Hello everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
I spent a few months on these headfi forum's about a year and a half ago looking for some IEMs. I've learned quite a bit and decided on a pair of Shure e4c's. After that purchase, I did what was best for my wallet and quit coming here cold turkey. But I couldn't help but come back. Amazing I lasted this long.
I decided to get myself a pair of Grado SR60's. Please don't laugh at me, I'm fiscally challenged. That said, I'm looking to put myself further down the hole with the purchase of an amp. Thanks to skylab's and mrarroyo's reviews, I've narrowed my choices to a lackerton or minibox. But what do I know eh? So, I thought I'd toss out my source and listening preferences to see if some kind soul could steer me in another direction in the event I'm not already headed that way. Will an amp really improve on my Grado's?
I've read in the amp reviews all the reviewers were "burning in" the amps before reviewing them. What does this do to the amp? How does the sound change from the new in box state to the burned in state? Does this apply to headphones as well? Should my Grado's be burned in? If so for how long?
Also, I plan on getting a pair of Senn HD595's or Beyer DT880's in the future.
And lastly, I am kind of kicking myself in the arse for not spending the extra 30$ in getting the SR90's. Are they worth it?
Thanks a lot for you guys' time.
I thank you but my wallet hates you all
