I just want to get a set of grado headphones or possibly shure for this built in headphone amp. What model would be a perfect match?

Agree with Douger that open vs. closed would be the key deciding issue for me.

As a data point, I've heard grados with tube amplification (entry level little dot amp) at a headphone meet and it was a good combination. The 'color' of the sound was a bit richer. And while the sound was still up front, the qualities of the tube amp backed it off a bit, in a way that I liked.

I've never heard the Shures, so I can't give you any help there.

  It would also be good to know if the built in headphone amp derives its sound from the tubes or is a separate op amp.

Grado's are so easy to drive, any model would match up fine. I am sure that the Shures would be fine as well. So the question is, what is your budget and do you need open or closed backs?
