Hey there!
As you can most likely tell from the title, I am currently looking for a portable amp to go with my Fischer Audio FA-003 and Cowon C2 (which is still in the mail).
I previously used my FiiO E11 amp which I really enjoyed, but I'm thinking I may want to try something new!
I realise that a lot may say that the FA-003 is a headphone that doesn't really need amping, but i respectfully disagree; I noticed the difference pretty much immediately after using my E11. I was quite surprised, in fact.
As for musical taste, it ranges from dubstep, to house, to metal, to death metal, to jazz, to classical - Also known as, pretty darn varied; the amp has to be a jack of all trades I guess you could say.
The preferred price range would be somewhere around the same as the FiiO E11, although I can at a stretch go to £100 (about 160$), granted this will require me to make some cuts in my every day life for a good month or so.
I noticed, when browsing around on the Head Gear section of this site under the portable amps, there is a 60$ amp at the top which seems pretty good (don't recall the name, but it's the top one) but does anyone know how it compares to the E11 I'm used to? is it better/worse/different?
Cheers!
