My humble setup

Hi all,

I just want to share my setup. I'm new to this hobby and really happy how the Deva Pro sounds with the ifi zen air can.

Deva pro feels comfy and the build quality feels sturdy. Bass greatly improved when connected with the amp and bass boost turned on. Compared to my previous headphones (philips shp 9500 and x2hr) Deva pro sounds a lot better and more detailed. Any suggestions on what I need to upgrade next?

The question of upgrading is honestly as much philosophical in this hobby as anything. You can always chase something else, and different headphones will perform better for certain genres than others, or highlight different aspects of the tracks.

If you really did want something else, you'd have to first state your preferences. Are you currently content with the Deva? Is there anything you feel they are missing? If not, maybe just enjoy them!

nice and clean

It looks like you have an AT LP-60x turntable, so you could upgrade it with a rubber or cork mat (might improve stability while playing, will likely avoid static issues like the original felt mat lifting up when removing a record), and you could upgrade the stylus to an elliptical diamond one.

Lovely setup~ I would melt away with this in a nice comfy couch/recliner and some nice warm (orangey) light in the room.

Makes sense, I've been eyeing those, comes with the amp at less than $200, and considering I don't have an amp, seemed like a good deal. Still haven't decided though......How much cheaper is it without the amp ?
