I think it will be a good experience, as well as practicing my board-ing and soldering skills.

However, am I going to hear a difference with my Ety Er-4P's from my iPod? I know pictures from other people that have used Er-4P's and iPods with CMoys... I havent heard experiences though... These say they dont require an amp... so... I guess I'm confused, is this going to be worth it in the end?

My 68ohm Altec IEM distorts with a cmoy using an Ibook source. I've experienced this with two cmoys made by two different people. Now I don't know if it will be the same with an Ety but the Altec shares at the very least some Ety technology whatever that means. But these IEMs really blossom with amps. I am hoping for a solution to this.

That's interesting...

I sort of feel like perhaps building a cmoy just for the heck of it, maybe.
Would it be any use if I did?
I listen from: laptop soundcard, Pioneer stereo, Creative Zen Micro
I listen with: Sennheiser HD212Pro, perhaps soon AKG K81DJ, both 32 ohms; soon also with some 16 ohm creative IEMs that obviously won't need it.

I also have been known to hook up my Zen Micro to various stereos using a mini-to-RCA cable, which means that at some stage along the way I have to pump up the volume to a distastefully high level. This seems like the place I'd be most likely to use it.

If it can do nothing useful, I might just give it to someone I know who needs it, or just use them to build up l33t skills until I do need them.

Or I might just forget about it.

People get mixed responses from the cmoy with IEMs. I got static using my well-built cmoy and my E2cs. I will report once I get my E3s. No static with my Grados. They're more for the big cans, because usually the IEMs isolate so well DAPs built in amps can power them well.

I don't get static in my cmoy, gain of 6, with the ER-6i.

That has nothing to do with it.

I think I want to make a CMoy amp as well at one point if I find a good guide. Probably wouldn't use it much, but I would do it just for fun.
