Band-limited sidechain vs band-limited compression

Hi there! I’ve been experimenting with the Waves Renaissance Channel plugin , and particularly the “Push the pop master” preset. It’s a pretty simple process. First, a +2db low-shelf at 250Hz and a +4dB high-shelf at ~ 3.3KHz. The EQ stage is followed by a compressor operating over the full mix, but with the side-chain bandpass filtered at 120Hz.

Headphone Amps

I know this has been done to death but can anyone recommend a good, loud headphone amp. Or an alternative which will provide loud headphone mixes.

We're currently using a Beh****** Powerplay HA4000, and while this is adequate and provides the amount of separate mixes we need, it never seems to be loud enough. Particularly for the doom metal clients we seem to attract.
