I'm not gonna be upgrading my phones anytime soon (saving up for RS-2, but LATER!), and I do love my woodied/tape-modded SR-60s but I wonder if the PA2v2 can give me the kind of bass the tape mod does so I can take it off. Been reading around here about how Grados need more current, but will that amp make a SIGNIFICANT difference over my dear little CMoy? If not, then any other sub-$100 amp? Don't care if it's not portable.

SEE PROS & CONS. NOTE: The clamping factor will obviously differ from person to person, but I'm surprised to find little mention of it, as it is the sole reason I'd never think twice about...

When I listened to the sound for the 1st time, I was hit by it. I was punched by the not-punchy-bass. I was hoping it would offer much better bass response than SE315.. equals to Klipsch Image...

I've owned both of them, but at separate times. I think that combo will do the trick.

I've got my PA2v2 right next to me for my Alessandro MS-1i's and they work great. Considering that MS-1i's are basically modified SR-125s, i think they will help SR60s excellently as well.

The PA2v2 we the first headphone amp I purchased, to go with my SR-80's. I think for the price, it will suite your needs. That, and Gary (guy who makes the amps) is a good guy and offers exceptional support for his product.

You might also want to look into the JBS Labs Bass Boost CMOY, which is what I use with my SR60s. It gives the bass a pretty good shot in the arm without much coloration to other frequency ranges (that I can hear, anyway).
