Hello all,

i am a newbi to this forum and to the world of headpphines. For years i have been listening to stereo music on soeakers. currently i have a few tube amplifiers including Macintosh MA2275 and SETs that i use to drive my KEF a d JBL's.

just got the sennheiser HD800 and iriver ak120 and am not looking to get into electroststic world. My budget is 10,000 usd And if the headphone is SR009, which amp would you recommend and why ?

- a10 thunderbolt

- woo audio Wes

- blue Hawaii


Any other recommendations are most welcome but please no solid state, even the premium denon pma 7000 is too artificial and bright for me (with HD800).


For example, Besides the sound quality one point does go in favor of Wes- 100-240v supply. Not a problem for most but I reckon at some point of time I will live in a 220v location and hence the ability to switch input voltage is a plus.


What else should I be considering ?


Ps: budget includes buying Sr-009 as well. However I can find it around 3.5KUSD so amp budget is 65k


Appreciate your inputs !
