This goes along with my other thread.

Which amp to drive my k271's??

Ear+ (slightly over limit, but i like the way it looks)
PPA
PiMETA


what other ones are out there??
How do they sound?
Why should i build it?

Why don't you try to go to some meets so you can hear a couple of these different amps? Let your ears be the judge

I know this decision is just killing you. Maybe someone will loan you a PPA or PIMETA for a modest fee or favor or something?

If I had one I'd loan it to you

 

[brschmid]

if there were any meets in my area, that would be an option.

Well, you can't get a PPA for less than 300, so that's out of the picture.

 

[davei]

I presume you want to build these amps yourself (or are looking for a DIY design)? Otherwise you'll get more responses in the Amp forum.

Anyway, if you skimp around on a few things and find good deals on parts, you could maybe build a PPA for under $300.

DIY

That's funny cause I just built a PPA and a Steps for very close to $300.
You just have to be smart and shop around a little bit.

 

[brschmid]

there is an amp that a fellow member make PCB's for that looks promising.

morgan jones should be under 300$ in parts.

so such be the SDS

There's always Pete Millett's DIY tube hybrid. Should be able to build this kit for $200 or less with some judicious parts shopping ($150 for parts, $40 for the ready-made PCB).

Hi,

Oops I was wrong. I forgot. But I still remember there was quadraphonic headphones ...

You might also want to look at the Gilmore Lite, it runs around $250.

ooo, i like that! i kinda want a tube amp. the Ear + is way out of my range now. i had to upgrade some computer parts.

I have made that one, you can indeed do it for under $200. Pretty nice little amp. Jamont has also made one, so a search will bring up some further info on it.
