Hi everyone,
I just replaced my HD590 with HD650 and I'm really excited about their sound. But I'm wondering what would be the best way to improve it? They should be quite well burnt in, as I bought them used. The seller said they haven't been used very much, but I don't know if he tells the truth or not, but atleast they aren't completly out of the box.
I have a great stereo set for loudspeakers. Arcam FMJ A32 integrated amp and FMJ CD33 CD-player. But how good is the headphone output of the A32? The specs say 100ohm, which sounds a bit high for Sennheiser's 300ohm. How much do I have to pay for an amp to get a significant improvement? I still would like a headphone amp, because I use the phones in a different room. I will still use the CD-player for a source though.
I'm considering buying a Musical Fidelity X-CAN V3, possibly with the X-PSU V3 power supply unit, as I plan to buy the X-DAC later too. And I have been looking at the Cardass replacement cable for 250€ in my local Hifi-store. Are these a good combination? There is not many headphone amps around here to test in stores near where I live, not to mention replacement cords, so that's why I'm asking you guys. So if you have any other suggestions in the same prize class or maybe slightly higher(I'm prepared to pay for quality), please tell me, and if you could include an url to a store in the internet that sells those, that would be great.
My music preferences are mixed, but my favorite music is rock and heavy metal. I generally like clear and detailed sound, which the Arcam CD-player does offer.
