Or compromise and get a cordless headphone. I am abt 3m from my components, will be connecting my DVD-P directly to the Headphone Amp. Thanks for the recommendation of Sudgen Headmaster, looks good but who is the local agent and how much when new? Besides, how much is the X-Can V3? Many Thanks. Best Regards from a Headphone Newbie!!

Scriberex 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Hi Duckling, The X-can v3 starting price was about S$720 couple of months back (Bargainable to S$650) at Alpha Audio, SLS. If you don't mind a mint second hand Xcanv3, drop me a pm with a realistic offer. upgraditis is a dangerous disease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Scriberex, thanks for the info, I will definitely consider your offer, meanwhile I need to read up more abt Headphone & Amp - it's my first time, before I take the plunge.

yongchris 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 You can get the Sudgen from Electrades (sim lim or AZ building). Saw it there when I bought my speaker stands, but didn't ask the price. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 duckling, once U sail out into the open seas of headphone amps, u'll find loads of options. Knowing that U're a high-end guy, do not be confined to what's available locally. Good luck in your quest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lengcm 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 (edited) THe Cary SLI80 and the 300 SEI come with remotes for volume. Both amps can be purchased from Music by Design at Adelphi. I have heard the Cary SLI 80 with the HD650 using the Equinox cable. This combination is something to behold. www.caryaudio.com Edited January 30, 2004 by lengcm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duckling 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 Wahh...Cary too High End for me and out of my budget. Just started on Headphones, so set a budget of $3K which includes Source, Headphone and Amp. But I'll still need to clear my current setup first. In case if anyone is interest in M&K THX 5.1 Speakers, pls refer to my ad in Echoloft / Extremeplace. Thanks.
