I dont have an A130... but my A250 really likes warm amplification. Which the PA2V2 certainly is. The A250 + PA2V2 makes for a good budget synnergy. The A130 is the closed earcup sibling of the A250.
IMHO the best portable amp deal going is the pint. The kit is available for $90. add ~$50 and contract a reputable forum builder to make one for you and youve got IMHO one of the best portable amps... at any price. You should be able to squeeze an A130 into that mix.
K240s + pimeta... Another good all round rig. You can OP amp and buffer roll and get some nice synnergy with the AKG.
HD580 + pimeta... Choose OP amps wisely and it will help liven up the (at times) anemic HD580.
My fave all around can is the A250.
You might want to wait for the govibe V. Munkong is working on a new portable amp as well... with roll-able OP amps.

I only have a budget of $200USD and I'm trying to fill all of my audio needs. I was planning on heading to the local Guitar Center and buying Beyer dt770's, but I tend to over think my purchases. Now I have 2 game plans, but I can't tell which would be better for me. I may just go get the 770's, I'm a bass player (basshead Now for the question Thanks in Advance! |
