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.
Crikey steady on there Peter otherwise you will be needing to head on back to consultancy land and you don't want that.
