    Bad post, just a list;
    Yet other concerns exist:
    Order must persist!

    I really like the Valhalla 2 with my HD800. It's a nice contrast from my AGD NFB-28.

    Rando infusion
    brings Head-Fi-esque confusion.
    Friends disillusioned.

    I thought the Nuforce HA-200 sounded good with my HD800 back when I owned it. But keep in mind that I don't have a lot of experience with different amps.

    Being one of the few people who actually used to own the monoblocks, I quite liked them and thought they were a good match with the HD800 though they most definitely imparted a warm flavour to the sound.

    The first batch of Cavalli Audio Liquid Carbon was 600$ which is a little bit over of your threshold, but boy, that amp is just a killer for that price with any headphones I hooked up with! (HD800, JVC DX 700, HD25 1-II, Beyer T1). Sometimes you can catch a used one in classifieds over at HEad-fi for 600-650$. That's how I got mine.
