Buying my first amp! LDM+, Xenos OHA-REP or Go-vibe v5?

Damn... The seller was letting go of his 0HA-RHP, not REP. Sigh... Well, let's see about the LDM+ then...

Hello Head-fiers. I've been reading through so many of your great comments. This is a great community.

Anyway - I bought my first head-fi rig. I have a number of headphones.

After reading and contemplating, I ordered a Go-Vbe V5 in low impedence mode. Reasons? Pricepoint was good, reviews were encouraging, and I wanted to take a toe-step in to test the waters.

I will be using this with a 1st and 2nd generation iPod shuffle and a 4th gen 40G ipod.

I also ordered a pair of SR225s from Todd the Vinyl Junkie.

Other Headphones that I already have: AKG K240s, Bang and Olufsen A8s, Bang and Olufsen Form 2, Sennheiser HD1430 (amazing for the price).

My computer rig: Dual 1.8Ghz powermac with Tascam US-122 DAC. 2xUAD-1 cards, Tannoy NFMs.

Stereo rigs : Bang and Olufsen Overature with Penta III speakers.
Kef C40s in the basement.

I've also gotten myself on the list for a Ray Samuels tomahawk when they are ready!

I also see that the SuperMicro IVs are highly thought of.

and

the mSeeds Faith amp looks interesting.

Anyway - wonderful forum!

Wow... Looks like you don't need much help from headfi to bleed your wallet already.

Anyway, let us know what you think of your new Go Vibe!

Bumping an old thread...
Looks like I won't be getting the Xenos after all.
Found a 3 months old, barely used Go-vibe selling for slightly more than the list price but bundled with an Ultimate Link IC, powerex battery and charger. Seems like a good deal and I took it. Now I just have to get a PSU for home use. Can't wait to try out my first amp! Thanks for all the advice guys!
