hey all, this is my first real post here, seems like a nice forum you have. I'm pretty active on most of the car audio forums on the net, but I've only started getting into headphones pretty recently.
Right now I have a set of Sony V600's and Senn hd595s. I must say the Sonys blow, but I'm very happy with the 595s. The detail and clarity on them is amazing, but they seem too....laid back for a lot of the music I listen to (hard rock, metal, etc). Right now they're unamped, but they're the 50ohm version and they seem to be doing decent off of my computer sound card (chaintech 710). I know that regardless, an amp will really open them up, I'm just wondering if it will really give me the little "piece" I'm missing right now or if I should try out something else, maybe some Grados.
I guess my point is that I'll have the money for both a set of new cans and an amp (I was planning on the supermacro) eventually, but I can only afford one of the two right now, the other will have to wait a month or 2 for my tax refund. Do you think it would be a wiser choice to go with an amp for my 595s now, or maybe get some Grado 225s (or another, recommendations open) instead and wait a month or 2 on an amp?
Thanks for any help
