I'm looking at a bunch of different tube amps for my Sennheiser HD700, but it's hard to decide on one.
For example is the "extra" price of amps such as Woo WA3 ($599) or Elise ($689+) worth it/necessary compared to getting a somewhat cheaper amp such as Valhalla 2, Lyr 2, Little Dot MK4 etc.?
I mean: How do you know if one of the cheaper amps will be plenty sufficient, or if what you really want is to save up for one of the more expensive amps?
I know it's probably an impossible question to answer but I could really use some help/guidance.
Does it boil down to this: Get the best one you can afford that has the features you want?
I've never heard a tube amp in my life but I keep reading that it's an excellent choice for HD700.
