So I just picked up a mini3 from agile_one over the weekend. I love it and I'm totally stoked. However, it seems my headphones are distorting at a volume they should be able to handle just fine (but without the amp couldn't reach). So I'm thinking my drivers may be a little more worn/abused than...

I'm going with a Mini3. Sounds like a great amp at an amazing price. It should more than suit me for the time being.

Your first problem was you bought a mac... not to start a flame war lol . I'm sure there'll be a mac user along to help you out. Sorry it didn't happen in time though.

I'm sure many of you know this already but I figured I'd point it out. My dad told me that on more than one occasion, while going to see a symphony or orchestra, they were making a live recording of it. To do this, they actually brought out a mannequin head which had two microphones placed at...

Interesting, being a Psychology major this makes a lot of sense. I can't believe I hadn't thought about it before. However, I was noticing just the other day how much I HATE my ringtone because its also my alarm sound ("time to get up for [insert unpleasant obligation] you lazy _____") I think...

NICE! I'm excited for you too. I just got my beyer DT770s and I'm in love. I'm already shopping for an amp with cash I haven't made yet haha. Its true what they say... you just barely get your foot in the door and the next thing you know, a massive tiger bites down on that foot drags you...

Right now the two I'm looking at are: Mini3 - $95 http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f42/fs...ni-3-a-406398/ Headstage Lyrix total (upgraded version) - $115 http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f42/sa...argain-371477/ though I'm not sure what qualifies it as Quote: total (upgraded version)...

Well my beyers have barely made it out of the box they were shipped in and now I need to find a portable headphone amp. I'm looking in the under $100 range. Used works great (if it works great ) So I'm searching around, reading reviews, etc. But I figured you guys might have some updated and...

So, since I'm in the amps forum anyway... I'm lookin' for a portable amp of some kind. I know its not a "full size" as per this forum, but I figured while I search and read I'd toss that out there.
