    Monolith by Monoprice Tube Headphone Amplifier with ESS Sabre DAC (29511)

    Hey I'm a newbie to tube rolling and just got this recently. Which tubes do you recommend I replace them with? Monoprice is selling Electro Harmonix 6922EH Vacuum Tube would that be a good one for this amp?

    Monolith by Monoprice Tube Headphone Amplifier with ESS Sabre DAC (29511)

    Hey I just picked this up last week as an early Christmas present and I am very happy especially for 190$!

    Advice on Headphone amp needed

    I have not hear the Woo Wa6 but it's supposed to work really well with the 650's. If you have a more limited budget the KICAS Caliente (or regular version) is a really great amp for 250 which I use with my Sennheiser hd580's and they match up really well together.

    Sorry, another HD650 and Amp Thread ($200-300 budget)

    Nice choice, you should be really happy with it. You purchased the regular KICAS not the Caliente right?

    Sorry, another HD650 and Amp Thread ($200-300 budget)

    Kicas Caliente or just regular Kicas sound great with my sennheiser hd 580's (similar to 600) and are on sale for 249.

    AMP for 500$ PLEASE HELP

    I second the K.I.C.A.S which is $250 and also buy a DAC to go along with it either new or used for $250 and you will have great sound.

    Purity Audio's sale on the KICAS and Caliente

    Quote: I have the K.I.C.A.S Caliente, Sennheiser 580's and a Headroom Micro DAC. There is a noticeably improved difference with the DAC and the V-DAC is supposed to be even better than the Headroom.

    $200-250 Headphone Amp

    I have the Kicas Caliente (on sale for 229) and have it paired with a Headroom Micro DAC and Sennheiser 580's. The bass is excellent and the amp has a nice warm and smooth sound that goes well with pretty much anything.
