Are there any headphone amps that will allow vintage tubes ...12ax7s?

W4

Alison Krauss

I don't know if anyone has metioned the westone 2. Very comfortable with great sound . They can be had for around 200 give or take a few.

I haven't heard the 215s. So I couldn't give an objective opinion. I have however auditioned the w2's. They have a great soundstage and there is a definate fun factor without the fatigue. They aren't too forward in the mids like shures tend to be, but again it isn't fair to compare without...

Being a westone owner, I would highly recommend the W2. In all fairness though, I've never tried the others you've listed. What's your source if I may ask?

Holly Cole 'dark dear heart' . Great album with good sq. If you like a good bluesy/jazzy female singer, she's definitely worth giving a listen.

I'm currently using the Neutron player with my galaxy s3. (I was originally using the Bose ie2 earphones and I was pretty happy.) After trying many players, n7, poweramp and winamp to name a few, the Neutron player was the one I singled out. I agree with many of the folks here the UI isn't as...
