    Redwine Imod: Any Immitators?

    I'll stand by all of those comments. My iMod is serving me very well indeed. I'm now greatly looking forward to ordering an RWA modded Olive Server, and will contacting Vinnie to place an order very soon.

    Redwine iMod Review from Americanwired is up now

    I found the review to be right on the money. I've been enjoying the iMod for a good while now, plugged into an Earmax Pro/HF-1. This lot gets regular attention when the kids have gone to bed, I'm still thoroughly enjoying it. I tend to take reviews in magazines cautiously, some with a pinch...

    Red Wine Audio - iMod sir?

    This was brought up over at Audio Circle a while back. Check the thread out here: http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/v...ic.php?t=21720

    Red Wine Audio - iMod sir?

    A Quick update - and wow, how far this iMod has come after a good amount of burn in..... It sounded incredible from the off, the difference between stock line out was astonishing, but with 50 hours on it, things started to shape up. It was not until thr 80-100 hour mark that the Black gate...

    Red Wine Audio Mod or Apple Lossless

    If sound quality is your priority, then the Red Wine Audio iMod wins hands down - by a long stretch. As Jp11801 has said, you need to use Lossless. It would defeat the object if you used lossy files with the iMod, just pointless. It's designed to be hooked up to a pre/integrated or decent...

    Red Wine Audio: Questions???

    I'd second that Skylab. Mine is still settling in, but it really is astonishing what the iMod does to sound quality. I also had the head out converted to line out with the caps installed inside my 20gb - it was tight for space but Vinnie has managed it and done the business. As Skylab has said...

    Red Wine Audio - iMod sir?

    Great news is that my iModded iPod has finally arrived, Vinnie got the job done within a couple of days, Customs decided to keep it safe for me for a couple of weeks. Expectations were high and from the first 30 seconds of playback I knew I was in for a treat. The new Black Gate caps need a...

    HF-1 : Collector's Item or Main Headphone ?

    Mine are to be used and enjoyed first and foremost and will compliment my HD600. It's nice to have a limited run headphone but that's as far as it goes for me.

    Red Wine Audio - iMod sir?

    That really is great news being able to install the Black Gate NX-HiQ inside a 20 gigger, nice one Vinnie! It keeps things neat and tidy and will also enable me to properly evaluate/appreciate the AudioPath interconnect against the copper iChord cable I was using previously. I'm amazed how...

    HD-650’s Suck? Maybe it depends on…

    I suppose it all comes down to current delivery. Said decent amps I've used with the HD600 and HD650 eg Grace 901, can sound IMO great at low volume levels. For me, it's the sign of a fantastic amp if, regardless of difficult load, it still enables loudspeakers/headphones to retain the dynamic...

    SR-80 beats HD-650

    Kyle, If you do look for an amp for the 650's, Earmax Pro had served me very well and is one amp I'll never sell. Will make the Senns sing and sound great with Grado (currently have HF-1 and did have RS-1, both sound great). Ron Tabor of the Audiophile Club in London imports these and supplies...

    Red Wine Audio - iMod sir?

    Thanks for the update Skylab. I really can't wait, mine is its journey to the US now. I'm finally confident I can get a decent listen with my HD600/Cardas now, (line out-> iChord->Earmax Pro). The stock Ipod just couldn't drive these headphones without a dreary, lifeless presentation IMO -...

    Red Wine Audio - iMod sir?

    Yeah, thanks Skylab. Your informative review has given me a much clearer picture of the iMod, sound quality wise. Enjoyed reading your views. My iPod will be winging its way to the US very soon!

    Red Wine Audio - iMod sir?

    Kugino, I made enquiries with Vinnie regarding the iMod to my 4G 20Gb colour, and it can be done. Because of its smaller size the new caps will not fit inside, but in an outer cable assembly. I'm toying with the pigtail option so as to retain the head out, mind you I use the iPod 95% of the time...
