I use inexpensive Grados (SR80e) that replaced my unfixable old SR60s…the 80s took a while to break in (too much treble initially) but after a week or so they became astonishingly good, and when I've considered replacing them with other more expensive models from other brands (tried several here and there) I just stay with my Grados. I have closed back phones for recording, but the Grados get my reference choice.
headphones for tube system
Hi Audiogoners, greetings from the UK – I have a question that I hope someone will be able to answer for me.
Background: a lifelong music lover – (mostly contemporary ) and hifi enthusiast (albeit in a small way) - now in my dotage and sadly with deteriorating hearing.
My system is an Abbingdon CD77, pre is a Melody 1688 II into a McIntosh 275 mk 4, B & W CM10 ser 2 speakers. Van den Hul cabling.
I want be able to use headphones and am not sure how to go about adding in an amp for them. Any suggestions and headphone recommends would be appreciated
