Hello there everyone !!!!!!
I have been lurking and seaching this exellent site for a few days now and have learned lots of wonderful stuff about pink noise, biaural recording and tube amps. Sounds like fun to me - I want in.
Here are my final choices for a starter set of cans
HD595 - £80
SR60 - £65
SR125 - £100
They will be for home use for when the wife and baby are sound alseep and I want to be transported into the wonderful world of music. Source is my Denon seperates system. No amp yet but plan to save and buy one in the next 12 months if you feel I would benefit at this range.
Music I like includes The Flaming Lips, Beck, Pink Floyd, Orbital, Bob Dylan, Joanna Newsom, The White Stripes, Mike Oldfield, Bob Marley, J.M.Jarre, Radiohead
I was all for the 595 but comments on the last of bass have made me wobble a bit. I really like the idea of John Grado hand-making my phones in Brooklyn as opposed to the big corp that is Senn. I can't find stores locally to compare the Grado sound to the Senn but understand that the Grado is more immediate and close up compared to the warmer more spacious soundscape of Senn.
To be honest I was going to just toss a coin and try one but I though I would put it out there to you lot and see what you think. I am of course still open to other suggestions.
