How many headphone amps have you OWNED?

Musical Fidelity X-Cans V2
Headroom Total Airhead
Headroom Airhead
Headroom Maxed Out Home
Sonic Frontiers Line 1 Preamp (with Headroom Circuit)
Home Brewed Portable Headphone Amp (built & tweaked by an audiophile friend to sound exactly like the portable Grado amp)

I still have the X-Cans V2 (with JJ Tubes) & X-PSU, the original Airhead and the Home Brewed Portable. The best amp of the lot was (to my ears) the Sonic Frontiers Line 1 Preamp, but I couldn't live with the unit as a preamp for my main system with its stock tubes, and didn't I want to throw $1,300 at a dedicated headphone amp at that point in time. I may get another in one of these days (or a Line 1 or 2 SE, which include better tubes) and retube the unit (which apparently is mandatory for this unit) with NOS tubes.

3 for me - an Airhead, a JMT-built CHA 47 and a brand new, just-took-it-out-of-the-box RA-1 (Ya-Hoo)!

I currently have 3:

Headroom Cosmic (2 years old)
Airhead--no longer working, battery leak!
Total Airhead

I'm seriously contemplating either a Maxed Out Home or Max to add to the collection (along with a Cardas or Equinox cable for my Senn 600s)!

JMT, I see you have a new Headroom Max in your avatar . . . will you be building those, too, in addition to your CHA-47's?
