Hey there,
I just recently began to involve myself in this audio electronics business, and I find it absolutely fascinating. The only hi-fi equipment I have at the moment is my pair of Sennheiser 497s, which are all I can currently afford. I love them, and I think they sound amazing, but I keep getting the message that an amp is essential for true hi-fi portable audio.
I listen to CDs on my year 2000 philips PCDP, which, it seems, has a loose headphone jack. Currently I use an elastic to pull it up, for if it sits naturally or is pushed to the sides or down, I only get one channel, or none at all. As a sidenote, does anyone know what I can do about this? Currently I can't find a screwdriver small enough to open it up, but I will if it is necessary.
Considering I don't have that much money to spend, and am only a beginner, I would like to hear some suggestions regarding amplification, as well as the basics of what to consider in an amp.
