Default "headphone amp" or "personal monitor"

Can anyone recommend a low-power high-quality amp, with tone

nothing very appealing.



Why ruin a perfectly good amplifier and headphones with tone controls?
Just get an SPL Phonitor and be done with it.

Or if you don't like that, go to your local thrift store and buy a used
stereo receiver with a headphone jack. It'll be good enough and
shouldn't cost more than $25.




Thanks for your reply, Mike. Your 2nd suggestion of "good enough" is not at
all what I had in mind but the SPL is quite appealing.

The marketing blurbs I see are "pure" ridiculous and make it very hard to
form any opinion at all. Mostly a big waste of hours and really sad.
