I own the Pass Labs Aleph 3, and it's the best I've heard within $6500. I've only heard so many amps, though; off the top of my head, a couple of McIntosh's newer tube integrateds in that price range, NAD's Master Series integrated, and Ayre's current model.
Amp recommendation for AKG K1000's headphones?
I recently gave into temptation & picked up a pair of AKG K1000's. I've wanted a pair for ages & with their retirement there was no time like the present. Now comes the interesting part of finding an amp that pairs well with them :)
But before making the leap into uncharted territory [for me] I was curious what amps might be worth an audition? To level-set -- ideally this will become a dedicated headphone rig, so the scope of this decision doesn't need to account for synergy with my existing front-end gear.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
