Is there any difference between the classic rock and the lead headphone amp?

Hi Anthony, I bought the AC30, the Metal, and the Classic Rock ones, so I can't comment on the Lead one, but of the three that I got, the Classic Rock one was the favorite. Another option to consider, although more expensive, is to get a Carl Martin Rock Bug. That way you can use all of your Dirt Pedals and still use the headphones. Using my Rock Bug with a Boss Flanger pedal and a Beat Buddy pedal is pretty neat.

the 32ohm version is made to be run off just about anything, and still retain good volume and dynamics. the 80ohm is tuned for a bit more bass than the other models. at 80ohm it sits on the border of needing or not needing an amp. I personally thought it needed one when I listened to it out of my phone. the 250ohm definitely needs an amp, and is the most balanced sounding of the 3 versions. it's far from a balanced headphone though. I only say balanced in comparison to the other ohm versions of the same headphone. the 250ohm version is really made for a studio plugged into monitoring equipment. doesn't mean you cant use it at home, but you have to have an amp. just remember this with headphones, the lower the ohm, the more likely it will sound good just plugged right into a source. as the ohm goes up, volume and dynamics start to suffer, to the point that a separate amp will be required. if you don't want to use an amp, get the 32ohm.

I too am interested in this question. From specs, the Energy's have a higher sensitivity, so the amp won't need to deliver as much power for the same loudness. They also have binding posts as opposed to spring clips. I read somewhere (CNET?) that duplicate drivers in a horizontal configuration (center channel) create an interference pattern of peaks and troughs that affect the sound when heard off-center, so Energy's single mid driver could actually be an advantage.

I have mine hooked to an amp and the sound quality is spectacular. Can't say as to the difference if they were being pushed by only the stereo.

If you google the two you will find one is better for rock and roll.. i'm not sure which tho

Your phono amp brings your output up to line-level standard and is not meant to power headphones. The headphone amp you choose depends on which headphones you plan on driving. The little dot is versatile and can drive cans from 16ohms to 600ohms depending on how you set it up. Further, it provides the opportunity to enjoy the warmer tube sound and also play with tube rolling (experimenting with different tubes for different sound) I switched the opamps out for Burr Browns and am using vintage western electric 408a tubes as this setup works for my Sennheisers. Hope this helped.

Yes. In fact, if your preamp has a headphone jack or monitor/tape out to connect to a headphone amp, it would be a better set up - assuming that you're using headphones. The MC-13S is a good amp, but definitely a bit Spartan.

Yes and no. The guitar connection is a single channel but the headphone connection is stereo. You can get one channel in one ear of your headphones. It depends on whether your headphone jack in the amp uses the same ground connection as the wireless guitar jack. If it does, you will get that single channel. If not you, you won't get any sound at all.

higher or not the default headphone is the front plug just because you have a easy access button for switch between your speaker and headphone. If not technically the same output watt. The knob button is the master volume for both of them. I have a 128ohms headphone and at 25% is too loud for me.

Vox should have the specs for model differences. I think the lead is about 4 feet but plenty to just plug in while using bass. I going on memory at present as I left it, and an old bass in another city I visit. I've only used it with a P bass and the sound was good.

Probably the higher one, but difference is negligible. If you want the loudest, most noticeable sound, get both of them.

Don't know, personally. ... but I've heard the kickers have more bass. The pioneers have pretty decent bass and really good clarity. The kickers weigh quite a more, comparitively, with a bigger magnet, hence the bass. That's all I really know. Hope it helps.

The amp inside it is really good and not a huge discernible difference between the 2 however there are some things that make it worth while to use an amp.1. Improved battery life of the X3 as it skips the internal amp saving you precious charging time (It has good battery life but on a trip, might be handy2. You can use the crossfeed function of the Mont Blanc with it which is nice for old stereo recordings (think Beatles in stereo *shudders*)3. You can have both headphones and the amp running at same time (good way to share music with a friend and have separate volume controls, you can use the built in player volume control and they can use the volume pot of the E12.)

The internals might be similar, but it depends on how you want to use it. If you want to plug your iPod into an amp then headphones into the amp, the l9 is the way to go. If you want headphones directly into the line out then the 11 is better. The fiio e1 is a better option for plugging headphones directly into the line out because you get volume control, which the l11 does not offer.

I also use the iPod classic. I think the advantage is the way the amp will fit in relation to the iPod. It is easier to stack the two units instead of having to place them side by side. With the wire preformed, I don't worry about crimping the wire. Hope this helps.

It has the standard low voltage output that any home stereo "Line Out" has. So if other devices with a line out work well for you, then this will too. A headphone output is different than a Line Out.

Like the others who answered, I also have no idea what the difference is. I just know that the little amp works very well.
