well i need a decent home amp for both my DT770 and HD600. i heard good things about the match with the arietta and beyers but i'm curious about the HD600/Arietta combo. is there a better amp out there around the same price that is good for both cans as well? i prefer SS vs. tube tho i ave never tried tubed. which would be better for these cans?

The Arietta / HD600 combo is a good one, to my ear.

If you like what you've read (or heard) of the pairing of a Meier amp with Beyers, the quality of the pairing of the Arietta with HD600 would not be a show-stopper, IMO.

I've found Todd the Vinyl Junkie to be a very good source for Headphone gear, and he sells the Arietta.

Best wishes on the growth and development of your listening rig(s).

I had a Headfive(arietta) with my HD580, and it was good, but not very lively. I'd look at tube amps in that price range, I'm much happier with my MKII/HD580 combo than I was with the Headfive.

yeah but how will an mkII sound with my DT770s?

I recently sold an HD580 that I had paired with the Meier Opera. I really didn't care for them and I believe it was part hp and part amp as in the pairing just didn't do it for me.
