Looking for HD650 Amp.(musical fidelity M1 HPA?)

Hey guys, I would to like to hear your opinion about which amp to get with HD650s.  I mainly listen to rock and electronica music and would want an amp to enhance those types of music.

On a related note, I went to my local high end audio store today and listened on musical fidelity's M1 HPA, that thing is a dream with crazy silence on high volume.  Does anyone on this forum recommend this amp or perhaps a better one?

I prefer tube amps with the HD650...what is your price range?

Mike(aka Pink Floyd) over at Rock Grotto is blowing bubbles about the Panda amp here: http://rockgrotto.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=m&action=display&thread=5700

He's a long time MF head amp modification guy and has been totally put off by MF recently (check out his rant on the M1 thread).. 

IF you aren't DIY oriented, and are located in the UK, he might even build a Panda for you..

Around the same budget as an M1, about 800 bucks

I am using a GS-1. It's a bit more in price but it works well with my HD650. Try that or one of its cousins from that company. Their stuff seems to work well on most cans from what I have read. By mid-next year, I will hopefully try it on K702 for a comparison. :)
