I have the following headphones:
Sennheiser HD518
Takstar Pro 80
AKG K7xx
I find that plugging straight into my receiver is no good. The Takstars sound just barely ok, but the other two cans sound horrible plugged into the receiver.
So I know I need an amp. I am looking for a good all around amp that well match up nicely with all three headphones,whichever I choose to use at any moment. I have read that the AKGs prefer tubes and this or that one prefer this or that amp, but I do not want to deal with that. I just want one Non-portable amp.
My budget is $100 to $200. I might be able to stretch a little, if it is something truly special. I don't care what size it is as long as it's not portable.
Right now I am leaning towards the Schiit Magni (tiny as it is), but I wonder if it will sound good with all three headphones? I'm definitely open to more suggestions.
Thank you
