So Ebay is back with it's 30% cashback promotion. I'm looking to upgrade any part of my setup (in sig). I'm really looking for an improvement in classical music, as that's what I'm mostly dissatisfied listening to with my SR60s. I spend most of my time listening to music in front of my computer and a little less listening from my iPod in my room/outside my house.
To be more specific about what kind of classical, I listen to mostly cello/orchestra works (I'm a cellist after all) with some chamber and symphonic work and piano and violin works sprinkled in. I'm looking for a warm and intense sound, like the feeling you get when you're front-row watching a great cellist in a big concert hall.
I'm trying to spend less than $200 after cashback.
So, should I buy headphones, a full-size amp, a portable amp/LOD, speakers, or something else?
Just a quick rundown of prices I saw of things I might like:
AD700 - $79
AKG K701 - $181
Beyer DT880 '05/250ohm - $207
Senn HD600 - $210
Denon D2000 - $178
AKG K601 - $143
Little Dot I+ - $75
Senn HD595 - $133
Logitech Z-2300 - $85
Logitech X-240 - $28
Zero DAC/Amp - $113
Haven't found any portable amps yet.
