Hey all,
Thanks Mach2/ Jamie !!.. I have already read the mentioned reviews so many a times, as they are an excellent reference as well as headfonia....
As you have all mentioned any of the bottlehead amps should work well , it's all about listening preference and budget.
Since I just started with DIY, at so many frontiers ( amp , dac (possibly dddac)) as well as high efficiency speakers) ... I believe I will go with the SEX for the reason being that I will be also going for ortho's (not sure yet what, as I still have to spend time enjoying my dynamic headphones first
..) ...
To be honest, though I was heading for the hd800, I stumbled upon an unbelievable deal at ebay that I couldnt resist .. And got the hd700s.. Though amped by a basic ss amp and dac, they're quite lovely, but I believe they would perform much better with bottlehead gear..
It's such a thrill to get into this, let alone diy woodwork to complement it ... And thank you all for the great responses ... Such a great forum to spend time reading..
So much to learn !,
My best
Shnutz
Over n out !
