hi all. its been 2 days since i got my D1100 from  the post and im absolutely loving them. but ive decided i want to amp em but dont know how they take to amping and what amp is suitable. i already have a cmoy but believe it or not the cmoy kinda makes it sound worse. can anyone recommend me an...

I have been hear a lot about how people are avoiding the internal amp inside their ipod by using a line in. If I used this method to connect to an ibasso t3 or something similar, would the sound quality rival or even rival a Cowon product(j3, D3, ect)?

I am new to the portable headphone amp stuff, and I just bought like my 30 pair which are the Denon Ah-d1100 and I would like to know what would be the best PORTABLE HEADPHONE AMP FOR IT????? My price range is under $125. I was looking into the Nuforce Icon Mobile. because I trust that Brand...

  I am using a T3 with a J3.   Without headphones or the interconnect to my car plugged in the J3 has no issues (and no value :o)).  As soon as I plug something in the output (in other words try to use it), The J3 battery meter (artificially) goes to 0 and shuts down.  If I plug an output...

Hey guys, I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 428's (my first pair of "audiophile" headphones), and now I'm looking to get a portable amp to go with it. I know absolutely nothing about amps right now, as I just recently started getting into high quality audio. I was wondering though...

Now that i'm pretty close to getting my earphones, I've decided between 2 pairs (the Monster Turbine Pro Gold/Copper), I am looking at an amp to get around the $100 mark.... Reading around here and based on what folks have said I've found that for $100 the two mentioned are really good amps...

I've been thinking about how I'd like to go about creating my ideal portable setup and I've been flip-flopping on the amp part. I wouldn't like to carry around a brick, but I want high performance, so that limits my options somewhat. I'm currently leaning towards the Leckerton UHA-4, but it's...

After a few days trying the UM3x amped and unamped i can't help to notice how remarkably well this iem scales with an outboard amp. I've been amping it with an iBasso T3 through an iPod Classic line out and the improvement it brings not only to the frequency response but mostly to the soundstage...

My desktop setup consists of a Musiland 02 paired with a fiio e9 and I am lookng for something portable that can decently power my DT770/250 and PFE 112's. Not looking for anything that can power them like my e9 just something that can do it decently at less than $150. Was looking at the...

Hello,   It appears my RE0s have died after 1 and a half years, I expected them to last longer but oh well. I am looking for a replacement, but I'm not sure if I should buy the RE0 again, or try something else.   I listen to hip-hop, R&B, pop with a bit of old music like Dire Straits and...

Hey Head-fi'ers,   I have been reading about the Hifiman RE262 lately. It looks like everybody seems to be liking them. I especially like to try them because I have a HJE900 which I guess is somewhat opposite to RE262. My first confusion is are these headphone out yet? Because Head direct...

Hi there, I'm completely new to headphone amps and looking for a little help.   I have a pair of AKG K271 mkii's, love the sound of them but they arent very sensitive, not looking to change them just give them some decent power.   I'm looking for something smooth and easy over detailed...

please help me to find the right portable amp for my ultrasone 900 pro , i listen from my ipod and my tablet.   I talked with RS audio and they said me that i need 5v power supply for an USB connection with the tablet pc, now i'm thinking to use it just with my ipod , i'm i bit confused, i...

Hello Guys,   I discovered this forum a while ago and couldn't stop reading since then. I bought the Koss Portapro a couple of months ago and rediscovered my music so much that now i'm always trying to improve the quality of my listenings. My first step after was to get lossless music...

I know very little about headphone quality and purchased my Turbine Pro Coppers based on opinions off this site. So far I am very happy with how they sound and cannot go back! I am wondering if I am able to make it sound better with a portable amp and if the sound difference will be significant...

After reading this site for a few days, I decided to get some Shure 840's. I was sick of my in ear phones (Klipsch X10's ... amazing sound but fragile and uncomfortable), and after 2 days of listening to the 840's I'm basically happy with them. But I have a few questions that hopefully someone...

Hi guys!   I just recently bought my first set of nice over-ear headphones, AKG K240 Studios, and I'm interested in getting an amp so I can get all I can out of them!   I was hoping some of you could offer some advice, since I know very little about amps.   My price range is right...

I've finally decided on my new earphones, only problem is I'm worried about the quality of sound the iPod will produce, can someone please recommend a decent amp/cable that would go well with the iPod classic (160gb) and EI8s, also if theres anything else I would have to do once I recieved them...

Was originally thinking of getting the cmoy but the E7 also looks like a good pick. Im not sure which one to get and if you guys could help me thatd be great. By the way i will be using these with my ipod classic and my ATH-M50s

I am a new audiophile but know my stuff. I am inquiring if you could help me in finding a tube amp made in the USA. My limit is $100-150. Any suggestions would be great. My preference would be a neutral sounding amp. I've been doing some research online but nothing much.

I was planning to purchase either Ultrasone HFI-580/DJ1's, Shure SRH-840's, or Koss Pro DJ100's and I'm primarily going to use my iPod Touch as my source.   Would it be worth it to purchase an E5 amp as well (as it was recommended for the Pro DJ100's)? I'm not too tight budget-wise, but I...

Even though I have no immediate plans to buy a set of portable headphones anytime soon, I am planning to get one in a couple months. I already have an IEM and 2 circumaural headphones, so I thought I might as well get a portable one for whenever I feel like it.   So here's my Info: -...

Hi all,   Novice audiophile who is having trouble finding really nice headphones for hip hop and R&B music. I have bought and tried the following different headphones -- Shure SRH840 and Denon D2000. Both are decent, but neither blew me away.   As I mentioned in the title I currently...

As careful as I was with my RE0's over the past year, one of the wires in the earbuds pulled loose internally and when I RMA'd them, after nearly 3 weeks, a replacement was sent to me, but never made it to my house.  USPS tracking shows delivered, but with the snow it seems to have been sent to...
