these amps seem to be the "in" amps for the k1ks these days. why no tube amp mentions? given that they are often described as bordering on harsh you'd think tube mellowing would be great pairing with these phones, no?

I would strongly suggest an amp from Pass Labs, First watt, or Red Wine Audio. So you are basically looking at the cost for the K1000s + about $1,000 to $1,500 for a proper amplifier. |
