I use headphones alot for late night listening. I have tried most of what set300b lists above, except for the McCormack and I agree completely, especially about the Earmax. I personally use Grado's (RS-2 and SR80), but that is a personal choice-I also like the Sennheiser 580 and 600. There is a website entitled headwize.com that is totally devoted to headphones, including amps. You may want to check out their forums for more info. I recommend using their search function to save time.
headphone pre-amps
Can anybody comment on the improvements they have noticed with headphone pre-amps vs. the headphone circutry of linestage preamp? I'm thinking of buying a tube headphone pre-amp(possibly by Musical Fidelity), or just use my Senhieser 580's w/the DSP unit. Am I likey to hear a significant sonic improvemnt over the DSP Senhieser unit?
