WTB: Fiio E5, Cmoy, or other really cheap amps.

[Benaiir]

Just bought some hungry Beyerdynamic DT-770-250's and I need something to satisfy the high impedance. Not looking to buy a tube amp or anything, just something good for less than $50.

I have an MCS 3830, which is roughly a 3/8's size integrated amp. It has most of the features of a full-size amp, including the ability to power speakers, tho it's just a bit marginal at that, but great for headphones. The face is silver, the case beige/tan. It's old school, heavy for its size. $30 + shipping takes it. Photos and exact measurements are possible if you are interested.

Well my offer for the old headroom still stands. Another option would be to check on craigslist. There are usually a couple of old receivers for sale in Jersey (no namebrand stuff) but should be powerful enough to power up the beyers and pretty cheap aswell around 70 (but hey for an extra 20 you get a receiver). I checked the beyers with the Airhead and its does a pretty good job driving them, not as good as a full sized amp like my canamp but then its a pretty big margin price wise.

I sent you like 4 pm's in the past 3 days and you didn't respond. Do you also have a cmoy or fiio?

[pdupiano]

Found the PM's u sent, umm one of them u say u want to wait till u get the dt770's. Did u try them unampped yet? And the other pm says were about 13 min away which would make trades/sales really easy but aside from that u really don't mention anything else about wanting the amp. Unfortunately I dont have a cmoy or fiio, but if I were to place my bets, a good cmoy should do the trick better than the fiio. But I think a cmoy should be roughly 30 if u make it yourself or 50 on ebay. The headroom should be as powerful if not more powerful than a cmoy and comes with crossfeed aside from that I think either will do the job at that price range. If you're willing to budge a little, an integrated amp/receiver should work fine as well but obv you won't get any means of portability.

I have a Desktop Cmoy that looks pretty sweet and uses a nice OPA2227.

Yeah, portability is always best, just in case I go on a trip to NY with the family, and I'm seriously broke, I think I should write reviews for epinions to get some cash. Lol, $5 an hour.

I've a cmoy - one of those small altoid cans, so its highly portable - which I'm planning to sell, if you're interested. It comes with rechargable batteries (two) and a mini-to-mini cable. Pm me if you're interested. I'll let it go for about 35 dollars?
