This is probably not the typical answer - but I was after the same thing and got an original master (under $200)- used the extra money for an iron lung power cord for its power supply and a good set of cables and am very, very pleased with it - use the rest towards a source

That was one of the most hilarious original post I've read in a long time. First eargasm, lol.

Anyway, maybe you should try some IEMs with that $300 budget. I think that's the best way to get a quickie on the cheap, if you know what I mean.

Darkvoice 336i (all tube), or G&W T2.6F (tube/SS hybrid). The G&W is a little more tight and solid statey, but less emotionally involving, but a fine, affordable head amplifier just the same. The HeadFive (all SS) was an emotionally involving amp, too, IMHE. : )

LOL!

It is bad that I can't wear IEM... Definitely though I am going custom when I can afford them.. the only semi-IEM I could wear was the BOSE IE

You should try the Yuin PK-1, amazing! Not an IEM but a bud.
