Slumber 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2004 i think i haf decided on KSC- 55... should i build a port amp to go along with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slumber 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2004 btw, is KSC - 55 good for isolation and also better if powered by port amp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lekguan 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2004 Other than the pana, sharp and sony, none of the above-mentioned provides any islolation. As a rules of thumb, amps improve the sound most of the time, if not always. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2004 should sound even better with portable amp.. and no-ksc55 doesn't isolate well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slumber 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2004 heyZ... today went down to SLS Hung Brothers... found out there is no stock of KSC - 55 n no idea when there will be stock. Bought the sennheiser MX500 insteed, but i dun think there is a diff to the music listening using MX500 compared to the normal ipod earphones....!!! =( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
