Amplifying my iPod

[stolzy]

I find the volume on my iPod insufficient with earplugs and motorway speeds (just the time I could do with it)

I was thinking of lashing up something with a (stereo) pair of these - would they do the job?

I'm guessing I just put them in the headphone line . . . .

Amplirider

Have a look at these.

I have the Amplirider which is bike powered. It is Brill.
If you want a pocket amp then check out the PA2v2.
I have bought a few amps of Gary and he is a top bloke.

John, I know this is more dosh, but I've got the remote volume model and I'm dead impressed

Good communications with the guy in Canada, and a flat rate to anywhere... its now up and running with more volume than I need

Edit... beaten to it by Hommes

Thanks for that.

In fact, by the time I've bought all the bits it doesn't work out much cheaper.
I like the bit where he says:

I will stand behind this amplifier be happy to repair it (at no charge) should anything ever go wrong.

People normally only say stuff like that when they know nothing will go wrong.

Cheers.

I liked the fact that he stuck a hand written note in the pack to me saying he hoped I enjoyed the amp, and thanks for the business

As you say he'll replace any that malfunction... that's confidence... and he got it to me quickly now 70% up the volume scale is good for 100 mph

now 70% up the volume scale is good for 100 mph

Doubtless that is an estimate based on the audibility at 70mph

Obviously

i've just received an amplirider and my first impressions were good - well-constructed, no skimping on materials.

However, I find that at any volume level much above what my ipod can provide that the distortion is unacceptable

Anybody else have experience?

Thats your speker/earphone limits. What are you using? I run mine through the Autocom system and sound is great with loads of volume. I only need Amp turned up half way and thats with ear plugs in.
