Budget Amp For K702's Please

I know you said you'd prefer to avoid tubes, but if you'd consider a hybrid amp the Millet Hybrid does a good job on my K701's and since there are only a few tube choices there is not much chance of going crazy tweaking and tube rolling.

The price can be very reasonable used or you can D-I-Y if you wish to have a go at it.

You must have a bigger budget for K702. Amping it is not easy on the limited budget line. You might be frustrated with its sound quality. Try saving for better amps out there.

I used an old Pioneer stereo receiver's 1/4 headphone with surprisingly good results.

Having said that, I would not advise these AKG's if improperly amp'd.

You may want to get an easier to drive headphone and try to stick with your budget on the amp.

Here's a review I wrote recently...
