Thanks for the great tip there. I am a relative newbie to this list, and
haven't
introduced myself, so I will now, before asking questions. My name is Rick,
I have
been interested in live recordings and general audio stuff + computers as
long as
I can remember. I currently own a Sharp MDS-R60 portable MD, and a Pioneer
MJ-D707
deck unit (wish it had coax output..). I listen to most of my music on
headphones
using either my portable cd player or my MD units.
That said, I am interested in what Larry brought up about headphone amps. I
currently
have a cheapo pair of Koss over-the-ear plugs that I rarely use, kind of a
backup in
case I need them for travelling or portability. My main set of headphones is
a $20
Sony headphones (the ones with big cups on the sides, "old school" style
<g>), not sure
of the model # but I know it has 30mm drivers in it and sounds "decent".
Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for a great pair of
headphones that
are between $70-$150, and a good headphone amp. Eventually I'd like to
upgrade to something
like this because it sounds like with what I am using I am not getting the
best sound
quality I can get. (using the headphone amp and my cheap sony headphones).
