turk99 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I've had my eye one Schiit Magni Uber 2. Are there any other headphone amps under $150? It needs to have preamp outputs for my speakers and auto switches when the headphones are connected or not (though if there is a manual switch on the front I'm ok). I'll be using Grado SR60e headphones. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I always recommend Schiit products. What's the source going to be for the amp, since those Grado's don't need any extra drive outside of a normal headphone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Crosley Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 You really can't beat the Magni 2 Uber for the price and the option to output to speakers. The O2 amp is also great in that range but I don't think it has a pre out. My experience with tube amps under $200 is that they're pretty hit or miss, and often need considerable tube upgrades for them to sound worthwhile.
