Default Just a bit of constructive criticism...

I want to preface this by saying, I like ALO products. I've purchased one imod LOD, and am on the verge of purchasing another standard LOD for other uses.

OK...so here it is (and this is just my personal opinion...others may disagree)...
I hope I don't offend anyone, but I seriously don't like the ALO logo melted into the connector shroud on the ipod side. To me, it looks tacky and even cheap (again, this is just my opinion). On the LOD I purchased, the melt job left lumpy accumulations of melted plastic in some areas, and honestly, it was tough to even discern that it said "ALO".

If you have a player & an amp, and you're dropping the $$ for a nice LOD, then chances are, aesthetics are important...even the smallest details matter. I think the ALO logo is already pretty prominent on the mini-plug overmold...my personal preference would be to have no logo on the ipod side overmold.

Anyway...sorry & hopefully this is received as constructive & not insulting. Again, I'm an ALO fan.

Peace,

Graz

"...the Raptor makes the 650s on the Zu harness sing like an operatic star - fully resonant, without a single ounce of dynamic or emotional restraint, passionate with the soul and purity of an innocent child, technique and sonic ability bordering on the line between perfection and the sublime. This combo is that good." | Ryan Clarins, 6moons.com

I understand and it is ok to voice your opinion. I am an ALO fan as well and Ken has a fantastic customer service.
