may not give you the volume and slam you want. I used to have some, with a good headphone amp they were great, but being driven by the typical portable cd player output they just couldn't give much volume. Find out what kind of power the laptop puts out, you may want to go with something more efficient.

The laptop is a Dell 8100. I assume it's just a volume issue? A thought just occured to me as I write this (I hate this getting older thing), as I have an Adcom GTP500 (spare preamp buried in the closet) that I could use as a preamp, and it's got a headphone out. That would probably solve the problem until I can afford to buy a really good headphone preamp.
"I have an Adcom GTP500 (spare preamp buried in the closet) that I could use as a preamp, and it's got a headphone out.

Give it a go and see how it sounds....
Like I said Grado Sr 60 or 80.
