I am currently doing Senn 580's + Creek OBH-11 (w/ standard power supply) at home (too dark, need amp upgrade); Sony MDR-V700DJ's with my PCDP on the road. (I know everyone hates the DJ's; that's OK, I like them).
However, based on my brief listen to them at the 2001 Hi-Fi show in NYC, I will be moving to Ety 4-P's with custom earmolds for portable use. Based on my recollection of the sound, I might want to use the ETY's as the at-home 'phones as well.
Question: What amp do you Ety users use at home? Is there a home amp that would work well with both the ETY's and the Senn 580's? Given that the 4-P's are designed to work without an amp, would one need the 4-P to 4-S converter cable to get best sound with home amp? All opinions welcome. Opinions backed by actual listening experience somewhat more welcome. Thanks, guys.
(BTW, I did a search and there was a thread on ETY/amp matching, but it mostly focused on the $200-ish range.)
