The Palmer seems to excel in situations where weak headphone outputs are present. Typical Palmer: straightforward specifications, practical design, very well made, and reasonably priced. Depending on the headphones and settings (200 Ohms), it can produce some noise, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for high-fidelity use – it would also fall into a different price range. I mainly use it for monitoring and practicing guitar and bass, and it performs very well in situations where the source devices have weak headphone outputs – essentially, with any source. It offers a wide frequency range, groovy bass, high dynamics, and fine detail for string instruments. In these situations, it performs exceptionally well. It's better to invest in a headphone amplifier than to spend an extra CHF 300 on a top-of-the-line headphone that would ultimately be used with a weak source.
