Stuge:

Welcome to the Forum.

What are you looking for? An integrated amp or headphone amp? The companies that you mentioned - Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo, Harman Kardon, Technics, NAD, Linn, Rotel... are all represented in India. All these companies make pre amplifiers, power amplifiers, and integrated amps to power loudspeakers, not headphones. The prices of these products vary depending upon specification. But, just to give you an idea, they could cost from somewhere around 15,000 to a couple of lakhs.

Headphone amplifiers are made by a different set of companies such as Headroom, Grado, Single Power Audio, Graham Slee, etc.

For you price range you should look for amps from Headroom. They are supposed to be very good and affordable.

Cheers

stuge,
there was a response on a similar post i made about indian made headphone amps. a headphone amp/pre amp available from lyrita audio, delhi. i'm hoping he gets his friend who purchased said amp to give us a review.

i know that most 'portable headphone amps' are available on ebay and will ship to india, but i guess the point is to be able to audition the unit before buying.

if you want some buying advice/reviews etc, Head-Fi.org: Headphones, iPod earphones, portable audio, MP3 players, high-end audio, but you probably already knew that.

peace,
a

yes, I know about head-fi audio (member their since 2006,but the problem is I'm not in favor of importing things from abroad (due to customs etc etc) though its much easier to import Walkman etc .)

Now ,I want to know how is Cambridge audio Azur 340?

in b/w I got Sennhesier HD650 yesterday

.

The 340A and 340ASE should be under 12k and 15k respectively. I believe the 340A-SE has negligibly more power than the 340A, front input for MP3 players and a iPod-dock compatible remote. However almost all amps have a headphone output connection so this is not unique to the CA. What the CA has going for it is price -- throw in another 6 or 7,000 and you can buy their S30 compact loudspeakers as well. Only consider how long you intend to keep the amp running as it could run rather hot if kept on for extended periods.

Particleman and Stuge. Somehow the concept of using an integrated amp to connect to a PC for a pair of headphones... does not make sense to me. You will be underutilising the capabilities of the amp, and paying too much to power a pair of headphones.

Stuge, if you can surf the Net, and decide which model and brand you want, there are people who can import it for you against specific orders. For a headphone amp, I doubt there will be any customs duty at all.

But, if you still insist on a integrated amp, the CA models are good.

Cheers
