anyone have a setup like this? if so, i'd like to know if the sr-71 can make a significant difference in low quality sources like an ipod or computer. thanks

Don't get me wrong, the ipod is great, but if i wanted to put all WAV files on my 40GB, I wouldn't have all the music I wanted at my finger tips. my main thing is if it's worth spending $400 on an amp to be used with an ipod, and will it make a $400 difference. Or do I just save that $400 and save up for a a $2K guitar? |

I hate you j/k, dude if you get that setup, you gotta let me come over and listen to that thing! |
