Question Total Bithead + Westone UM-2s?

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend this amp? I'm just after something that's better than the crappy built-in sound of my work laptop.

Bit fed up of the constant hum and processor noise I can hear through the UM-2s.

Any help appreciated I don't mind buying from the US either.

Cheers!

Paul.

I would suggest a look through the largest of the US based headphone forums for this..... www.head-fi.org

This being a US sourced product,you will find plenty of info there to help you.

Re: Total Bithead + Westone UM-2s?

I was just wondering if anyone on here had had any experience, hence asking here as I'm already a member of head-fi.

Always better to get lots of different opinions.
