HI,
I am considering purchasing Sennheiser HD-650 headphones, a microamp from headroom and cardas cables for interconects to my sources (IPOD and electrocompaniet CD player). I listen to rock (Dire straits, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, U2, REM, etc.). Its pretty hard purchasing stuff from reading reviews but I can't easily audition gear.

My questions are- are the Headphones, amp and cables good matches for each other? Are they good matches for the type of music I like? Any suggestions?

Thanks
Mike

I'd say the components you list are pretty good matches. Only suggestion I would have is to substitute on of RnB's Interconnects for the Cardas. I personally found them much better than the Cardas with increased clarity, detail and musicality.

I'd say it's a solid combo.
