500+ Head-Fier
I've searched, but after seeing several different recommendations, and the possibility of new products in the marketplace, I figured I'd make my own thread..
I'm currently running the ASUS Xonar Essence ST with a Presonus HP4 amplifier to my HD650's.
While the HP4 sounds good through the bulk of the frequency range, it has too much top end to it, and I find myself fatigued quickly.
I've tried tubes, and I prefer the sound of solid state. What can everyone recommend for my setup? I'd like some extra power on tap in case I move to the HD800's.
I really don't want to spend more than $500, and preferably less, but if there's something a little out of my budet that is THAT good, I might make an exception.
Let me know what you think!
