Don't worry so much about what everyone else is hearing. If it's neutral to you, then it's neutral. We've already had a few members who were not impressed by the diyMod's sound and whose impressions didn't match those of the iMod listeners. When you're listening to it, don't worry so much about trying to pick up on the nuances. If they're there, they'll present themselves. Don't think about it too much, just listen. 
Maybe I did give you too much credit on the unused pin part (don't worry, you can keep it
). Nevertheless, we've stumbled upon a serendipitous observation: there are now tons more unused pins in the nano of which we had no idea. That allows direct-to-dock solderers more space with which to work, so mishaps like ruZZ.il's click wheel ribbon cable slot melting accident can hypothetically be reduced in occurrence and likelihood. To push the matter even further, I'm requesting that diyModders and/or the average iPod-owning DIYer can confirm the usability of pins 8, 9 and 10 on their respective iPod models. I know what the pinouts.ru site says, that 9 and 10 are only used on the 4G photo and that 8 is the video pin for video-capable and photo iPods, but I just wanted to double check. They really ought to make a list for each iPod line up to notify users of such tidbits as the FireWirelessness of the nanoes. Perhaps we can even whip up our own list. Thanks, everyone.
