Grant Fidelity, yeah I've heard of them on head-fi (I am also a headphone fanatic as you can see by my headphone listening station, which includes the very warm sounding Bottlehead Crack amp.)

Wow that is an awesome looking collection.
I review for dagogo - but I have taken a teaching job in Hong Kong where apartments are smaller. I notice that our magazine has not really done much on the headphone front. I brought my HD 600s and Total Bithead with me as a baseline. Although I like several other headphones.
Looking at your shelving system I rather like this idea and if I ever go back to the west it is much cheaper and easier to pack headphones. Now to find some dealers in HK selling top flight headphones, headphone amps and a CD player and USB Dac that will serve as a premium unit. I always say - good headphone based systems are the cheapest way to very high end sound. A general rule of thumb is 10-20 to 1. A good $10k stereo will compete with a $1k headphone rig. Some exceptions.
The Grant Fidelity that I reviewed was not a tube headphone amp. The new one might be. They have an integrated amp for around $2k that looks extremely interesting as it has a full tube headphone amp section with internal USB DAC. This amp was designed by Grant Fidelity unlike the Tube Dac-09 which is a re-badged Chinese brand.
Since you are in HK, maybe look into some of the Little Dot gear, their Mk VI balanced headphone amp is fabulous with my HE-5LE headphones. And it can serve as a tubed preamp to boot.
