What do you think about the Can Opener?
It works wonders with my NAD 3020, It has better decay, and is great with low impedance headphones (most receivers have a pretty high output impedance for their jacks), among many other things. I highly recommend it.- Sir Tmotts III

Does a vintage receiver cut it as a headphone amplifier?
I'd say you'd be pleasantly surprised with your amps if you got a can opener from vinyl flat. I use mine with my NAD 3020 and it's wonderful. EDIT: Review from stereophile: http://www.stereophile.com/content/entry-level-31- Sir Tmotts III

Is the FLAC format "outdated"?
I tried rockbox for a few weeks, I didn't like the UI compared to Apple's, and just called it a day and convert all my stuff to ALAC.- Sir Tmotts III

Need an amp that can support both high and low ohm headphones
Get a Schiit Magni, cheap, versatile, might be the only amp you'll ever need. Plus, if you don't like it, you've got 15 days days to ship it back for a refund.- Sir Tmotts III

Rattling sound on bass heavy tacks?
Most likely, its a loose hair resting on the driver, but it might be a problem with the driver, like Grado's Grattle. What headphones are you using?- Sir Tmotts III

Grado sr60 or Sr80 for portable source
I had the opportunity to demo 90% of Grado's stuff at my local audio store. In my opinion, while they can both be driven from an ipod equally well, the 80 felt a little dry compared the the 60 in my iPod, when thrown through a proper amp, the 80 wins out, but the 60 is what you're looking for...- Sir Tmotts III

Will my Headphones sound better being played though an Amplifier?
If it were something on the higher end, then yes. But since your not really listening with anything special, I doubt you'll notice anything.- Sir Tmotts III
