Is there an inexpensive amp that will make the vocals on the ad700 sound super nice? or should I just save the money? I'm still a newbie, spare me....

We're talking about 50$ or so...

Also check the used section, that is where your money is best spent.

what about cmoys?

 

[Dorito123]

I think the caffeine is a cmoy. Hey Cmoys are in your price range, go for it! I would recommend you look for one with the power adapter externalized so the lid doesn't have to be open for you to use a power adapter, might be useful if you are using it at your desk.

Is there an amp out there to power these babies of mine? For classical music and piano. This is for computer use too, so all around might be good.

Maybe you should use the extra $50 to get a A900.

Unfortunately the headphones are shipped and with the money I saved I could get an amp maybe something liek the T-amp?

The Pocket Amp is a cheap option that works well with the AD700. Adds a very slight mellowness to the sound.

I think that some amps may tip the top end too much since they are sensitive to treble and will accentuate the top end if given the opportunity.

I really like these headphones though.

I mean it would be more worth it for me if I could use something like a T-amp for both my speakers and headphones. I've seen the T-amp in real life and it's small enough for me to carry from one desk to another. However the problem is I'm not sure if my speakers can handle it and if it can power my headphones.

After thinking about it, how would I able to connect the T-amp and speakers (2.1) to my laptop (macbook pro)?
