Hello everyone!
I am new to this forum but I have been following this forum for quite some time now and I am in need of some help!
For a year or so, I have been using a Solid-state amp: Little Dot MKV paired with a Sennheiser HD650. I am using a Marantz CD 6002 as my source.
Now that I am kind of familiair with the whole audiophile thingie I thought it was time to upgrade my amp. But wait a minute? Tubes, Tuberolling!? This is very new to me and I would like to make a note that this will be my first tubed-amp ever!
My budget will be around 600 dollars and I would like to maintain my source as it is now paired with the Sennheiser HD650.
I will most likely listen to: Jazz, Funk, Soul and Hiphop (the real hiphop and not the kind of things you hear and see on TV)
I already made a list of the amps that might be good for my wallet and the kind of music I am listening to?
- Audiotailor Jade
- Litte DOT MK III or MK IV?
- Head-Direct EF1 or 2?
- Antique Sound Lab OTL?
Last but not least I was looking at the Woo Audio 6. This would be at the top of my budget but would it be worth it? We don't like to go over budget unless it will be a monster upgrade!
My question for you men (and women), would be to recommend me an amp that suits both my gear and the preferred music. Maybe I overlooked some amps that would be nice too!
