I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

There is some affordable stuff in the Class C section here (affordable for someone seriously considering dropping $1000+ on loudspeakers).
BTW I'm pairing my HD800 with a WA7, and the sound is pretty specular.
I would guess that the D 3020 would work just fine for the LS50's. Are there better amps available? Yes, of course, but it comes down to how much you want to spend.
Some amps that I'd be curious to try with LS50's are the Wyred4Sound mINT (as per http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2013/07/kef-ls50-loudspeakers-w-three-budget-amplifiers/), Music Hall a15.3, Creek Evolution 50A, Exposure 2010S, Naim NAIT 5si, Peachtree Nova nova125SE, Arcam FMJ A19, and a Rega Brio-R.
I can imagine that being a good pairing. Do you have the upgrade tubes? I still want to get them. Sennheisers seem to really love tubes (although I will say, one of the best HD800 setups I've ever heard was an Ayre QA-9 feeding a Headamp GS-X Mk II, which is solid state amp).
