Here are the pictures of my Portable Rig. I know a lot of people are going for the ultra compact, but I don't mind the bulkiness. and it clips to my belt and isn't combersome, so I like it...hope you do too. Plus it sounds awesome. :allteeth:







The rig consists of:
60gb RWA iMod iPod Rockbox'd in a Vakaadoo iVak Black Case; Rt Angled Switchcraft ALO Cryo Mini2Mini; Portaphile PV2^2maxxed Amp; Shue e500s with PTH module in line; and it is all packed nicely into a Headroom Gigabag, with a set of Black Sumajin Sportwraps.

I first bought a regular ALO Cryo Mini2Mini, but I couldn't close the case, so I bought the Rt. Angled version, and now everything fits nicely into the case.

I have this nice rig IMHO, and all because originally all I wanted was some decent info about IEM's before spending some money on them to go with my Treo 650...

I bought it from them direct at http://www.vakaadoo.com/

They are in England. It came quickly and is really nice. It fits the iPod like a glove and doesn't add much size to it. I first bought a Countour Case, which was bulkier and I'm not crazy about the white iPod showing in this rig. This one is much better for my setup, and now my iMod iPod is Black!!! :allteeth:

If you read the site:

So I'm not sure why they have it as Black for the 20/30GB and White for the 40/60GB. Maybe they made a mistake in updating their web site. Or maybe they have changed the 20/30-40/60 cases to the inverse. I would contact them directly.

Also I may not have noticed and just ordered the black one after reading the description, and lucked out.

My receipt says the following:

"We've received your order from Vakaadoo.com as follows:
Items:
4G-Domino Black"

Hope you can get it. If you find out anything you should post what they tell you so others here will know what to do.

I can hear you all screaming "blasphemy!" from here.



Most of the time it's with just KSC35s. Lord it sounds good with KSC35s.
