Preferably a seasoned head-fier who'd keep it up-to-date. I almost started doing it, but can't I figure out how it should actually be composed. More on that below.

It should at least include separate categories for SS/Tube/DIY, Sennheiser/Grado/Beyerdynamic/AKG etc. most common headphone brands and so on. It would probably need several tables divided either by amp technology, headphone brand, or some other factor. Get complicated quickly. Especially 'cause you would possibly even have to bundle some individual headphones together (such as Grado SR -series separate from RS). Guess it could be one huge table too, but it would have to be made well to be readable enough.

List price: $1,795 (only available direct from manufacturer)
Current "street" price (used only if no longer in production): -
Type of amp: solid state
Stock tubes (only if tubed): -
Crossfeed?: no
Other processors?: no
Portable?: Not likely
Power supply: AC
Detachable power cord?: yes
Number of headphone jacks: 1
Jack output impedance: not specified (quote from website: "The output impedance of the headphone jack is so low, that any headphone with the appropriate plug should work optimally.")
Jack output: not specified (quote from website: "The Panache headphone output does not differ from the main output path except for the addition of a simple protection device. ")
Jack type: 1 x 1/4''
Inputs: 4 RCA unbalanced
Other outputs: line level record out
Speaker output rating: 100wpc @ 8 ohms; 200wpc @ 4 ohms
Possible upgrades/upgrade path: ?
Housing material: ugly black steel
Size (dimensions): 17" w x 4.5"h x 12"d(W x H xD)
Weight: 33 pounds

Other: Quote from manual: "The Portal Panache is an integrated amplifier with a passive preamp section and a high gain amplifier section. The signal from source passes through only one Alps selector and one Alps attenuator, both selected for their neutrality, before going directly to the amp input."

I personally have found this amp to be susceptible to ground loops. In particular, connecting a TV's output to the amp creates a strong hum, audible at listening distances and very audible through headphones. I've since completely isolated the amp from the TV system, with no audible hum present at all now.
