Which Amps to Consider for Grado SR-325i ?
I thought they sounded ok with the Burson amp, but I could not listen to them for more than an hour without becoming fatigued, I would like to try them again on my new gear but I have so many other headphones I want first- Cliff-Samuels

finding an amp for HD650.
Ah so that's what that is, thanks. Hope you find what you are looking for, I am starting to believe that the HD650's really want more & more power, I thought they were good on the Burson but better on the latest amp I have which has something like 6 watts output, so look for an amp that...- Cliff-Samuels

I think the HD650's are one hell of a headphone once you get the right amp, I can listen to them for hours & hours...- Cliff-Samuels

Do "I" really need a headphone amp?
I have the HD650 too, some people use them on sound cards & ipods, but I have found like many they sound best when you give them a proper amping, but that costs money.- Cliff-Samuels

AKG K702 sound degradation from plug + internal wiring?
