Not sure if you're serious posting your thread here

.

Maybe you'll get a better response by posting this thread in other forums, say the portable amp forum. Anyway, I used to use the Vibe 6 which may be in this range. Try the FS section as well.

Good luck.

Dont bother wasting your money. Anything i have heard or read up on under $50 doesnt do much to the music except make it louder. I would save up the money until you can buy something in the $100 to 120 range that will really have an affect on how your music sounds.

Best bet would be to keep an eye on the For Sale section. In the past couple weeks I've picked up a used PA2V2 and a Headroom Total Airhead, and neither was over $50 shipped.

A Fiio E5 isn't that bad if for something under 50. But I agree with LeftyGorilla save up and buy a better can or IEM. It should make you happy. But If you have a good can now then justt save up the money to buy later.

electronicmaji, I've decided that I'm not going to use the Headroom Total Airhead that I bought a little while ago. I paid less than $50 for it, and I'll let it go for what I have in it. Shoot me a PM if you're interested and I'll give you the details.

Fiio, CMoy, PA2V2 - take your pick. These are pretty much your only choices in your set price range. I've tried them. A well designed and built CMoy will give you the most flexibility, especially with a dual gain (see BSG on eBay). PA2V2 good for low impedance cans or IEM. Fiio - well, you get what you pay for.

Now, if you want a long term amp, I suggest bumping the price range from $100-300. You're be in another world, one which you'll never want to leave. If you go this route, I highly suggest a worthy set of cans with the amp to do each other justice.
