Found a Parasound Zamp v.3 on Facebook for $100. Also comes with a 2nd Zamp that has an overheating issue I can mess around with.

Iâm quite curious as to what you will think about the senheiser 
I interpreted it as an unfavorable opinion

Thatâs fair lol. More interested in depth opinions I guess
Oh I donât know⌠I would guess the user is undecided as of now but first impressions may not have gone to plan!
Trying on ânewâ forms of audioâŚ
(Itâs new for me since I barely remember Vinyl when I was a kid =P)

Whatâs the thing thatâs in between your Asgard and Bifrost? Is it for looks or to facilitate cooling?

The SP200 arrived this afternoon. Itâs kinda silly, but I got all excited when I saw that the box was here! And yet, I was sort of nervous because I have been doing all this reading and watching⌠âThe SP200 is fantastic⌠The SP200 is pretty much crapâŚâ and so on! Had I made the right choice? Only one way to find out. On the desk it went.
My mighty little MX-3 is feeding it for now. Iâll have to save up for a bit before I can get the DAC. Iâm thinking M400 as a downrange goal or maybe a Bifrost 2 if they can ever get their Schiit together. But man, I gotta say, I love how the DAC in this MX-3 sounds. It will definitely do for now. It sure stacks nicely with the SP200. Total bonus!
Iâm starting out slow for now, starting out in low gain and balancing the MX-3âs pre output. Iâve only had it up for 40 minutes, so I will need some time before I can get a better idea. But first impressions are - Wow. I am very, very impressed. Itâs - so clean. There is no noise - zip, nada, zero! Quiet spots in a song or in between tracks there is absolutely nothing. Music is delivered with an authority and punch that the MX-3 could not deliver. Donât get me wrong, that headphone amp was really good - but this is just levels better. I am very happy.
Now itâs time to re-assess this rag-tag headphone fleet of mine!
Ah, the slings and arrows of being in this blasted art!

Vinyl is a really fun part of this hobby.
Use Discogs.com to see all the different pressings of albums.
Some are significantly better than others. However just know that if you start getting audiophile all analog pressings you might want to get a turntable that you can balance the tonearm. The AT-LP60X is non-adjustable and that style typically puts a lot of pressure on the records causing extra were and tear while a balanced tonearm wonât cause any noticeable wear even after 100âs of plays.
Happy Spinning

I know my comment was some kind of ambiguous compliment, but in fact, itâs great as is, tidy!

Thanks! Yeah, I am justing getting to Vinyl and have heard multiple accounts from the LP60 track force, both that itâs problematic and itâs fine. The reality is: itâs harder to get another TT here in my country, prices for any of the classics basically doubles. So ATLP60x seemed the best place to start. If I found myself liking the whole journey, I will definitively invest in a better TT.
Also, I know about the different pressings but donât know many details on which is best / what is the difference. So, if itâs okay, I may ask some questions regarding that to you later.
Well, it looks good and works well. Not sure if there is any audible difference. Maybe there is more space around instruments in live recordings but maybe its placebo

I love vinyl but prefer it with 2 channel listening over headphones⌠Iâd say keep it simple and cheap with a schiit mani phono⌠donât upgrade tonearms, carts, phono, etc⌠until you are certain youâre into it. I have a great record shop that I can get solid quality used vinyl for $5 - $10 all day.
Have fun!
