need headphone amp recommendations

Forget,the 2 you have mentioned,and go with a "Headroom","ANY" Headroom amp.There all good,way better then Creek or Musical Fideilty.Do not buy an Antique Sound Labs either,unless you want to be "continually" replacing tubes.There quality is "very suspect" Ron...

Swing up for a Ray Samuels Audio XP-7 without the power supply (use batteries). Check out Head-fi.org.

Search the archives here... this very same question came up yesterday

Ron007... what do you mean by continually replacing tubes on the ASL? why do you say their quality is suspect? The ASL MG Head OTL amp is very popular with headphone users on head-fi.org...

In response to "Dennis The Menace". The ASL headphone amp,may be liked by people on www.head-fi.org,but that may be the "only" site or people who like them.They have had,and "continue" to have "major" reliability issues.Ask someone at www.headroom,what they think of them.Have known 3 people who owned them,they were all sold within 1 year,for the above fore mentioned reasons.Bottom Line: There "JUNK"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
