so im strongly considering a pair of sennheiser 555, being on a part time job i dont have the extra dough to toss for a pair of 590's or 650's but the 555 is well in my price range, besides id hate to lay down the bills for a pair of 650's that im going to use with my zune. anyway i was wondering what your thoughts were on them?
Like many special interest forums, I would guess you get questions like this a lot, so I hope I don't come across as too annoying.
I love music. Love it. You all understand this, so I doubt I need to explain more. I used to listen to LPs quite a bit several years ago as a kid/teenager, and enjoyed them. Moving away from that, I feel my music consumption has become quite sterile, and have decided to get back into vinyl.
Tonight on PBS at 8 pm is Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment. Natalie Dessay is of course the main draw, but when this performance happened, the story was the tenor Juan Florez nailing the high-C 9 times in a single aria. The crowd went nuts and he was called for the encore (the first encore at the Met since 1994!) and he nailed it 9 more times.

Hi all. After years of semi-crappy mix and match systems i'm contemplating a real beast to aid my music habit. I mostly listen to vinyl but i need a cd solution too. My budget is around 3000$ and here's what i was thinking of buying, any thoughts on this setup are more than welcome.
turntable: Rega P2
cartridge: Ortophon 2M
integrated amp: Rega Brio3
speakers: Dali IKON 6
cd player: Sony CDP-CX455 (not sure about quality, but i need a "jukebox" kinda thing)
headphones out: Rega Ear
headphones: AKG K240 (already own these)
thanks!

I know this work is not respected by many, but I have enjoyed it for some time. I have the original Van Cliborn LP version, but it is showing some playing ware. If anyone has a recommendation for a good CD version of this that is not an over the top performance I would appreciate it. Thanks.
