I need some help deciding on my next purchase. I sold my HE500s and Tubemagic D1 back in December to have some extra cash to spend on Christmas presents. I absolutely loved their sound but I am looking for something a little different... I don't really have a specific sound signature because I also adored my D5000s that I had previously. I've looked into the following:
1.)HE400i
2.)EL-8 (recently demoed-enjoyed but not blown away)
3.)PM2
4.)Z7
5.)USED D7000
6.)USED DX1000 (very interested, not much information)
7.)HE4
Now, I would prefer to not have to buy an amp, but if need be I don't want to spend a lot on an amp ($100-$150). I have some preferences I've sorted out after listening to several headphones over the past few years. They are as follows:
1.)Clarity/Air (instrument separation)
2.)Good mids, especially vocals
3.)Good bass, needs impact but I don't mind some boominess
4.)Good soundstage/imaging
