Last night, I had just finished fixing a pair of old KOSS HV/1 headphones that I had picked up for free off of Craigslist, and Apostrophe provided a good test of their capabilities. And their capabilities are pretty impressive. They are designed to have a frequency response of 15 hz to 30k hz. At the time they were made - the early 70s - their open back was a revolutionary design. They are considerably lighter than my old Koss Pro 4A.

I'm thinking my first foray into tubes might be a headphone amp.

Everyone is telling me Bottlehead Crack, if you're thinking DIY. It's a simple build and cheap at ~$200.

If you don't want to do DIY, have a look at, and I hate to say it, 'cuz they're Chinese....But Little Dot makes awesome 'phone amps for little scratch. Could prolly pick one up, used, off of ebay for less than $100.

I think Chas runs a Little Dot.
