Hey so I have been driving my Pro 900s with Gary's PA2V2 and it has been great. Just one problem. By accident I slightly damaged the male-to-male cord feeding my source to the amp. So my feed cuts at times and it's really very annoying. My dad has an old box of wires and stuff and I found a male...

I'm currently using the Denon D2000's out of a Zune and a Fiio E5. They sound great to me just with the E5 powering them, but from what I heard I'm missing out on the full sound I could be getting with my Denon's. I bough a PA2v2 but the E5 powers my Denon's just as well. I just ask for...

I've looked around the forums and could find exactly what the E7 can output. I'm looking into getting the E7+E9 combo, as it's supposed to be a rather nice upgrade from just a PA2V2, having a desktop amp when stationary, and a supposedly better portable amp with just the E7.   Since I...

1. Should I get the PA2V2 or the E7? 2. Why?   I will use it with my Iphone 3 and a line out with Grados, CAL:s and X10.

Curiosity is taking hold, and I'm starting to wonder how an amp would change the sound of my headphones. Nothing definite yet, but the thought's there. If i were to get an amp, it would probably have to be portable, as I spend a lot of time away from my desk, at school, etc. So now to the real...

Hey all The PA2V2 seems like a popular, cheap amp. How is the sound quality and is there anything better in its price range?

Hi,   After the holidays I have come into possession of a few audio goodies that I couldn't resist from purchasing. I came into possession of an AKG K701, as well as a HiFiMan 601. I am very satisfied with my purchases but I think I'm missing a few components to make my setup from sounding...

Seeing that the MS-1 is based off of the 125i's, it looks like all the phones above the SR60 from Grado are suggested to be used with an amp. How well will these fare with output from a laptop's onboard? Or an older SB Live?   Should I stick with SR60 if I plan to run it direct from the...

So I've only recently gotten into the whole audiophilia ( can't say I am one, I only have a pair of srh440s and upgrading to ath m50 or srh840 sometime soon) and I was just wondering if you guys carry around your portable amps in your pockets, like to use at school and on the street   also...

Howdy, I recently got my first real pair of headphones (m50s) for Christmas, and while they're a welcomed changed for my previous IEMs, I've been worried about an untapped potential I'm not hearing. While I understand some are weary on (possibly expensive) amping ATH-m50s, I do intend to buy...

Hey all,   Sorry if this is a common question.  I've been doing a ton of research lately and haven't found answers specific enough to satisfy me. For Christmas I received a 6g Ipod nano.  I've been the audiophile type the whole life with my car/apartments but unfortunately my current college...

Hi, I'd love recommendations for portable amps that can drive a pair of AKG k701s to a decent volume. I'm wondering if a Stepdance could do it.   Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I am as new here as in headphones. I was looking for a good pair of cans and reading the forums and being French I ordered the Alessandro MS-1 a week ago so now I am waiting for them. All I got before was some etymotics er-6i and Apple earbuds so I am getting better :rolleyes: My main...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a portable amp that I can use with either my Grado 325i's or AKG701's (sometimes maybe my Klipsch Image X5's) along with my 8GB Sansa Clip when I just want to chill in a part of the house away from my main system.   Two amps I'm looking at are the FiiO E7 and...

I am using my Monster Turbines with my PA2V2 and upon opening the amp I tried it out using the included AC adapter; The sound was good, albeit somewhat warm, although surely a step up on the bass. So, I put in some metal hydride chargeable batteries in my amp, and the sound was weak and more...

Think that that is the amp I am going to get, then upgrade in a year or so. Good/bad idea? Please comment as to ensure I am yet frivolously wasting my money. Thanks.Also should I get a LOD?

So I just got my sr80i and was looking through the mod thread where I saw a bunch of mods like this    Now I'm very very new and I have no idea where to go or what to get to achieve something similar to this on my headphones and was wondering if anyone can point me at some cables and parts...

I just got the m-audio q40s and I am very happy that I did. However, being a newly discovered audiophile, I want more. I have decided that my next major pair of phones will more than likely be the beyer dt770s. However, I like the idea of crazy bass phones for special sessions like the xb500. my...

so i bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CMS0XU/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A35DL6C7BAXYRR these headphones as an intro to higher end headphones, got tired of skullcandies and decided to give this a try. for 93ish dollars was it a good investment?  are these generally good headphones?

I am getting my first iem+headphone amp setup, as well as my first portable rig, Is this a good combination? I've got a budget of around 200.

Hi, I suspect this is a long shot, but I'll give it a go. I live in the UK. I was wondering if there are any hi-fi shops that will lend you a headphone amp in order to try it out for a short time? Or, perhaps more realistically, somewhere that has a decent returns policy if you're not happy...

I've got my PA2V2 shipping out tommorow (monday) And I need some decent IEM's. My current idea is the Head-Direct Re0's. But I hear complaints of poor build quality. If I did get them, Whats the best way to preserve them?

Ok, I've searched for hours upon hours and cant really narrow anything down yet. ~$100 would be a good limit.   I'm basically set on getting the DT770pro 80s I listen to mainly EDM (trance, dubstep, progressive etc) Hiphop/Rap R&B Other types of music are sprinkled in as well.  ...

Hello, I think I've decided to buy the beyer dt770 80 ohm cans, I have never heard them as i cannot find anywhere in London that lets you demo them. So not sure if they will reach anywhere near their potential just driven from my ipod touch? (WON'T be listening via laptop or comp! Just from ipod...

I have 60 bucks to blow, and I already have a PA2v2 and some Grado Barneyphones (SR60i's)     Thanks,   MacKat
