Yes. I use Senn. 600s driven by Sonic Frontiers Line 2 tube pre-amp-- it has Headroom circuitry. The 600s are very comfortable, and with open air construction your ears don't sweat during long listening sessions-- don't want sweaty ears! My listening room is right next to our guest room, and as I often listen to music late at night, when we have guests, headphones are my only option. I still prefer speaker listening, but don't feel deprived when I have to use headphones. Cheers. Craig
Should I buy headphones?
I am considering buying headphones, such as the Sennheiser HD600. I would listen to them at home in two situations, when my wife is sleeping (I wake up earlier) and so I can listen louder than my wife prefers when she is home. My preamp, a Cary SLP-2002, has a built in headphone amp (or is it a headphone preamp?). I have not listened through headphones before, except on airplanes and with portable CD and cassette players.
I would appreciate comments regarding whether you listen to headphones at home very often, and the pros and cons of listening through headphones versus listening to floor standing speakers at a lower volume when the wife is home. Thanks.
