Headphoneus Supremus
I just got a Gilmore Lite but I find it too bright. (I generally find everything too bright, the Sony CD3k were to bright for me as well as the Ultrasone 700). And it's not the source because when I use my cdp's headphone out it doesn't sound bright at all (although it lacks dynamics, bass and soundstage compared to the Gilmore Lite)
So I figured that I should give tube amps a try...
Currently I'm leaning towards the Fisher 400 since it can also be used as a receiver and because it's rather cheap (maybe 200$ for the unit and another 100$ for restoration, which is still cheaper than a Singlepower e.g.). Any objections?
And has anyone compared it against dedicated tube amps?
Or maybe some darker-sounding solid states? But I am really curious about the sweet midrage tube amps produce, should sound great with jazz and classical music.
Headphones will be a Sennheiser Hd650 or a Beyerdynamic 880 (still haven't decided on that yet).
Thanks
