Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: What I do...

Some low-impedance phones will give lumpy bass with a 150 ohm series resistor (or 120 ohms if you want to implement the IEC/IHF standard). Grados among others are said to suffer this problem. Note that I am not a headphone guy myself - but we do have a lot of customers so we get plenty of feedback on what works.

A solution is to make the 8-ohm shunt a voltage divider - for example 5.6 ohms and 2.4 ohms. for more flexibility, 8-ohm L-pads are widely available.
