Thanks for that, "coffee house" is what I'm going for. I would like to get Momentum 2s, but for the price I could also get HD600s and a Magni, so that wouldn't happen anyway. I'm a firmly Budget-fi/Mid-fi listener.

Consensus is that the starter tube amp is the Schiit Vali.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm looking into it. I'm gonna go listen to some cans at the one place in town I can first.

First post, but long time lurker. I own a Fiio X1 and a pair of HIFIMAN RE-400s which I love,  but IEMs wear on my ears and I don't like wearing them for more then the length of Bachelor-level grocery shopping, so I'm looking for high quality portable, closed back headphones for longer listening...
