But, this thread is for headphone amp for normal headphones. Not those slutty AKG that willing to hook up with anything

Oooh... Really nice! However, I still think it's second to the Orpheus, regardless of percieved hardware store mayhem

I think the EAR/Yoshino V20 is the most attractive-looking amp.

Since somebody dusted off this thread, as the owner of a Sugden Headmaster, I'm obligated to chime in. I suspect that many of the folks who voted for the Headmaster have never seen one in person.
I say the Headmaster WOULD be the best looking headphone amp, except for the ugly graphics on top, including an awful graphic depiction of headphones (duh, I know what it's for, I don't need a picture on top), and bold black text reading "Handcrafted Audio Products" (I know it's an audio product, and I don't care to tell the world whether or not it's handcrafted).
I actually removed these graphics from the brushed aluminum top plate of my unit (not an easy task, which took over an hour to do without marring the surface). Now I have a true beauty. Therefore, I could reasonably nominate MY Sugden Headmaster as the best looking headphone amp... (
However, my vote goes to the Zeus.

Well, this is kind of cheating, but when I am listening to my K1000s, it is with this as an amp:
I think it is a very good looking headphone amp.

It sure is a classy looking piece of kit, congrats!
But I still find the EAR/Yoshino V20 more attractive.

Pretty cool, innit?

It does look mighty fine, although it reminds me of a retro-futuristic space ship from an early Star Trek movie. (See photo...)
