After reading Skylap great review for portable amp I have decided to get one of these three the Leckerton Audio UHA-3, C&C XO and Practical Devices XM4.
Leckerton Audio UHA-3:
As Skylap said that this is great amp for bass lover. As my ears never get enough of bass punch, I think this amp really suit my taste.
C&C XO:
When I saw the web site for this amp, I was amazed by the look. This is one of the best looking portable amp I ever known. I am considering the XO just because of the look and it does bring out pretty good sound. Skybus rated XO bass A-.
Practical Devices XM4:
This is the cheapest out of the three. What I like about this amp is the price which is pretty reasonable and there is bass boost button. Skylap rated the xm4 bass A without the bass boost. With the bass boost on is should give out very powerful bass.
I will be running the amp with my iphone most of the time and couple it with shure se530. When I first got my se530 I was very disappointed by how it sound with my iphone and my computer. Right now I am running the se530 with creative usb external sound card and it sound great with 60% bass boost. se530 and iphone is not a good combination, the iphone make the se530 sound like just ordinary ipod earphone. So I decided to get a portable amp to always have great sound where ever I go.
If you guys have any other suggestion for which amp I should get try not to go over $200. Thanks!
