nice rig under 500 dollars for my dorm room when i go away to college. Well I still haven't made up my mind. I am very ambivolous with my purchases mainly because I dont have a lot of money to spare so I want to choose wisely and correctly.
I am seriously looking into the stax 2050a rig, I think a memeber once mentioned you can find it around 370 online from japan but I lost the site. If anyone can provide that for me it would be fantastic.
I also have considered the senneheiser 580, 600, and 650 headphones + a decent amp. I dont mind going used in order to meet my budget. Then there are a few denon and audioo technica models that come to mind.
Of the cans I mentioned could you please tell me which would be best for my tastes. I like pink floyd, phish, allman brothers, david bowie, neil young, pearl jam, dream theater, rush, yes. Pink Floyd is the band I listen to most by far though. What matters to me is separation, soundstaging, and most importantly and out of the head experience. Unlike what many phones give you. Im not a bass head, I just love clarity, speed, and precision especially regarding bass. I hate muddy bass. For me, that is by far the worst coloration.
I am mainly between the Senns and the stax. Clearly the senns seem more comfortable, but I figure I could replace the pads or something on the stax to make them a little better. The stax seem to be no ********, no frills, stricly performace given there specs and the way they look. I also like the idea of the matching amp included with the stax which would be killing two birds with one stone. Please inform me of the differences between the Senns and Stax phones and which cans would be best for my taste. Thanks!
