Howdy all,
I have tentatively come to the decision to upgrade my current system if it is economically viable. By upgrade my system I really just mean upgrade my cans. I just purchased a Gilmore Lite, and I'm very pleased with it. Further, I'm using an older Kenmore CD player, and it suits me just fine at the moment. What I would like to do is sell the following equipment:
HD580
SR225
Portable Headsave Classic (Built in Norm's very last batch, and modded to run on 9-volts).
I figure I can get roughly $120, $140, $140 respectively, and since I really can't afford to dump any more money into this hobby (about to start financing law school) my total budget will run $400. On the whole I like the combo I have because it is pretty versatile. I can listen to both rock and classical, and both are great, along with everything in-between. I also do a bit of gaming, and find that the amped 580s have a fantastic sound stage and have worked really well, though my gaming time is about to evaporate in all probability. Given all this, does anyone have some ideas for a decent can? I've though about RS2s, but figured they might not be able to do everything that I want. I've also considered the CD3000s because they seem to be pretty highly rated. Will either of these synergize with my glite? A source upgrade is probably about 3 years off if that is a consideration. If you think that what I have is good, please don't be afraid to say that because status quo may be the route I go.
Thanks a ton,
