Hello, the title sums it up, but to elaborate a bit on the details:
A newly acquired pair of Denon AH-D5000 headphones already deliver great sounding audio waves running from the headphone-out of an EMU 0404usb. And JBL LSR2328P powered studio monitors also deliver the goods out of the EMU's DAC line-outs. However, would like to jump into the fascinating world of tube amplification and hear what there is to hear in sonic changes and improvements.
There seem to be several tube-hybrid amps out there that are said to do very well with Denons, but does anyone know of any tube headphone amps of any variety ( < $1K) that do well with such low-impedance cans; and with the addition of line-outs that can be used to warm up the sound of powered monitors as well?
