hi there,

i want to buy an amp to power my electret headphones and i was thinking about the Pop Pulse T70i T-Amp or the TRENDS TA-10 .1 CLASS-T AMP. I will not hook speakers to the T-amp. Just the headphones and my ipod in the line in inputs.
Any ideas please?


thanks
tio

I run these either via two Toshiba M15 amps running bridged into mono or a single M15 into stereo, an Aurex receiver or via my Nakamichi 620 amp.

I've also powered it off my Firestone Big Joe which is probably the closest to the Trends in terms of output.

The ATH-9000s respond to a powerful speaker amp. The bigger the better so far as I can tell.
Based on what I've heard so far, I'd pass on the Trends and get myself something a little bigger and more powerful.

If the cable you posted a picture of is terminated with a 4-Pin balance plug you can use the t-amp to drive phones like the K1000 or the HE6. You can also use a t-amp to drive electrostatics via an energizer box.
