Best Headphones & Amp---Opinions Please

I have a B&W / Lexicon centered high-end system. Just discovered the joy of listening to headphones. Have the Senn 650's with an upgraded 15 foot Cardas cable (no headphone amp) connected directly to my Onkyo 905 receiver. I would like to "push the envelope" in this area by upgrading to whatever my fellow aduiogoner's may suggest.

I would like opinion on the best equipment available. Cost is not a major consideration, but, I would rather not spend considerably more just for a 5 to 10% improvement--in other words---the most bang for the bucks.

Thanks in advance for your assistance--Dave

I have found going and visiting "can jam" a real eye and listening session it really helped me identify various Amps and headphones.

I presently have the AKG K1000 to a Cary 300SEI with Western 300B after experimenting with many different headphone applications this is by far the absolute best.

If you do not like tube maintenance than I would look towards the Senn. 650 or the AKG K701 with a Headroom Max with dual mono amp design, they are a great consideration.

Enjoy music!
