If you folks decide to allow relative newcomers to the mix, I'd like to attend. My headphone/dedicated amp experience is limited to an Airhead and Ety ER-S, with a PCDP recommended by Headroom, which was all stolen about 4 years ago. I then ventured into home and car audio.
Recently, I decide to rejoin the headphone/dedicated crowd. So far, I replaced the Etys with Shure E5s, and am now in search of an affordable amp (bang for the buck), and eventually, a good source.
The ability to listen to a few hi-grade amps would be a welcome education. I might have found an amp by then (really chomping at the bit), which still leaves sources to listen to as well as some other cans.
Edit: Done chomping; have a Headsave Tempo on the way and a bit more to bring to the table. Double buffers, ALPS pot, tuned for lower Z cans.
I read the "strangers in you home part" and can assure you that I am cootie free.
