Selecting headphones and a headphone amp

I would like to pick up headphones and a headphone amp to use on my BAT system (2 VK-55’s, VK-32SE and VK-D5SE). I love the warm sound of tubes. I have two turntables and listen to analog 75% of the time, so the amp has to accommodate analog and digital. My musical interest includes classic rock, blues and jazz. Distractions are not an issue, so the headphones may be open or closed. I would appreciate your advice and recommendations in selecting equipment, as I am clueless on matching headphone equipment and overwhelmed by the available equipment choices. Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks to all of you. I could not have made this informed decision without you advice and support.

I went with a co-worker to visit his uncle with a killer system. He uses Stax 700 with a Woo WES tube amp. Every cd he played was a real adventure in music. No matter what he played I was blown away with the detailed highs, lows and midrange. There was no gaps or fatigue factor. So ... I found a new pair of 007’s and a 323S amp for a really great price on AudiogoN. I think this was the correct decision and I did not blow my budget. I have the option of upgrading the amp later. Thank you all for your advice.
