Hi everyone!
I am a newbie to this incredible world of Hi-Fi. First of all, I'd like to say that I never bought any kind of high end audio equipment (except for my Sennheiser IE8), simply because even though I come from a quite wealthy family, I still prefer to do some research before buying something. I must say that I am a total sucker in audio equipment and it's terminology (ask me what's the difference between pre-amp, amp and integrated amp and you'll meet a dead silence in response - so please, be gentle. It's my first time
).
As for the music, my musical tastes span from classical (mostly film music) to R&B. Although, I find myself spending most of the time listening to an Instrumental music.
Now correct me if I am wrong here (sure I am), but as far as I am concerned, the only equipment that I need in order to listen to music are the headphones + amplifier. I don't have an audio digital player, so the only source that I am going to use is my laptop (MSI GX660R). I hope using the laptop won't affect the sound reproduction.
Given that the budget is £17,000 (£5000 for phones and the rest for the amp) I am excited with the choice and yet frustrated.
After spending some time on this board (mainly), I have finally constructed a list of potential equipment and here it is:
Headphone
- Ultrasone Edition 10
- LCD 2
- ATH L3000
- Sony MDR-R10 (Although not sure If it's in production anymore)
- ATH-W5000
- STAX SR-007MK2
Headphone amp
- Apex Pinnacle (quite curious of this one)
- Single Power ES-1
- Ray Samuels Emmeline II, B-52
- Cary Xciter Integrated
- Woo Audio WES
- Ear HP4
- SDS XLR
- Leben CS-300X
I hope that I have come to the right place! What I hope to get from this board, is your personal and professional opinions guys.
So, please feel free to suggest that is on the list + that is not on the list.
p.s. Excuse my odious English guys, not a native speaker.
p.s.s. If you want to pm personally, do it on fb as i am not quite often here http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1397611680
Best regards,
Camile
