yo im new to this, can anyone suggest a setup for 1000$. Open to all suggestions. The only upscale audio tech i own is the hd-555 going strong for 6 years, definitely need an upgrade.
by setup i mean head audio setup for headphones.
Something like Amp/Dac? Which hp's are you buying?
So you don't need speakers at all? Just a dac, amp, and headphones? $1000 for just that leaves you a pretty wide range of options. If you liked your HD 555's than I would suggest the Senn HD 650's ($450), a Little Dot MK IV ($300), and an HRT Music Streamer II usb dac ($150). It should blow your current setup out of the water.
wouldn't the lcd-2's use up pretty much the entire budget?
the tubes can be swapped around. some have different sound characteristics than others. but there are also different types of tubes - power tubes and just regular (?) sound tubes (sorry not sure exactly how to refer to these).
