Vertical Scrog LED Closet Grow || Flooded Tube/ NFT || 450w - Headband - 2’ x 3’

Hey Jig and all the musciians on here...
I am looking for a headphone amp.
I have no idea the differences.
I am going to be powering ipod and smartphone from it mostly.
I cant get the sound I want without one.
I have several headphones on the way right now based on my reading at Headfi.org
They (Headfi peeps) all seem to use super expensive headphone amps!
While I want great SQ, I am seriously on a budget, esp after my ATH-M50s
I guess I am asking if pro audio, portable, and audiophile ones are basically the same, and if anyone has a budget one they recommend.

They are hard to find. The cheap ones suck!

I have looked at several on eBay from China, with tubes in them.
I really cant spend $400 on a headphone amp, but $50-$75 isnt out of the question.

I have Denon receivers, and they have headphone jacks, but not sure how an independent one would compare?!?
The sound and output from the Denon is WAY superior to my smart phone and ipod though, but it isnt where I listen to music with phones.

Ever look up any mods?? Ive seen a bunch for mics but havent needed to look for amps but i can assume if parts are similar they can be upgraded.

You take a cheap MXL mic, get high quality but cheap ceramic resistors/transistors or whatever the fuck they are, unsolder the existing parts and replace them with the 50 bucks of upgrades you got and boom, 1000+ dollar mic for about 200 ish i think. Give or take. Also put a new screen on it and some other slight mods but theyre very very easy.

Not sure if any of these would work. Buy one at guitar center, if you don't like it, return within 30 days.

Yeah I think Ill go down there and try some out.
Maybe take 2 home and compare them.

Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Get on down there, it's like toys r us.

You can also score some nice used stuff there from time to time.

I run a Bose Bluetooth wave and Bose headphones and Bose 7.1 home theatre 901 series... Never changing.... just sayin!

Dude, you are the man. Please... tell me all about that system. Not kidding. Wife has been on me to setup a sonus type system for a long time and I just don't want to because it's too expensive (at least for what you get in my opinion). I'm a big fan of bose, and we have a few products of theirs, but tell me about the wave, how do you use it? Does it stream stuff? I get so fucking lost reading descriptions and stuff like that because it doesn't really deal with what the thing acutally does in real life.

So any input is appreciated.

I've been a little hit or miss with Bose. I bought some PC speakers of theirs that were just terrible and returned them. I bought some more expensive PC speakers and have pretty much loved those. I've had 2 of their surround sounds and one broke after about 6 months and returned/upgraded it to another model. That one was ok, but got old and sold at yard sale eventually. This last TV I bought has 16 speakers in it, so I just added a yamaha woofer to it and I'm happy for now. Remember my TV jig? It was so exciting we both fell asleep on the couch?

I've had a bose 3-2-1 system for over 10 years and am well satisfied....there's a pair of QE-2's that are great headphones.


cof

AS far as home audio, I run Tannoys for my mains and 2 channel listening
The living room system has a par of speakers I built 3 yrs ago.
I have Boston Acoustic mains in the garage/gym
Every system has a Bassman creations sub or 3.
For amplification I run all Denon Heads, with either Yamaha or Crest Audio for the sub power.


Update I just bought a tube/headphone amp from Ebay, now I have to decide on headphones.

I have always used AKG with great results. Tried some Sennheiser and they were not as good. I know it's not just me. My daughter keeps borrowing my AKGs

Hey fam been a lil min. Ac at the house took a dump.had to replace the entire unit.anyway we back on the hunt.post pics soon.@ Dr.D thanks again for your words of encouragement!! Things looking good as the popping starts.cherry pull est....

bose bluetooth is nice, I got it set up so that damn near everything with Bluetooth and sound can play out of it all you gotta do is tell the device to play via Bluetooth; even an old ipod nano that doesn't connect to anything else plays fine. and its only got a few buttons, I don't think I even looked at the manual when I set it it up. And you're right it is hit or miss with Bose... that's why I have models that have been tested and I don't use their amps/ receivers, I have a VERY spendy 2014 Onkyo head that I run everything to... IMO if you're gonna spend thousands on audio equipment, make sure it says MADE IN JAPAN... Just sayin', those ricers can make some DAMN GOOD electronics...

maybe look into Denon, Onkyo, B&W, Or if money is falling out of your ears try some NAKAMICHI.... Bose sounds like a Gameboy compared to Nakamichi....

I have a Denon receiver unit thingy. Just no bluetooth and the wife is crazy about having whatever is on her phone playing in any room of the house.

Thanks for the info.

Good to see you JoJo,

Nice plants mo!

Which model do you have?
Headphones are a very specific to people.
Impossible to find a pair everyone will prefer.
Some ppl dont care about sound much like my girl and any speakers will do, except for movie-time then she has to have the real speakers on.
