Would a good headphone amplifier solve my problem here? If so, please recommend one for me. Thanks a lot.

this should be in the amplification forum.

anyway, price range, music tastes, etc?

price range would be around £150 - 200. Generally listen to Jazz, easy-listening, and classic. Thanks a lot.

Hi burrough
I'm using Flacs ripped with EAC through foobar2000 with kernal streaming to an M-Audio Audiophile 192 to a G&W TJ1 amp to 650's and it sounds absolutely superb.
I bought the G&W from ebay new for £100. A headsave classic 2nd hand would also be a good option if you can find one, or a Rega ear works well with the 650's...I think they are £120-£150 new but quite often go for £60-£80 on ebay. I would also say an ANT amber but I'm not sure what Alex is selling them for so it might not be within you budget.

do a search on any of the names listed above, i'm sure you'll be well served by the archives.
