Last year I purchased a Headroom little specifically because I liked the upgrade path. I'm ready to upgrade and while I've been very happy with the Little, I'm wondering if there are other options I should consider instead.

At the NYC Head-Fi meet this past May, I really liked the Gilmore V2. I'm not ready to spend that much on an amp yet in one shot so I'm considering the Gilmore Lite. Anyone have an idea how the Little More Power would stack up against the Lite? I know the Lite hasn't shipped yet, but based on the specs could anyone come up with an arguement for either one? I'd also probably have to get a Pink Floyd crossfeed since I really like the crossfeed on the Little.

The other big question is if I decide to keep the Little, would I be better off upgrading to the More Power or Premium versions? I know this topic has been discussed in a number of threads but there seem to be a number of different opinions. Could someone please explain what the advantages to each upgrade is? To be honest, I may upgrade to the More Power and the Premium but I'll have to see how much I have in my budget.

Also, would the decision to upgrade to either the More Power or Premium be dependent on what headphones I'm using and my source? I'm currently using Grado 325's and Senn 580's with the Equinox cable. My source is my ancient Technics SL-P220 cdp that I've had for over 16 years. I haven't the foggiest idea what the specs are on it, but I'm guessing they're pretty decent.

Also, how would a Little More Power, Premium, or More Power and Premium compare to a maxed out Meta which is another option I may consider? Thanks.
