post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I have decided i am buying Sony MDR-XB1000 from http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sony-MDR-XB1000-Headphones-NEW-preorder-/290543913947?pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item43a5c44bdb Firstly do you think this guy is trusted? I really don't want to get them home and discover there fake. Also can anyone recommend a good amp for these headphones?

Seller looks solid.  The amp I like is my Bellari HA540 OTL amp.  The XB1000 has a recessed sound and wide soundstage.  Th HA540 amp brings back the missing forwardness, but not in your face.  The Bellari should be upgraded with a Mullard 12AX7 tube.  The stock tube is not that great.  Here' s my post on the amp.
