I run 100% volume out of the Touch to a Little Dot I+ (LD I+) hybrid tube headphone amplifier which is paired with Grado SR-225i phones (soon to be Grado PS500). The LD is a match made in heaven with low impedance Grado cans......800mW @ 32 ohms. The audio quality is stellar, has swappable ops amps and tubes, and it didn't break the bank. DavidZheZhe over at Little Dot is a great guy, great to deal with. http://www.littledot.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=819&sid=2a137950871b16a4695e1b54a0e3d298 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Little-Dot-I-1-Hybrid-Tube-Transistor-Amp-Amplifier-/190575763699?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5f3360f3 -- Stilly77 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stilly77's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43680 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90656 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
