Im sure this has been done to death but I'm going to do it again.
I have an iRiver Ihp-120 (and love it) and Grado SR 60s, but I have the upgrade itch. I really feel the need to expand the soundstage, I'm tired of the "blobs in the head".
So, here is what I am thinking: Senn 580s with a good portable amp: Gilmore lite or Larocco Pocket reference.
I can only afford one upgrade at a time, and don't really want to go over $350 on an amp and sub $200 on the cans.
So here is the question: what do do first? Will my invisioned upgrades give me results that will expand the soundstage and outperfornm the Grados alone? Are the 580s (or 600s if you insist) really worth investing in if I am happy with my SR 60s?
Thanks for your suggestions.
