It used to be said that there weren’t many decent tube amp options between $500 and $2K. The Quicksilver Audio and the Feliks Audio amps may have changed that, although I’ve not heard them and I don’t know if they synergize well with the HD 6XX or the Auteur. A few solid state amps to consider beside the Jot 2 and Rebelamp are the Monoprice Liquid Gold X and maybe the Phonitor One (and perhaps other Phonitor amps). With the Phonitor, do please read… Etc. Etc. Etc. Before I ever adopted this practice with headphone amps, I was scolded in stores for plugging electric guitars into amps with the volume up. TRS/TRRS plugs momentarily short out, while XLR connect the ground and live wires simultaneously. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.headphones.com/t/rebel-audio-rebelamp-official-thread/12649)._
