Dear specialists!
I'm looking for a good (native) amp for my Sennheiser HD650. They say that Graham Slee Solo is the best, since Sennheiser used it at it's own demo with HD650. But as far as I see here, you are don't really like this amp. So, please tell me, what is the best amp for HD650's:
- ever?
- under $500 (or any reasonable price)?
Also, i found that there's a plenty few revisions of the Slee Solo: http://translate.goo...2617%26page%3D1
So, if your advice would still be a Graham Slee Solo, what kind of revision should I look for: red (old) for vinyl-like sound, or green (new) for a new CD digital era?
Taking into consideration that I'm using:
CD-transport: Technics SL-PS770A --> Aura VA-100 (B&W vintage integrated amp, not MKII) --> B&W 805S or Sennheiser HD650
up to 192kHz/24bit PC (flac/ape vinyl, cd grabs) source --> T.C. Electronic Desktop Konnekt 6 (DAC) --> Aura VA-100 (B&W vintage integrated amp, not MKII) --> B&W 805S or Sennheiser HD650
I'm listening most: Rock, New Age, Acoustics, Electronic (chip).
BTW, do I need an amp for my HD650, or there's no nessesary because of Aura VA-100's internal headphone amp? I can't find any info if Aura's headphone out can handle (by ohms) my HD650. But I know that I need a high gain amp for my 300 ohms HD650's.
