Hi!

I've tried K701 and I really loved them, but they aren't that great for heavier stuff and metal. I didn't like HD600 that much and my earlier Senns had bad build quality so I think I'm getting DT880. Grados are out because of the price and (dis)comfort.

Heed Canamp is said to be great for K701 but doesn't seem to be popular with DT880, though I haven't tried myself. So is there an amp that is good for both or is the only choice to get two amps (I may have to sell my parents' house for this though

)? What about Graham slee solo?

Thanks in advance!

Exactly what I'm going to recommend. Pairs wonderfully with either phones.

what about ps audio gcha?

IMO both headphones would pair better with a tube amp rather than a solid-state, for both sonic and technical reasons.

I've got a Dynalo (DIY Gilmore Lite) and I recommend it highly. It does a great job with my K701s, my RS-1s and all of my Sennheisers.

If you can afford, Corda Opera.
Corda amp mostly paired with Beyer cans, but in this case Opera can drive any kind of dynamic headphones. (maybe not K1000)

I love the Meier Corda Opera with the DT-880. I hear the K701 sounds excellent with it also.

Opera or Graham slee, the graham slee is Senn's official demo unit, or so I hear.

Bada PH-12, Darkvoice 336i and G&W T2.6F, in that order. : )
