I had HD580s then bought a microamp along with SR-60s and Ety ER4Ps...and that was before I found head-fi....I've since bought 5 headphones (sold only one..ouch), modded two, and bought 6 more amps (sold two).
My bootleg headphone amp setup back in the day

Spare me.. I knew there were "audio-phile" vacuum tube speaker amps, but didn't know there were actually tube headphone amps.. I didn't even know there were any amps dedicated to headphone music listening period....
I got an AKG K240 Monitor (600 ohms) plugged right to the Abit's motherboard. Sounded muffled and volume control sux. Then built myself a wallwarted crossfeeded cmoy.
I just started recently getting into Hifi and jumped straight into a e500 with an X5. Then just now I pulled the trigger on a Tomahawk. I got to say I'm not disappointed with the supreme sound coming with these oh so $$$ combo. My only regret is that the TH is a little too pricey for something so small
But I am in audio heaven right now with this potent 1-2 combo. I sometimes find listening to my flac or other highly encoded music more pleasurable than gaming or movies or even anime.
