Description

Here is my current system. Looking for any suggestions on things I can upgrade or modify to improve my system. It is strickly a 2 Channel headphone rig.

09/07/04 Update:

Replaced the 222ES by Sony with a nice Rega Planet 2000 in Silver with black lid. Very sweet sounding unit. Also added a DH Labs Power Plus AC cable. Still breaking it in, but it's a welcome change from the stock cord.

07/02/03 Update:

Well I've traded in the SR225 for the Grado RS-1 headphones. Very nice cans. Currently breaking them in at the moment.

Components Toggle details

    • Rega Planet 2000
    Sweet, analog sounding CD player. A keeper for me.
    • Grado RA-1
    Battery powered, machined from a solid block of mahogany, the RA-1 uses a pair of audiophile op-amps with high-current output capability and wide bandwidth. Two nine volt batteries will drive the amp for a full 40 to 50 hours. Hook it up to any line source, portable or in the home, and luxuriate in the warm, smooth, full-bodied, rich, non-fatiguing sound.
    • JPS Labs Superconductor FX
    Locking interconnect providing great detail and letting all the music through.
    • Grado RS-1
    Grado's new Reference Series RS-1 headphone is handcrafted at Grado Labs from a special species of mahogany. Grado technicians devised an intricate process of curing the wood to achieve optimal sonic clarity. The result? A sound that's pure Grado--warm and harmonically accurate with full-bodied vocals, excellent dynamics, and an ultra-smooth treble. You haven't heard bass and detail like this before--at least not anywhere near this price! The new Grado RS-1 weighs a mere 9 ounces, so it's exceptionally light on the ear. The flexible hand-stitched leather headband is super-comfortable and easy to adjust for any individual.
