I've searched around quite a bit and haven't really found an answer or if I have I couldn't understand it lol but with an iPod 2G and a pair of IE7s would an amp of any sort help out a signifigant amount and if so what type?

I don't have the IE7s yet and the only other headphone I've owned with (out of my experience) high quality were some sony high performance I got from walmart.

I mainly listen to rap metal and techno but occasionlly I'll throw some country in there also, all lossless btw.

Umm... from what I have read it will probably help but only a little; and it depends on what files you're playing your music from and what kind of amp you get.

How much are you planning on spending for the amp?

in short, yes it will help. my IE8s improved even with a fiio E5. but is it worth considering is i think should be left to decide by the end user.

Hmm well I'm not sure how much id spend on the amp because I've never heard music through an amp so I have nothing to go on as far as Improvement/Price so not really sure but if it's only slightly an improvement I wouldn't want to spend to much then the life of the amp I guess would come into play also if an amp lasted ~1-2years or more which im not sure of I'd go close to 200$
