In Reply to: RE: My budget: maybe US$400 for the 'phones ... posted by Dawnrazor on August 02, 2019 at 19:56:53
The Hafler HA75 looks great but it is a bit above my budget.
I have settled on an interim option plus am considering a longer term possibility -- see my latest post.

Oh i thought you said $1k for the cans and amp. $200 plus $649 is under 1k but maybe I missed something. My bad

If it's available somewhere for $650, that would make some difference.In any case I can afford to write off the JDS Atom at $100 if it's not good enough.

Weird man I bought mine last week for $650
I bought mine from them on Amazon, but the price directly is the same too:

US$650 is lower that I was able to find without searching very hard, but I can't argue with this evidence. FWIW, I'm in Canada and the best in-country price I could find was C$1300.
Anyway $650 is stretching my US$400 budget though I did spend a little less on the 'phones than I might have.
Ultimately I'm not the keen on a tube amp.

Fair enough, I just recall the Senns reacting well to tubes. The Ha75 just has a tube input, its not exactly full tube.
They do have the cheaper and pure Solid state HA15 IIRC.
Oh and for some reason I thought you had a budget of 1k, and spent $200 on the headphones. Guess I missed it.
FWIW I have 4 headphone amps now and 2 in dacs. The mistake I made was not just paying for a solid one in the 1st place. Had I not wasted dough on the $100 amps, I could have spent $1k on the headphone amp (but would have spend the $650 on this one instead and saved $300)
EMotiva makes an inexpensive amp that can power everything including the senheisers.

And a bad-luck choice can set you back for a while.
I just ordered a new DAC to use with the 'phones, a Topping D50.
