Thoughts on the PocketAmp 2 version 2

[LTUCCI1924]

HI: I have been using my senn. 590 with my portable radio and felt like I needed a little more power for the 590. I thought about a portable amp that also used a wal-wart. I thought about a 250.00-400.00 amp but that was way to much money to spend just for a little more power. Then I thought about a cmoy or even a boosteroo amp for 29.00. Then I discovered the PocketAmp 2 version 2. So I bought a 1 week old amp here on head-fi. This little and I mean little amp is really very cool.

It uses 2 AA rechargeable batt. and also a wal-wart that recharges the batt even when using the amp. The amp does all I wanted and more. My 590 sound much better with this little amp. I am now burning in the amp for 100 hours. I am really glad I found a inexpensive amp that sounds so good.

I've had my pocketamp2v2 for a couple of days now and it is very nice with my ipod dock linout and a variety of phones akg401, grado325, sennheiser px100 and etyer6i. It drives the akg's fine and if I want something more hi fi-ish I listen to vinyl on my thorens or cd's on a Cambridge with a MADear+HD extream. The nice thing about both of these amps is that they are built in Canada and save us poor canucks money and customs woe's. I had planned to get a GOvibe from Headsave but....they're no more so the pocketamp2 fits the bill for me.
