After waited 3 months, there's still no word about when my Sugden headmaster's going to be delivered. As much as I'd like to have the amp, I'm so fustrated that I'm ready to give up on the idea of owning it. I'm now shopping for another amp. I'd like to ask you folks for opinions. I'm not too crazy about headroom amp (other than the fact that there's no long wait to get the amp). I had bad experience with tube amp, so I haven't had another tube amp in 15 years, but I'm open to this idea of tube amp again since there isn't any SS option beside headmaster in this price range (or is there?)
Right now I have RKV Mark II + Impedancer and earmax pro on my list.
RKV Mark II + Impedancer is more expensive than headmaster. Also availability seems unpredictable (especially the impedancer). I'm afraid that I'll have to wait months again.
Earmax pro: I really don't know much about this amp, I only know it's about the same price range as headmaster. Does it have enough juice to drive low-Z phones? I have AT W2002 and Sony F1. Does anyone have experience of these phones with the earmax pro?
Please, any opinion on these amps or any other amp suggestion is appreciated. I mostly listen to classical music. And I'm not really into DIY/tweaking/tube rolling kind of stuff. I just want a decent amp that I can enjoy music with.
Thanks for your help.
