When amped through WA6 (What I used to have), the differences were day and night.. Literally, day and night for ME.

I am hoping it'll be similar with WA22.

Yup I bought my TF 10's for use with my Iphone 3G at work, I was shocked how bad the 3G sounded even with well recorded ALAC lossless tracks, I tried them on a 4G and the same poor sound they really showed the Iphones up.

I then bought a Walkman NWZ-A845 what a difference Audiophille heaven again even 320kbps MP3's

Next I'm going see whether I get a further improvement through a Graham Slee Solo.

 

Sir, you are a necromancer.

I use a RSA P-51 with mine and I was amazed at how much it improved the soundstage and tightened up the bass.  Obviously volume isn't an issue with low impedance highly sensitive IEM's but even so I originally bought my P-51 to go with my Grado SR-225's and I actually use it more often with my UE's now.  Every aspect of the sound is just tighter and more instantaneous, plus it seems to have widened the sound to get rid of that "in your head" sound so commonly associated with IEM's.  I don't know if this is amps in general or just the P-51 but either way a P-51 and UE Triple.fi 10's seem to be a very good combo.  One of the best I've heard in a while.

Need? not really. Benefit with? yep.
