To shard "The Sugden Headmaster is not the best amp (totally debatable and subjective), IMO, far from it. You can probably find a better sounding amp for about half the amount." What is that ampifier that u mention that costs only half of that of sugden. I may be interested in it.

To N@Z Not planning to connect sugden headmaster to the computer speaker.

I had decided to stretch my budget over $2000+. I demanded the best amp and headphones, save me the trouble to upgrade later. Evil-zen, I realise that the remote for the sugden is an added advantage and I like the looks too. Pure Class A ampifier too. Bought the sugden few days ago and a Senn HD650 yesterday. Amp and HD650 sounds nice on my Sony pcdp, maybe will upgrade source to cdp or USB D/A converter. I just curious to check out the quality of the soundcard, which I realised makes listening fatigue. Will rely on pcdp for the moment. Also, thanks ppl for your helpful contributions.

Bought the sugden headmaster. Can I use the headmaster to connect to headphone out on my computer speaker which has 1/8 jack thru y-shaped RCA plug? Any problem?? Will it damage my computer speaker or headphone ampifier???

Thanks alot. Will spend some more time thinking before deciding on the equipments to be purchased.

Hi everyone I'm thinking of buying headphone Senn HD600/HD650 to listen to music. Shall I upgrade my soundcard (currently using SB Live D.E) or shall I buy a dedicated headphone ampifier (Sugden Headmaster) to be connected to my Sony pcdp and existing soundcard? Which sounds better? The reason is that if using a high quality soundcard is not much different from using an expensive headphone ampifier, I might as well save the money to buy a better soundcard.
