I am in love with these headphones.

Have you heard them through an amp. If so, does the sound improve a lot when paired with an amp?
When I had them, I used the Images with either my Portaphile or Tomahawk with a 5.5g Imod. I thought they were too "bright" andat the time were comparing them to Triple Fi and Sleek. That said, though, others tell me they get really better with a tubey-sounding amp like Xin's products. Bushguy especially likes his with his Reference. So don't know. If I could find a reasonably priced Xin amp, or the Millett Hybrid, might retry them but with my two amps didin't like them as much as the Triples. Just too "sterile" without the fullness or warmth of Triples.
