Hi everybody, I am a new member, I would like to buy a "GOOD" but not too expensive headphone amp around €200-250 max and I am a bit confused...I am currently auditioning a Creek OBH-11 borrowed from a friend and using a AKG K141 monitor as cans, but i am not really convinced by the OBH-11.
I have read many threads but this, I must say, contributed to my indecision as to which amp would suit me best

Thanks for your help

The Creek OBH-11 is also one of the first amps I ever tested using good quality headphones. IMHO, you should visit your local hi-fi store with your headphone and CD to test their setup, whether it is SS, tube or hybride you like.

The only advice is don't rush with your cash.
