500+ Head-Fier
Just curious, because of their significantly different impedances, I know a lot of amps only do one or the other. Is there one that would fit both?

Hybrid headphone amplifier, uses both tubes and solid state.
Does the headphone amplifier have to have tubes?
Did you have a budget for this new headphone amplifier?
It's more of a curiosity than a suggestion for a purchase, and I'm asking about pure tube--no hybrids. I know there are hybrids out there that will get the job done, Project Sunrise II comes to mind. Personally, I think I'm pretty set on the Asgard 2, but a future upgrade to OTL might be nice for the HD650.

I'm guessing the tubes are hidden under that blue thing
Nope, no tubes, but as the OP is thinking of getting the Asgard II (no tube), I'm guessing he is willing go tubeless.
I am. But that is not the purpose of this thread, in which I'm just trying to ask whether or not there exists a pure tube amp that can power both HD650 and Grados.
