This is a system that I've thrown together for the past 6-8 mos. I just recently purchased the speakers, and cables, so I dont have too much $$ to spend in that area. (Especially the speakers) However, I would really appreciate some suggestions as to an inexpensive MD recorder with a PS/2 input if anyone has one to sell etc. Also, I would like to evolve into a real nice headphone system, but still have a speaker system that can hold its own. If anyone knows of a good headphone amp to power my Grado SR-125's that'd help. Last, should I upgrade my phones? They seem to work really well through the output of my reciever (gasp!) but I was wondering if I'd get a better sound with say a tube headphone amp. Thanks!!!!!
System edited: The LD Player was purchased because my girlfriend got about 70 LD's. I think I got a really good deal. The picture quality is not up to DVD standards, but it's better than VHS.
I had been looking at tube headphone amps, and I liked the Wheatfield Audio HA-1. Any opinions? Also, the sound quality on the latest MD players/recorders is actually quite respectable for portable use (which is my primary use). I use it to archive songs etc. off the radio. I have the Sharp MD-DR7 and it's quality is much better than that of any MP3. The ATRAC compression is clearly superior. Anyways, I looked at the Grado RS1 and RS2's. I was wondering what the realistic difference is between these two? Is the RS1 worth the extra $200 or so?
