Hi,
I have been reading, searching and just looking aroud here for the last month and now consider myself hooked on Head-fi. After reading many posts I invested in a pair of ety 4P phones to go with my iPod. This really my first exposure to Hi-Fi and WOW!! Anyway back to my question...I have also contacted a well known amp builder here to build up a portable META 42 for me. I spec'd out built in 4P->4S resistors to convert to the more audiophile sound of the 4S while using the amp. Problem is what if I want to use another set of cans in the future. I thought about getting a converter cable and leaving the amp as is but I hate the clutter the extra cable creates (this is why I never use the iPod remote). I asked the builder if 2 output jacks can be installed (one with resistors, one straight) but there is no room in the Serpac enclosure. Should I sacrifice the portability of the Serpac case and get a larger enclosure (with both jacks) or leave well enough alone and figure I will need another amp to go with a closed type of headphone in the future?
thanks for any comments....
