My first "system" was a Yamaha CR420 receiver, a JVC QLF4 Turntable, and a pair of Epicure Tens. I bought it in 1978 or 1979. Sorry, no pics.

Sounds like M. Berger has a case of upgradeitis. I suggest sleeping on the purchase until the urge passes. I do not intend to ridicule. I sincerely suggest saving the cost. Or, at least somehow, barrow a DAC install it and see if a difference can be heard.

I'm not sure the OP needs to spend $300. I can speak as an owner that the Sennheiser HD 598 or HD 598 Special Edition have a nice open sound. They also cost about $160. If he's using a portable player the HD 598 may not be the way to go. On the mobile/portable side, the HiFiMan HE 400s might...

The situation is bad mates. I thought the Nespresso was the best I ever had. Anyone know of excellent coffee in Harrisburg, PA? Also, are you folks using coffee and espresso interchangeably?

Can't resist bringing it up. I'm anticipating jeers. Nesspresso anyone? I love mine.

Maybe the ELAC Element Integrated amplifier is worth consideration?

I'll suggest the NAD VISO HP-50. Just because it's in the $300 price range and supposedly has an "open" sound for a closed headphone. it gets good reviews.
