Definitely, they're probably the best price/performace for those types of music. I use a Meta42 that I built a while back. Initially I was using 1 buffer per channel, but upgraded to two. Stacking the buffers brought the bass quality out quite a bit, and made the sound a bit faster overall. These are extremely fast headphones. I'd say a Pimeta would be a good amp to consider based off my meta42 experience. Hopefully you could get a pair of 501's and a pimeta for around $300, and you'd be set if you have a decent source.
I use the 501/meta42/revo7.1 on my desk at work along with j.river media center's ASIO mode and am very happy.

It LIVES!!!!
Here's a bit of good news: Headsave has resumed limited production of the Go-Vibe amp, at http://www.go-vibe.com/ . Norm's only going to be making a couple of amps a week, but at least it's available for purchase again.

How does this compare to other amps in this price range, like the PocketAmp 2?

Couldn't say personally, but it's gotten a lot of good press around here. There's a thread somewhere around that I think appar111 started, asking for a comparison between the Go-Vibe and the SR-71. General consensus was that they're both great for their price ranges (which are different by a factor of 5-6). Norm also revealed that he's got an SR-71 himself...
