Here’s my story, skip down to the next paragraph if you just want the hear the question
1.Purchase iPod
2.Purchase ER6
3.Return ER6 for ER4P with S cable
4.Purchase Mint amp for portable use
5.Purchase SuperMini (sold quickly, didn’t like it at all)
6.Purchase PPA v1 for office use
7.Purchase SR-325’s for office
8.Return 325’s too uncomfortable for office use
9.Purchase HD580’s for office use
10.Purchase Equinox cable for 580’s
11.VERY HAPPY
12.Sell everything except for iPod and ER4P (for no good reason)
13.Hiatus from HeadFi for a year to recover from this illness
14.(one year later Feb 2005) Hmmm, let me see whats new on HeadFi
15.Wow lots of new stuff, maybe I should try out a new Total Airhead
16.Order new TAH (very happy with it)
17.Need new office cans, Order HD595’s
18.3 weeks later, “man I bet that Micro sounds even better than this TAH”
19.Return TAH, order Micro w/ Micro module (need portability)
20.Get Micro, and moderately happy, but wonder if desktop module is better
21.Thinking maybe the Micro is too laid back for 595’s cans, maybe try SR-71?
22.TODAY
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I listen to mostly rock, and mostly at work. The amp need to be battery powered because I don’t always sit in my office, I have to work in a lab as well. I don’t like the “laid back” sound of Senn’s but they are SOOO comfortable to wear. I use the ER4’s and the 595’s depending on my mood that day. The 595’s seem to sound muffled with the Micro amp compared to just being driven directly from the iPod.
What would you recommend for an amp to run ER4’s, 595’s (possible another set of Grado’s) that’s battery powered.
I’ve done searches and read all the reviews; they just confuse me even more. Does anybody have a similar setup?
Please help out a very confused HeadFi’er
