    help compiling a short list

    Hi guys, Long-time audiophile here, who occasionally reads a headphone review, but it's my weakest spot. Ask me anything you like about valve amps etc - more my thing. Anyway, decided ''time for some better cans''. Weirdly, I have lots of decent headphone amplifiers. Right now, I'm sitting...
