First off I have used the search

...but I couldn't find anything specifically for my situation. I am looking at getting an amp for my new phones, but most of the suggestions on other threads have been out of my price range. I'm looking at spending ~100-150 USD. I know this doesn't leave me with many choices, but I just can't afford anything more expensive atm. What I'm looking for in my amp is good soundstage and seperation, and a bit of a darker sound to counter my slightly bright dac. I like the idea of a ss tube hybrid, but Im not sure if that will make my sound brighter still. The main amps I have been looking at are the starving student, the little dot I+ and the mini^3, but I of course will differ to those of you who are far more knowledgeble in this than I am
Cheers

try a LIL dot II. like my D2000's a lot on this amp. The starving student also drives these cans nicely. But I seem to always go back to the Lil dot amp.
