I am new to the portable music player Phenomenon but I now that I have the bug (and a much thinner wallet it seems) I have been seeing a lot of talk re headphone amps and pics of them, especially in the "show me your headphone stands" thread.
What kind of difference can I expect relative to perfomance/price and are some suited to different brands of phones. Will be purchasing either the ER-6i's or ER-4p's. I have the 4th gen 20gb iPod and have heard its output levels are relatively poor. (came accross a windows utility which supposedly increases volume on iPod - anybody actually used it??)
Also if a headphone amp is used with a conventional amplifier what kind of results will I hear.
Damn, this hobby is getting expensive!!
