Looking to buy an amp, primarily for use with Sennheiser HD-800. I have only a few ss amps at hand and there is no apparent synnergy with the HD800. In addition, I also feel that the pairing of my SS ampd with the Denon D7000 results in a slightly too prominent bass (probably due to the hp in part and also dependent on the recording) but what's worse, a treble that is a little too hot. The edition 9 seems more at home when paired with my ss amps, it's not as open sounding as the other hp but has impact and punch without sounding aggressive.
SS amps are one Meier amp (the first Head-Fi meier amp), Harmony design EAR90 and Firestone audio Violet. I also have a Creek OBH-21SE at hand but the latter is far too bright for my liking.
I'm leaning towards a tube amp, currently considering Yamamoto HA-02 and Woo Audio 6. Never heard anyone of these though, for those with experience, would either of these make a nice pairing with my headphones. Reviews has indicated that the Yamamoto is generally considered to be on the darker side of neutral which might fit the HD-800 fine. What's the WA6 like?
Thank's
