That's a CMoy-style headphone amp.

Coupled with an iRiver h140 and Beyerdynamic DT931s, you get a DAP setup that, while it is a bit bulky, can barely be bettered in terms of sound quality.

;D

That, I LIKE! Ingenius!

If only I could claim it were my own work.

A mere £25 delivered(!) from Ebay in the states. Arrived in a week.

Why do you need that? Funny impedance on the headphones or something? I like the idea though, I have officially nicked it. Shame I threw out all the old tobacco tins when my grandpa died, I could have micro'd some stuff into them for in the car.

I have a few spare....

250 Ohms.

But letting the amp 'take the strain' compared to the player makes them sound so much better. Basically, it lets the headphones sound at their best.

That makes sense. With impedance that high you'll have the mp3 player up really high to get any sound out of them at all. I just spotted the debate on OcUK. Comedy mate, comedy ;D

Bit rusty on all this sort of thing but makes sense.

Yeah - beforehand I was running the player at full volume all the time.

Much better this way

I like Iron Monkey too. Not as much as Electric Wizard though.

Awesome choice of cans there Sir!

I bought a set of Beyers about three years ago, they are fantastic.

My dad's still got some mid-70's cream Boots Audio cans with individual volume sliders on each earpiece. They are as uncomfortable as hell but still work fine...even if they do sound shooooite.
;D

[penski]

Ooooh. I have some Retro cans downstairs...Thieved off my dad!

*goes to take pics*

I'm liking Crippled Black Phoenix at the moment - Justin Greaves from the afforementioned with some of the guys from Mogwai and some others.
Sounds a bit like... well, Mogwai written by a Doom artist. Miserable as hell. Love it ;D

Did you ever check out Dukes Of Nothing? Doug Dalziel's next click.

My War and Murder One also rocked a fat one.
