Best Amp $150> ?

Hi all, Just joined this forum to ask this:) I've just ordered Shure SRH-1840 and I want to do them justice by getting a descent headamp as well. The first question probably should be, do you need to buy a dedicated headamp for these 65 Ohms headphones? If the answer is...- noisebass
