Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Tonight's Concert in the Malvern Arms

Pure listening...
Eric C is amazing.
So is a lot of other stuff.
I've just finished a HiFi upgrade, almost approaching perfection. OK, I know it can never be reached.
I've also discovered streaming. Using Tidal and TuneIn. Spoilt for choice. I could spend hours listening.

Then SWMBO asks if there is a way I can listen to my stuff using headphones so she can watch TV.
OK, I say, and go and talk to my Guru, otherwise known as the HiFi dealer who takes my money. A bit like a Morgan dealer, he has my best intentions at heart.
And his bank balance.

It seems I need a small box to attach to my pre-amp so I can plug in headphones. £670 including cables.
Thanks.

Then I need closed back headphones. Really?
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD25s. Good in their day, still respected. They go for about £100 a pair.
BUT to get to the level of the rest of the system I need Sennheiser HD 820s. A cook £2k.

Really?

Buying HiFi is like buying cars..... nirvana is unachievable, but always tempting.
