Radiohead is so awesome!
Santa was good to Gollie this year. Amp powered up, Cans on, Nikon D40x in hand. Click Click Click... Talk about going into the zone.

This question is probably really stupid but I want to ask anyways. Headphone amps seem simple enough if you know about electronic circuitry to order a board and put one together yourself. Why on earth are they soo expensive compared to decent headphones? From what I have seen so far while researching before buying ad700's, pretty good headphones = $200ish but a good amp cost $300-400 and sometimes higher. Thats without a good outisde dac which piles even more money on top of the headphones + amp. I was thinking about getting an amp till I saw the price and my heart skipped a beat lol.

Well headphone amps don't have to be that expensive, but yes to get an amp that will mesh well with $200 headphones is around $400, but if you can build it yourself it will be cheaper. They have so many components in them that can be upgraded and the like that the price really gets high. We should have a sub-thread for headphones amps: OCN Headphone AMP Club: Because Explaining To Your Family What A Headphone AMP Is Satisfyingly Funny". "It's basically something that makes the sound sound awesome".

Lol and thx for the answers. I think this will be one of my projects when I get a job again and have some extra money to waste. Piecing all the parts together to build an amp and actually making it myself should be good fun.
 I learned the stuff about 5 years ago. I'll just have to brush up on amp circuitry a little bit.
