Put together a nice little upstairs headphone system this afternoon.
Comprises of a jvc ql-y3f dd turntable i repaired and restored last year (was just sat there doing nothing) with a spare audio technica at-f7 cart, an old project phono box se i found in a cupboard and a world audio design hd83 headphone amp.
Headphones are a pair of fostex t50rp mk3 planars.
I have a set of b&w p7s and some sennheiser momentum 2 over ear cans aswell but i need a headphone extension plus the 3m fostex cable to use them. Neither of the other 2 have a long enough cable.
I was using all 3 previously as the amp was next to where i was sitting, i was using a dac and tablet to stream music but the tablet usb port went south so it was unusable. Accommodating the turntable meant it had to go at the other end of the room.
No loss, the fostex cans were my preferred option anyway.
Sounds really rather pleasant.
My wife reckons it wont be long before i start faffing with other decks and phono stages and making a mess in this room aswell......
