Hello All,
I've been spending a lot of time (and money!) upgrading my headphone set-up as living arrangements have made listing through speakers a bit tricky (working until late, thin walls, etc.)
I've now made the decision to dispense with my speaker set-up completely and am selling my MF A5 and Triangle Zerius'. I've also found I really enjoy listening through my cans and am keen to get the most out of my system, which is:
Sugden Masterclass CD player (replaced MF A3.2)
Chord Chorus 2 interconnect (replaced Van den Hul First Ultimate)
MF X-Can V3 (with X-PSU and Bugle Boy tubes replacing stocks)
Grado RS-1 headphones (replaced Grado S125)
I'm now looking to finish my upgrade with a new headphone amplifier that will match the other components. A few options are:
Earmax (Pro or Silver edition)
Sugden Headmaster
Singlepower PPX or MPX3
This post is really to hear from you guys any comments on the above and any other suggestions. At this stage I'm looking for products with good synergies with my cans and CDP.
I listen to a broad range of music, but generally in the rock sphere. I like a warm involving sound (hence the sugden and RS-1s), but don't want to sacrifice too much on clarity and timing. Budget is circa £750 (proceeds from sale of other kit) to spend on either new or second hand kit.
