I own Senn HD580 and Grado RS2 cans and use the Creek OBH 11
amp in main system. Right now I am using RS2 straight from portable at my computer, sounds quite good!
I have considered Grado RA1 amp, and would be a step-up in sound from Creek, but battery cost can be significant over time. I believe Grado requires two 9 volt batteries ($6-7)for 40hrs use, I would need to change at least once a month
for annual cost of $70+
If you like tubes the Antique Audio MG Head amp is very cheap retail $279 and looks very cool, here is picture:

I might get one just because they look cool!
