Ok im lookin to get a good quality amp that is:

1) reliable
2)good sounding
3)very portable (for such things as school, walking and plane rides)
4)small
5)compatible with sony products
6)relatively inexpensive

ok hopefully that narrows things down. Everyone's input is appreciated

thankss!!

I second Shafu's post. The SuperMini or SuperMicro are the way to go, they have no real competition at the moment.

Do any of u have this amp?
How has it worked out for u?

thanks

Another possibility would be the Mint Meta. Though not as small as fixup's amps, it's still very portable.

Look on the threads - someone has a prototype. http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...threadid=45668

That said, the meta mints are also popular and have a coolness factor of using a mint tin.

The search button works well too...

I second the Mint Meta42 suggestion. While the Supermini's are ok amps, you can never go wrong with a Meta-type amp. It's IMO the best deal in this price range if you can buy used (or even new).

so which do u think would be better you know overall between a supermini, supermicro, and mint meta

 

[Dan the audioman]

does any one have any preferences that i might be interested in (look above to see the amps im talking about)

micro for uber-portability, mini for battery life, mint for cool factor. that's my take anyways. (i haven't heard any of them, i use a meta42)

 

[Dan the audioman]

so out of those three which is the best overall rounded in all fields amp?

You might as well ask: "What is the meaning of Life?"

I'd suggest using the search function. There are literally thousands of posts on this topic.
