I plan to purchase Grado 325i headphones and a suitable amp over the next six months.

I have an interest in the following amps:
Headroom Micro Amp
Headamp Gilmore Lite
Firestone Cute Beyond

and am curious about SQ improvements that I might expect relative to my current PA2V2/SR60 combo (which I will eventually use as my office rig) should I purchase the amp first.

An iPod classic (Apple lossless; LOD) and a vintage Fisher tuner will be my sources.

I'm not concerned about portability and primarily interested in a solid state amp.

This amp and the new Grados will be my last equipment purchases for quite some time (perhaps forever?).

I can purchase one thing soon - either the new Grados (which would be used with the PA2V2 for a while) or the new amp (with SR60s) until I scare up the $ for the other.

Is it better to get the new headphones or amp first?

Thanks.
