I have a Beyer DT770 and an AKG K 172 HD. I listen to mostly Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Hip-Hop and Dubstep. What I want to know is what are the best sub $200 dollar amps for my needs; I'm willing to go used or new. I'm interested in Tube amps because of the reverence people use to describe them but I'm also curious about solid state amps. I was looking at the Bravo Audio lineup of amps

I'm open to all suggestions and sales!
Thanks

I really like the Total Bithead from Headroom in that price range.  It includes a USB DAC so you can use with a PC as an external DAC as well as a headphone amp.  They run anywhere from $150 or less.  I have had mine for years with no problems.
