You should search some of the comments on www.head-fi.org. I am using a Headroom MOHR, Theta Cobalt, CD-3400, Etymotic ER-4S or HD-600 (best of both). I used to use Grado 325's, but now choose the 600's with the Red Jaspis cable. BTW that system for around $1500 invested is a great value, good luck.
Headphones and amp questions
I am contemplating getting a set of headphones and headphone amp, again.
In the past when I considered this, the Senn 600's and the Grado RS-2's seem to be the leaders in my research, as well as some AKG's.
First question, the Senn's are open back and can be easily heard by others from what I have read, is this true? Are the Grado's quieter than the Senn's in this respect?
I don't know anything about headphome amps, I was thinking about the Musical Fidelity X-can, is this a good choice?
Will it hinder the music much if I get a long extension for the headphones? I would like to sit, comfortably, a good 14ish feet away.
Any and all opinions will be appreciated.
