I'm trying to decide whether to purchase the DT880/600 or HD650...and I want to just buy both and compare them--return the one I don't want. Only problem is I'd like to have a good amp (all I have is a mini^3 now) to A/B them so I get an accurate comparison. What's a good amp to build for either of these 'phones (suited for higher impedances obviously)? Or will some amps not mix well with one or the other? My budget is around $200-$300...probably not much more than that.
I've looked at the Minimax a good bit--it looks like a solid choice and fairly easy to assemble. I've heard the Bottlehead Crack amp kit mentioned several times...not sure how well it will mix with these 'phones though. I haven't looked into the EHHA Rev A, CTH, CK2III, or Bijou too much though (or any other amps in the price range). Overall, I want something not extremely hard to build that also doesn't require a ton of casework.
Any suggestions/comments?
