Really good headphones with a really good dedicated amp and upgraded cable would satisfy you and the neighbors.

Yes indeed, as I said " That's why I have always maintained a decent headphone setup." I think that the OP would benefit from your advice though.
Yes, I'm sure you're right but I often share my listening with others and I'd hate to think of 2 or 3 people sitting around listening to the same music through headphones and barely able to communicate such important messages as "Another glass of wine?". Perhaps we should be using text messages for this - what a miserable thought!
No, I really don't like the prospect of headphones despite the fact that I'm sure one can listen in super quality and at whatever volume one likes without disturbing neighbours. I don't like cables between my amp / headphone amp and my listening chair either, although I presume there are good wireless headphones available. Any recommendations, although none of my existing amps has a phones output?
Thanks Peter
I certainly appreciate your social needs. Very civilised IMO. Agreed that headphones are not a practical idea with guests.Yes I believe that these days there are very good wireless cans out there. However I have no personal knowledge of them and have to admit that I don't understand how they interface with a traditional hifi set up. I do get how they can work with e.g. Blue Tooth streaming (preferably where all is APTX) but I tend to come across this this mainly in relation to phones, tablets and similar devices.
I would always recommend Tyll Hertsen's InnerFidelity website where there is loads of good guidance on headphone matters.
My own ( wired) approach can be found in my profile here but I am going to be looking for some new 'phones to replace my old Sennheisers sometime soon.
Headphones really can offer satisfying listening. I had a wonderful evening yesterday listening to R3's live broadcast via the HD stream of John Eliot Gardener/Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (Ibragimova) and Lobgesang symphony. Speakers are currently back at the factory for service (tweeter upgrade).
Regards
Pete
