just wondering what the best amp for 40 bucks is.

There isn't any such thing. You might look at http://www.fixup.net/tips/pktamp/ for the lowest priced decent amps you will ever find. Beyond that, you are going to have to spend easily over $100.

jessica: try looking for a used cmoy or cha47 on the for sale/trade forum. They are perfect for your phones and should be about the price you suggest, maybe a few dollars more.

Although I may be relatively new around here, I'm finding it increasingly tiring to see certain people just attacking whatever Magicthyse has to input about any subject in any thread... almost as if they're rebutting whatever has been said just because Magic said it.

Sigh... oh well.

The DT250-80s rock for gaming; they make a bad source sound reasonable due to under-emphasizing the harsh treble that results from these sources.

I used them through my soundcard both amped and unamped; the sound was about the same.

Sonically speaking they place musical emphasis on the midrange and have reasonable, very tight bass.

No, that's just what he wants you to think. If you actually look around Head-Fi, you'll see that people (including me) agree with him on some things, so clearly it's not personal. It's just that some of the things he says are so out there that people feel the need to disagree.

either/or. depends on your needs, really.

I think that you should consider the Ultrasone HFI650 too.
They are excellent for gaming, and I believe bangraman said something about them being better than the dt250s.

I just luve my DT250-80, they are 2 days old, just passed overnight burn in but the sound is

I may not have much to compare with just my old Denon AH-D950, but Beyers just spanked them.
Agreed on comment that they make MP3 sound *very* decent.
Very nice and precise positioning in UT2003 too.

The HFI-650 are markedly superior to the DT250-80 in UT2003. That much is easy to tell. Music? I'm not entirely sure about the HFI-650 yet.
