Review: Portable amp roundup! 56 portable amps reviewed and compared - FINAL update 12-20-10... - Page 148  

[QUOTE=HeadphoneAddict;5231345........... I actually have the eneloop in my ipod video glasses..........[/QUOTE]


WTF are they??? they sound mad. can you use them at the same time an amp?? well I guess you can either way by using the HP out. I assume they use the dock connector?? pics please or linky?? please larry

qusp, eneloop is a rechargeable battery made by Sanyo. They have low internal resistance and remain charged at about 85% after a year of storage. Check: SANYO eneloop | Ready to use Rechargeable Battery - The only battery you will ever need

Yes, the iPod video glasses plug into the headphone out and use the extra conductor for component video out, while providing built in earphones (halfway decent). So, I can privately watch a video with a simulated big screen, like on a plane, without needing to carry a big 7" external screen. I have the iMod LOD to amp plugged into the bottom, to use with nicer IEM.

I'll try to get a photo later.

These? I always wondered about them - do they give you fatigue? How long can you comfortably watch for?

I'll have to check mine, they are either MyVu or Nyko, and they are fine for a full length movie. Never tried them longer than that.

Hello guys,

I wanted to know the price on Amps from the SQ list but couldn`t ask anyone to do it

So did it myself. Don`t know if anyone has done this prior to me, but here it is. For some I really could not find anywhere official about the price.
It would be great to update the first post with it!!

Cheers,

You might want to update the first page = ). Prices in USD of course.

Not surprising, the higher end sounds significantly better.

I personally think the Nuforce Icon Mobile should be listed here at some level. Maybe this is one the Skylab is working on. For the price it is a true value.

Even though this may have been mentioned earlier, I have to suggest that Skylab...or someone...include the SR71a on their growing portable amp comparison lists. This amp seems to be well recieved by almost all...but there is no "formalized" comparison review out there and I can't understand why. The SR71a is arguably RSA's "statement product" and it has really flown under the radar, with it's omission from the review lineups creating an obvious hole (when often several, or all other RSA amps are included).

The newer P-51 has gained far more spotlight and reviews...even though there are less in circulation right now. My assumption is that the P-51 has caught more interest because it is smaller and around $75 less expensive. But how does it sound compared to it's nearest release mate...who knows?

Some may argue that it's not worth the review because they are no longer available. However, there are enough out there that they will be circulating in the used forums for many years to come.....and someone wishing to pick one up will be able to if they're patient.

Just my $.02.

Edit: Ironically...a fresh P-51 vs. SR71a comparison thread was posted as I was typing this

Hi Skylab,

First, must say I fully agree with everything said about and am loving the pretty spectacular P-51 Second, was just wondering, being a bit of a basshead myself (I know, sorry ), which of your top rated amps would tend to favour bassheads (Slight, lol), if not actually the P-51. Interested to know which of your top few have the most/biggest bass punch, though loving what the P-51 is doing. Seems like you've all got me on that wallet destroying trail Ah well, loving the ride

P.S. - Bandeira, nice work on the pricing list

mrarroyo is sending Skylab one to add to the review.

Hmmm.....mrarroyo has an SR71 and sold his SR71a as far as I know....so I assume it's actually an SR71 coming Skylab's way?
