Hey all.

Back into audio after far too long - I'm realizing that my main system hardly gets any use, and I'd probably get more listening time if I had a little setup in my office. I've decided to go with a Schiit DAC, and I'm currently looking at schematics for some kind of a tube amp to build (probably with triodes, because I'm difficult :-p)

I can't go with open cans, unfortunately, but I was wondering if there's any kind of consensus for what I should be looking at in the under-$500 range in sealed/closed ones. Amplification requirements are obviously flexible, I'll build whatever is needed.

Thanks in advance!
