Thanks to a recommendation here in the forum, I was able to get my hands on a nice pair of
Sennheiser HD540 reference II headphones last week.
Now from what I heard is that headphone listening is a bit of an addiction in it's own right, and certainly
viewed as competetive to good speakers. (or more than that..)
The headphones are very nice & I believe they are rather decent quality,
but when I plug them into the headphone socket of my pre-amp,
they sound rather nice or ok-ish , but far from being a competition to my speakers.
So I thought there must be more to it then just that & I tend to believe the headphone out of my pre is not up to the task to show the full potential of those headphones.
What do you think...should the headphone out of the pre be enough to show full potential of ~better headphones ?
Or do you think I could make a considerable progress with a dedicated headphone amp?
And can you recommend one that offers great vfm ?
Absoultely new to the headphone topic, I'm grateful for a few hints what to do..
Thanks in advance !
