Hifi+ reviewer-decidedly not an enthusiast of headphone listening, really loved the Stax offerings he reviewed in a very recent issue...System series two w/ energizer, I believe. Very expensive, and maybe a bit terrifying. Sounds like you have to get strapped in, with a complimentrary bit to keep you from biting your tongue. How real is that!
Ultimate headphone amp?
What are some of the better headphone amps out there for use with HD650's? I have had the Earmax before which was very, very enjoyable. Either tube or "warmish" sounding solid state will do. I have read reviews but not listened to Sugden, SinglePower and RudiStor. I have tried Headmax before but did not like the slightly cold/sterile sound, I prefer the slightly "tubish" or "euphonic" with "richer harmonics" sound. What else should I consider?
