Hello
My first post here.I m looking to buy a CD/MP3 player.Some players that got my attention are Panasonic ct710/810(dig amps) Iriver slimx150/250 and SonyNE300(cheapy one).But the player must have enough volume to drive decent cans like Sony V6 and Koss PortaPro.Now i heard that the players that are sold in European Union have a very limited head amp:like 1,5 mw!This sucks

!I currently live in England.What should i do?Buy directly from US? The Pana and Iriver models that are sold in EU have ltd head power or not?Help

PS.noone thought to use Jude's name backwards as a nick before me?

PS2.Thanks i n advanse for your help

I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but you could always get a cheap amp (cmoy comes to mind) to add volume.

Buy the iRiver iMP-350. It has enough power to drive most of portable headphones. You can get it used from US for a very cheap price. Try posting in the Buy/Sale forum or try Ebay.

Thanks
Yes i m thinking about the iriver players.I can get them from Europe:from ebay.co.uk or ebay.de.But i don t know if these players have ltd head power or not

(as they are sold in EU).US ebay sellers
rarely ship to Europe,but i ll try to find one who won t rip me with the shipping costs

.V6 are so easy to drive that i don t think i need an amp for now.A player with decent "juice" from the head out will do the job.

as far as i understand it even if the iriver players are limited it would only be a limitation in the firmware and you could always use the US firmware instead

really?if that goes for all iriver cd/mp3 players that would be great.River iMP-350 is what got my attention.There are a lot at ebay.com but only one or two ship ubroad.
