wanderman, yeah it's a 32 gig.

pez, they are ep-630's. They're doing pretty well for me but I wouldn't rule out upgrading.

Do go amped on the Touch - huge difference IMO! Seriously, a good portable amp/headphone can do wonders.

Hmm... I would say that RS works well with all of the Grado and Sennheiser. Many of the pint class amps work well with most anything else.

in that case, getting a better source at the same time is pretty reasonable

the touch is said to be just as good as the classics and 5-5.5 gen ipods through LOD. I actually plan to get one. If you like the EP-630's assumenot, I think you'd like the Super.fi 3. They have similare sound sigs, but the SF3's have better highs and less bass.

Is the plug coming out of the amp an attenuator?

Impedance adapter. It's basically a resistor in the signal path to the headphones.

Yep Something like that, but only fixed value of 75ohm.

You actually bring the 650s out?

Brave man.

Not as bad as taking the k1000 for a walk I suppose... [yes, I've seen the video]
