I want to update/improve my headphone rig

I recently went thru my whole cd collection disc by disc, and have
embarked on a project to listen to each disc therein over the next
3 to 4 years. It has occured to me that I might want to improve the
sonics of my rig.

It consists of: Singlepower PPX3 amp with 6cg7 tubes; Bryston cdp;
Sennheiser HD600 cans, with 10' cardas cable; old audioquest ICs; and
power cords made from Belden 19364 cable. I'm not going to replace the
Singlepower or the Bryston, but everything else is fair game.

I'm thinking that some new ICs, new power cords, or new tubes (currently
using RCA clear top 6cg7). The cans themselves are 10+ years old, so
maybe it's time for a new pair. I like the HD600s, but am willing to
consider something else.

My hearing is pretty decent for my age (67), or at least I think it is.

I'm not dis-satisfied with the overall sound of my rig, I just want to
improve it if I can do so for reasonable sums.

My budget is $1000 or less.

Your input greatly appreciated.

The Singlepower is in fact a non-SLAM unit * - Mike K 17:40:50 05/19/14 (0)
