Review: Portable amp roundup! 56 portable amps reviewed and compared - FINAL update 12-20-10... - Page 162  

Why get rid of the D5000/D7000 Skylab and keep the JVC only? I just heard Denons for the first time today, and OH MY GOD. The bass compared to grado is UNREAL. A head-fier brought over DT880s, and D5000/D7000 and man I loved all three more than anything I own. Want the 880s, but cant decide between the 5k and 7k.

Hello Skylab,
Thank you for the review.

I am worried by STORM 3 and LT1.
STORM is a new model named STORM 3 CUSTOM.

Will you schedule Review to be done?

The possession of the battery is not good and it is hesitant though Mini3 is within the budget.

Thank you for a quick response.
It looks forward to your review.

Does the 770 have more bass? And what does going from 250ohms to 600 do to the sound sig?

Where do you carry that stuff?

lol ..same bag I use for my iPod dock




...iPod/SR-71A/DX1000 is just a 'round the house use rig.

Wow!
I also have thought.

thats insane like a bomb

Well all's insane here. I'm so happy to have my C&C BOX modified with LME49721 opamps (in place of the two AD822 that made the gain stage) and with Rubycon ZLH power caps (in place of the original Nichicon VR). Little work, great sounding amp.


Anyway, I think everyone should be more conscious of their real needs, and have amps (etc.) that are proportionate to the contents of the music they listen to. I see so many people around with $$$ portable amps (not to mention their costly jewel-like IEM's etc.) that listen to the most mediocre of music.

This is my first post on head-fi and this thread was instrumental in getting me started. Just wanted to say thanks to Skylab for his time and effort in doing these reviews and to others for their input on this thread. Looking forward to learning more about this addiction, er hobby.

Welcome to head-fi, and sorry about your wallet!

Thanks HPA, I wish someone warned me beforehand!

I noticed you have paired the iBasso D10 and ATH-ESW10JPN's...do they match well with each other? How does it sound?

It sounds good - I believe I mentioned it in my big USB DAC amp review thread. (see public profile "about me" for links to my reviews). Everything sounds nice with D10, and ESW10 sound nice with all my amps.
