I'm loving everything I've read about the JVC DX1000 but if I buy it I can't spend too much for an amp. Most people seem to use them with Woo Audio 2/6se etc and other expensive amps. However I can't spend that much anytime soon. I'm looking for a cheaper amp that would work well with my Grados too and other headphones I might buy later but it should work really well with the DX1000. I think I read a post where someone loved his with his Audio GD C-2.1 (now replaced by C-2.2). Any other inexpensive amps work well? Anyone try it with a Bellari HA540? I tend to prefer tubes but solid state is fine too. I get the impression that with these headphones more power is better, anyone tried any of the Schiit Audio amps?
 
Thanks,
 
Joshua

Thank you, I was checking out the other Audio GD amps, they seem like a good value and very robust (powerwise).
 
Also looks like Ray Samuels XP-7 is used by someone too, pushing by budget with that one though. All good amps (Ray Samuels Audio) from everything I've heard though.

 You could always opt for the Dark Star - you could say it's powerful with a potential for 9 Watts 

 
 Just a lazy $3,000USD or so - bargain, take two!

you should also wait for the new (unreleased yet) meier audio amp.
 
mapletree audio amps are great, too. and they have a great synergy with grados
