How Do You Set Up a Headphone System?


I’ve finally got a headphone setup that I really enjoy listening to. What’s curious is that it’s about as simple as it can get: a portable CD player and headphones with cable and battery upgrades. I’ve tried using many of the same components from my 2-channel rig but I’ve always gotten mixed results. Why is that? Why do the more expensive components not help in this situation? I must be screwing up the implementation, right? So how do you setup a great headphone system for amazing sound?

The beauty of a good headphone rig is that it takes the room out of the equation.  I have three headphones I'm currenty using, a portable battery powered amp, a Rupert Neve amp and the Quicksilver Headphone Amp.  

Depending on the music and my mood,  I'll use different amp / phone combos.... you could never do that easily with amps and speakers.   It's like having a room full of speakers at your disposal.  But more practical
