Recommendations for headphones under $400?
" I still could have my h300 internally modified to convert the existing pre out to a full line out independant of music through the speakers."Hi uberwaltz,     I didn't know this was even an option and you were considering it.  If it's not cost p...

Hi chrshani37,     Ah, okay.  I somehow missed reading he uses a turntable.   I was going to ask uberwaltz what sources he was using.     I'm amazed a hi-end manufacturer like Hegel makes its customers jump through hoops just to listen to headphon...
