I love love love bass, but I don't listen to rap.  I love to hear cellos and stand up basses and even electronic base in a very powerful way, but I'm also listening to acoustic.  So I guess I want something that's not too hard core, but that will elevate the base when it's there. I was thinking of getting the 64Audio a8's or the a4's, a10's or a12 or the J13/16, or the Noble Kaiser 10, or the dulce.  What would you recommend.  Also im going to be using them every day with my iphone/android, on my compuputer playing games, and through amp/dac for music at home. I don't want to buy anything else EVER.  End game. What would you do?

You'll get dozens of recommendations without a more precise budget range and additional criteria.
I personnaly didn't like the A8, bass was bleeding too much over the mids.
I could add Fidue Sirius, A&K T8ie, CAH 8.2, even Fidue A83 and Adel U3 would qualify for bass.
The other models you listed are all potentials but as I said, you need more criteria to chose properly.

All music can pound the bass.

Agree with tienbasse on the U8/A8. Only chose this if you want loads of bass.

I will recommend another one, Rhapsodio Solar. With bass heavy music it deliver 100 %. Check all the positive reviews, Solar's bass is addictive!

This is a good thread for you to check out; http://www.head-fi.org/t/761433/head-fi-basshead-iem-thread-lists-page-1
 
Yes, it is a basshead thread but those guys don't care only about quantity. It's about the quality, and finding earphones with the potential to make massive amounts of bass through source, eq, mods etc. Not all of the earphones talked about start off as monstrous bass cannons. You want good bass, read over the products they like and get something off their lists. You should be in a good place after that.

Thanks all. This is a tough one.  I'm thinking of going down to Portland and trying out the different 64 Audio A series. If this helps, I bought the LCD-XC and resold it because it was radically insufficient in the bass.  However, loved everything else about it.

Ordered the Noble Kaiser 10, custom. Now just have to wait several months.
