I've been looking at amp and headphone combinations for an extended trip to Italy. I have Shure e3's now, and it seems that they would not benefit from amping but are fine out of the iPod jack.
I would like something a little better for my trip (better here being defined as better detail and clarity than I get with the e3s) but still very portable. I am leaning toward this:
iPod > ALO dock > Go-Vibe 5 > Ety ER4s
It is the last two items that I don't have yet. My concern with the Go-Vibe is it's portability and whether it has good synergy with the ER4s. [I don't have time to get a Xin amp, though that could be on the long term agenda.

My other options are the RSA Tomahawk>ER4s or something involving the Shure E4.
Thoughts? Thank you.
