I got a Creative Micro recently, and when I hooked up my Koss Pro 3AA headphones, I could hear the absence of power. Is there a portable amplifier that can boost the power?

What specifically do you want advice on? I would at least check online, like digikey and mouser, as the parts they offer are much better quality, and might still be cheaper, even after shipping.

Thanks for the reply, cetoole, but I started another thread on the actual buildling. Hopefully this won't bother the moderators much. And I don't think I have access to any online shops.
