i need a budget amp. Will be using with the hd650s and am under a budget for the moment. I would like to hear your experiences and opinions as well as other suggestions! thanks in advance!

My experience with cheap fullsize amps has been pretty brutal to date - they sucked big time. That said, I still have the Caliente on my shortlist, and I also wouldnt mind hearing the Corda Swing. If you want Head-Fi keystroke love, its difficult to argue against the glowing reviews for the Nuforce amps.

Thanks! yeah the Corda Swing is an interesting amp but the reason I would prefer the NuForce would be for its built in DAC and also the good reviews I've read about them makes me consider them even more, I just wish I could try them out before I purchase any one of them.
