How many members have replaced full blown "audiophile approved" systems with a headphone/amp system? I thought the day would never come when I would contemplate such a move, but wheels are turning and the thought has crossed my mind. The last serious headphones I owned was some Grados back in the 90s. But I never had a serious headphone amplifier, just plugged them straight into a dis player. So is it possible to get very high quality sound for say, 2K or less? Good enough to walk away from the big rig? Oz Don't worry about avoiding temptation.

I didn't replace my main setup, but I have a nice headphone setup. |

Has featured a set of Stax Lambda Pros that I got as a Christmas present for Christmas 1990. The driver needs servicing or replacement. I have tried a lot of different dynamic headphones and they all sound slow and incapable of generating realistic sound. Nothing is like the sound of full range electrostatic headphones. I miss my Stax phones and will fix the driver or replace it ASAP. Ed Life is analog...digital is just samples thereof |

I thought the 800 were extremely over rated the 15 times I heard them at the can jam in costa mesa. |
