I'm looking into purchasing some good cans, possibly Grado sr 80, 125 or 225's or maybe sony mdr sa1000, sa3000 or mdr sa 5000 and I will be listening with my computer (audigy 2zs). I know that a headphone amp will drastically improve the quality of all of these headphones. Temporarily, a few months maximum, i was thinking of using the headphone out of my Klipsch promedia 2.1's (beautiful little speakers that could). Ive spoken breafly to Klipsch's tech support about this headphone out and they have said that the entire enclosure that the headphone out is on is just a pre amp and that the real amp is whithin the sub housing. Do you think that this preamp would be good enough for just a few months? I do notice drastic improvement when using my bose triports (can you blame me for wanting new headphones?) when plugged into the 2.1's headphone out compared to directly into my computer sound card.
some noticeable improvements when plugged into the 2.1's
-there is actually a midrange to hear
-bass is tighter, hits harder and is more accurate
-i cant really notice anything different in the highs becuase triports suck =P
-sound is more neutral over a greater range of volume and only distorts at much higher volumes
-overall its a more pleasureable listening experience thru the 2.1's
I'm not sure how much power the preamp puts out but it would easily blow these triports if even turned up to 3/4 volume. i believe that this would be able to provide ample power for 225s or sa5000's.
please let me know if you think that running this set up is even worth it.
