[QUOTE="alphabet, post: 46043, member: 11"] I don't own a set of top headphones, but even with my measly Senn 515s I have found the HP output of the majority(if not all) Integrateds made them sound very dull. Okay when I initially tried the HPs on the NAD 320BEE I had at the time, I was quite impressed, but after hearing what they sound like using my Nuforce Mobile headphone amp, I could NEVER go back to using them with an Integrated. Demoing HP's is off course quite a schlep and the only way you may accomplish that would be to cart your source with you. Some of the guys at Sound & Cinema(Claremont) have no problem taking a set out of its packing and letting you try it out using your own source. Prince in your price range I would recommend the Senn 515s or perhaps the 555s, but don't expect to be blown away if you connect it to your Arcam as you will only realise the capabilities of your chosen headphones once you start using a dedicated HP amp.
