So, I just got some new headphones for Christmas. Nothing really special, but they do seem to do the job for the time being (Sennheiser eh 150). I was curious as to if I got an amp would it improve the quality? I would imagine it would boost the overall max sound of the phones and add Bass, but other than that I'm at a loss.

So the question is what are tube amps for exactly, and where are good places to shop for someone in the US? I really just wanna pump music in to my ears louder than I can as of now, but I would hate to have shit quality while doing that...

Any advice anyone?

PA2V2 amp would be the best for you for now

Tube amps would be awesome with some higher end headphones.So don't spend on those unless you're planning to get akg K701

AKG K701 is the only highend phones?
:d you make it sound that way hehe.

I have a XCAN V3 and Sennheiser HD650 sounds great, The XCAN is a hybrid though not a pure tube amp.

Pretty good choice I suppose. Meier Audio has good equipment.

Right now I'm running an iBasso D10 through to my Audio-Technica ESW10JPN's.
