Hello,

I was wondering which pocket amps are well matched for an ipod shuffle and my Etymotics.
I suppose another question I should ask is, as the shuffle already has a quite good output is an amp really required or show an improvement.

I am not looking to spend too much, any thoughts on cmoy types or the Pocket Amp 2 (PA2V2).

Any suggestion would be appreciated,

Jim

The PA2V2 is perfect. High current/low voltage, it'll do great with something low-impedance like the er-6. Also, it's quite bassy, which should correct for the er-6's lacking low-end. Should eliminate any hissing characteristic of the iPod. Great battery life for portable use, and it comes with built-in recharger - quite convenient.

The CMOY's are more low current/high voltage, and wouldn't be quite so well matched. I say go for the PA2V2. I think you will see an improvement in bass response, instrument separation, and punchiness with the amp.

Thanks for the comments, I will give it some consideration.
