Ok, so my budget is about $250-300 but that's solid at $300, I can't go over that, unless it's less than $10.
So, right now I'm thinking of picking up the Corda HA-1 due to Kelly's review as well as the fact that it can be upgraded (providing I can find someone willing to) in the future to a Corda Blue.
My other ideas were as follows:
Gilmore Lite - the V2 looks incredible but I simply can't afford it at all and since the V2 seems to be well-liked, I'd imagine the Lite would follow in its footsteps. Although, I haven't heard much on how different it sounds from the V2 in terms of the difference of the power supply.
Pimeta (Headsave SL?) - looks nice but seems like a cheaper version of the classic, which I'm uncertain of the differences of.
Headroom's Little - looks nice but seemingly sounds 'grainy' without upgrades.
Ideally I'd like something with a very clear (articulate, if you will) sound that has a smooth sound to it. I don't really like much coloration. I was thinking the Corda would be good because I could utilitze the crossfeed selections to make it a bit more smooth.
Thanks everyone. I've been researching since my last post and hope to get a larger amount of responses this time.
By the way, this is all for my Christmas present this year, so please don't include 'used' options unless they're foreseeably available around Christmas.
Edit: I listen to a wide variety of stuff, for what that's worth.
I listen to plenty of newer 'rock' as well as some acoustic. I also listen to some ska, even some artists who have female vocals.
Again; thanks!
