Then you simply shouldn't spend a lot of money on higher end headphones.
It's impossible to get high end sound out from any transducer with a mediocre amplifier. This goes for headphones as well as speakers.

At the Florida Mini Meet, I plugged in the K501s to a PRII and they sounded great, then the Mxp3 amp with that Denon table and it was crazy, like a TOTALLY different headphone. I don't know if I'de be willing to venture into having to find something that has to have a crazy amount of power to drive cans that change that dramatically, cause you never know What you'll get with each amp.....screw that mess. Talk about a hassle. It sounded good, but no thanks. |
