Hi
This is my first post on this forum but I've been reading around for a while
Ok here is my question:
I have been using yp-z5 with sr-60 for more then 2 years now, i recently added an xm4(with switched opamp) and its delightful !
But since my left earcup started to make that "Wizzz" sound when going on very low deep bass i thinked myself i could upgrade get a lil change so i started looking around thinking about buying a 300$ set.
Thats when it found 350$ Grado rs1 at a local pawn shop they didnt look used at all, jumped on the deal and then found out that i really dont have much to feed it, make it sound like when i tested them at a local hi-fi shop.
The better sound i get is straight from my computer where an integreted "high definition" sound card claims true 24bit decoding.
The yp-z5/xm4 is clear and fun but Not magical like rega planet/ra1 combo....
since i'm not quite rich yet i was thinking NAD 521BEE with MG Head DT/OTL MK III
but i know they are all good piece of hardware but i'm worrying about synergy ...
since i cant hear them first and kinda cant afford whats in local hi-fi shop around here
(ra1 - 640$, old arcam cant remember the # - 775$) i would go for recommendations
Thx a lot
