| Originally posted by jude The Max I'm very happy with, so I don't intend to upgrade that anytime soon -- though I will admit that I'd like to maybe give tubes another try with the Wheatfield HA-2 or the MicroZOTL for my office rig (the Cary looks awesome but is just too expensive for what I budget for audio). |
| Regarding headphone upgrades: Where do I go from here? I've tried a lot of dynamic headphones, and I really like the HD-600's and the 7506/V6's quite a lot. I may still try the Beyer DT-990 Pros (250-ohm) some day (I tried the 600-ohm ones before). I'd like to listen to the MDR-CD3000's some day soon. Electrostatics may be in my future, but probably not the near future. |
| I think I really enjoy the tweaking thing because it's a challenge -- and very rewarding -- to extract as much performance that I can out of the core equipment I've got. Heheh....I know, that ain't cheap either (it can actually be as expensive -- or more expensive -- than mid-priced gear) and it can still mean the addition of other components, but it's a blast. The challenge of tweaking I'm finding to be my second favorite thing to do with my rig, behind listening to music. |
So bring on the power cords, interconnects, cones, pucks, stands, ceramic insulators, roller bearings, dedicated AC circuit, .........

| Wheatfield HA-2+HD600+Clou=Poor Man's Orpheus IMHO. |
