I'd like a smaller amp, nothing too crazy in size. I will be using it in conjuction with my Creative Zen Vision:M, Senn 595s, and UE super.fi 5 Pros. I'd like to not go over the $300 mark also, if possible. Thanks guys.

Did you happen to read, oh, any of the first page of threads in this forum? Give it a shot.

Yeah I wanted to get a recommendation for a good one that meets my criteria without having to read through 20 pages of posts though. Reading about an amp, and getting a good recommendation from someone who knows what they're talking about are two completely different things.

If you want tiny- check out xin's supermicro or supermini (www.fixup.net)
Small- AE-1, Hornet, Sr-71, PAV2V2, the list goes on and on

Little Dot Micro+ is said to pair very well with the HD595... And is much better than this all too popular PA2V2. Costs very little. Sounds wonderful with my other Senns, especially the HD485. Has outstanding battery life (something like 150 hours, thanks to the integrated lythium battery). Small and tough too.


Otherwise, I recommend the Go-Vibe v5 and the Xenos 0HA-REP.

i'll throw in the RSA Hornet. small, simple and it just plain works. also has a 3 way gain setting which will drive your 595s nicely since senns like juice. my Hornet drives my power hungry K701s very nicely indeed. you can get one used for well under $300.

The Little Dot Micro+ has grabbed my attention. I don't think my ears are gonna know the difference at this point between that and the $3OO RSA amps. I could be wrong though.

 

[dr.morton]

Yes, you could be wrong.
But the trouble usually only starts when you begin to compare items with each other.
As long as you will only own one amp AND no way of comparing it to others AND the amp fullfills your wishes everything should be fine

 

[soloz2]

I agree with the previous statement that the LDM+ pairs well with hd595's

If there's a conspicuous difference at all. The LDM+ is so good.

Xin SUPERMINI IV or XENOS 0HA REP if you want a cheaper alternative!

 

[kaushama]

Supermini gives you an amp, which is on par with RSA Hornet\SR-71 (350$ range)! It is claimed to give similar performance of SUPERMACRO IV, which is compared with HORNET, SR-71 and AE-1 ..... so on. Supermini is just 199$ and more rugged than Supermacro. It has all the features of macro; internal charging, variable gain, bass boost and adding impedance.
