Hi Guys - firstly can I just thank whichever mod it was that moved my other posts into the correct section here - hopefully I've got it right this time!
Right, the question - I listen to my ipod (80 GB Classic) almost constantly when I am in my regional office - which is usually 1 or 2 days a week, sometimes more. I also use it when I am away on overnight trips. I use a variety of headphones depending on the situation - Senheisser PX100 foldups being about as indescrete as I go when at work, and very portable. The sound is surprisingly good, but I was wondering if using a headphine amplifier would in any way improve it?
If the verdict is "yes" - then I've seen this one (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140336983159&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT) on ebay - I wouldn't really want to pay any more for one than this, and this looks a lot better than any of the Chinese specials... How does the spec on this look, to a complete non-electrical expert (as evidenced by my broken cd player thread!) Would it be likely to give any improvement - accepting of course that I need to hear it to find out for sure. Alternatively, has anyone any other suggestion? Maybe even building one myself as a first DIY project, if there are any decent kits anyone knows of?
Thanks again, sure there will be some great advice.
