luckybaer Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I use a HeadRoom Micro Stack to power my full-sized cans at my desktop. I use a RSA Hornet to power full-sized cans when I am not by my Micro Stack. I also use the Hornet with my Shure E4c, but not often, since they are easy to drive by my iPhone 3G or 2nd Gen Nano (there is some improvement, but nothing to jump up and down for). What I'd like to get is something smaller than the Hornet. I would like for it to be from a vendor that is not known for long delays, poor communication, not keeping promises, etc. It can be from anywhere, as long as shipping to the U.S. is OK, but I'd prefer something shipped FROM the USA (does not need to be MADE in USA). Vendor should have a solid reputation for producing nice, reliable amps and other products. As far as preferred sound, the amps I have are, if anything a bit warm (though not negatively so). The amps do well with my K601 and other fullsized phones (although I'd like to see what a less-warm-amp would do with the DT770/80). For this ultra-portable amp, I don't mind if the amp isn't known for being warm, but I don't want it to be too dry and lacking impact. Neutrality, although hard to find, would be cherished. Thanks for your feedback. Oh, and price <=$300 US would be nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimless1 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Doesn't the Hornet seem like overkill for the K601? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asr Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Why do these noobs always seem to think asking for advice here will be any better than asking for it at Head-Fi? What I'd like to get is something smaller than the Hornet. I would like for it to be from a vendor that is not known for long delays, poor communication, not keeping promises, etc. It can be from anywhere, as long as shipping to the U.S. is OK, but I'd prefer something shipped FROM the USA (does not need to be MADE in USA). Vendor should have a solid reputation for producing nice, reliable amps and other products. Might as well get the RSA Protector then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
