In my own calculation until I have not tried a fully balanced system with HD600 and K701, that now should cost under $1000, I will not move on to HD800 or T1.
In other words I can build a fully balanced system for $1000 or I can buy a single headphone for the same price+ and not to mention the amp and the rest... Not so much about the money, but mostly about spending it correctly and peace of mind... I don't want to sit there with cognitive dissonance due to buyers remorse.

If you are happy with your cans, great, you've just save a tonne of cash. But when I heard what was out there with an open mind (and frightened wallet), there simply was no going back. |
