Headphone Amps

The David Berning MicroZOTL is a very nice headphone amp.

i just picked up a Grado RA-1 headpone amp from a fellow audiogoner and haven't really used any others but this sounds very good with my Senn HD-600s. It's a battery powered unit, fairly small, and as such it's portable, which should come in very handy on trips. It's relatively inexpensive used and might be something else to look at. Good Luck, Mike.

Suggest you check out the forums at Headwize.com and head-fi.org for more info. Also highly recommend that you buy nothing w/o a rite of return. I have tried 3 different headphone amps-Audio Alchemy, X-cans and Earmax. Only the Earmax was better than what I usually listen thru (Headphone output of NAD receiver) and it wasn't better enough to justify its cost. After trying those 3, I lost interest in them, decided to upgrade my front end and headphones instead-better ROI.
