I've been debating upgrading from my Pimeta, and the leading candidates right now are the Headroom Micro and the Emmeline SR-71. Can I expect a pretty large difference in sonic quality going from my JMT-built Pimeta to either of these amps? I mainly ask because I've been sitting around the house all day w/ the Pimeta, iPod Mini and DT770/80's and everything just sounds really great, and I'm wondering if the Micro or the SR-71 will really give me enough of an improvement in sound to warrant the price of admission ($300 and $400, respectively). I keep thinking that maybe I should use the money to grab another couple pairs of cans (the ER4S is supposed to sound great w/ the Pimeta, and Grados keep calling my name).
So, what's your honest opinion? I'm not looking for a "justification response" (i.e. wanting some people to tell me to "go for it" just so I feel justified in purchasing another amp), I want an honest opinion on whether or not you think it would be worth the $$$, or if it would be better spent on other cans. I've come to value your opinions here on head-fi a great deal, and if I made the jump for one of these amps it would be a pretty big one, so have at it!
