Hey all!!! I am fairly new here, so I guess hello is a good place to start!
I'm picking up a set of used Senn HD580s next week...little Christmas present to myself. Here they are, a fresh picture from the seller. They do come with the cables, though they weren't attached at photo time.
I've also gotten myself in line for a Bottlehead Crack Tube amp for these headphones...to me, in my limited $$ world, I cannot see myself in a better situation for sweet tunes...! Both Amp and Headphones put me back less than $350 total...I would like some advice going forward however...
Source is my main concern. I don't have much else than a portable CD player or my iPhone 3GS at the moment. I already know through experience that the iPhone gives off some crappy playback...even at loss-less. I can hear the digital artifacts through my Shure E3's...I know that won't get better with more transparency in my system.
Any advice in Source is welcomed...I'm keeping on a tight budget though...so keep it under $500. LOL
Also, Cables! I see a lot said about headphone cables, etc...
And lastly, mods to these headphones? I don't think they probably need any judging by the photos...but any advice from owners of these awesome cans?
Thanks everyone and Merry Christmas early!
