Well, I finally saved up some money for a pair of SR80i's, which I ordered today, before I wasted my money on something else. Like paying to get them on my doorstep tomorrow.
I've dug through much of what's available on Head-Fi, but really I've only just scratched through the crust, and there's many miles further to dig before I get through it all.
So I'd like to ask what would be the best 'bang for the buck' portable amp I can get for my new Grado SR80i's?
I know there are people that will say the 80i's don't really need an amp to go with them, but I've also seen enough people say that (though the difference isn't like going from 80's to 325's) it makes a noticeable difference for the better to want to hear it for myself.
I have some extra cash to spend, so if anyone can recommend a cheap portable amp (though I won't mind hearing about $80-plus amps so I know what to compare with to some degree) to really get the last bit of gold out of these plastic cups, I'd love to know what you've got.
