The second stage of the modification -- Black Gate caps, et al. -- will be incorporated into the cable, which will somehow allow Vinnie to give us both options.
how does that work??? I cant think of how this can work at all. Can you please explain a little more?
FWIW...a 120GB HD of that size will kill your wallet. The Toshiba ones are insanely pricey, like $700 range...and they're not 120GB....
And that's $700+ BEFORE YOU EVEN HAVE THE iPOD, let alone have it modded, THEN have to buy the cable. Prepare to be iBroke.

Looks like we could've been in the same room at the same time? I just got back. Maybe you saw me, I had a large camera rig.
I agree this room sounded pretty good.
I guess I'll follow you to the other thread for impressions now and prepare pics.

My advice to you:
- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.
Innovation is great. Vinnie had to come up with something or his ability to expand Imod sales would be limited. I hope Imod V2 sounds as good, or better than V1. With Vinnie and Ken working on this project, it's a fair assumption the final product will be impressive.

So much for thinking my portable rig was almost complete. When I heard that Vinnie's refurbished 4g ipods were drying up, I felt pretty smart for having snagged an imod when I did (a couple weeks ago). I don't feel quite as smart now, but at least I have some beautiful music to make me feel better.
Seriously, though, I would kill to have a 5g imod, with the slimmer design, gapless playback through itunes (I'm not a rockboxer), and video playback. I just hope there's still enough refurbished 5g ipods around when I finally dig myself enough out of debt to buy a 5g imod.
