Need recommendation for amp

[wil 0]

I know, i know....

 

Ive more or less lost touch with the headphone world after getting into speakers.

 

Late nite listening does not allow for Tool and NIN thru my speakers.

 

Was thinking of getting a good amp ( budget is ard 200 ) and MS-2s.

 

I listen to lots of indie/jazz/electronica...Also, i would prefer a tube amp ( a tall order for 200, i know, but im hoping. )

 

I used to have the Cayin HA-1A coupled with Grado 325is in the past and hope to more or less get that same sound i used to love. ( would love to get this again, but budget does not permit. )

 

Thanks alot for the help.

LD2+ for $140 and LD3 for $400+ inc shipping...

 

and a few people are selling their XiangSheng 708B awhile back so you can chk those out too...

 

Yes dude, just placed an order for the LD2+ lol.

How does it sound with a MS2?? anyone?

Hi Haxyer, what headphones are u using?

[haxyer 0]

ms2i. with the little dot amping the ms2i, i find that it gives music more impact and dynamics.
