I'm just learning about amps, and need some help.
I have a Zen Vision W 60 GB, which I love. It is such a killer piece of equipment I have thrillled more each day. It sounds great with my E500s, which will very clean -- and loud enough to do damage.
Is there any point of getting a headphone amp with that setup?
On the other hand, I have an aging set of Sony MDRv6 (correct? $90 17 years ago) They sound great, but too soft. You have to jack the vol a lot to get usable volume.
So -- are amps for "inefficient" headphones, and not useful for my more-efficient ear-buds?
How about if two are listening? Will an amp help manage the signals or impedience better or something?
Sorry for all the newbie questions.
