Thanks

They are pretty much the same. Not in your face but natural and well integrated. There is no sign of any grain in the sound spectrum from the Shadow and the mids has that 3D quality with well recorded music.

I am actually disappointed in the looks... I think I just like my Pico better.

...The Shadow Knows....

It's so small, I think that I'd need a "Clapper" to find it in my house.

is the LED fragile? it looks breakable.... it's sticking out a ton.
And I don't like the look of the new volume control, but that doesn't really matter.

But please, can someone tell me the output power of this and the mustang? And which has a longer battery life?

jamato-

Do you have a picture of the Shadow next to a generic item like a 9 volt battery or dollar bill for scale? I have not seen any of those other amps in person.

Thanks!

I am not disappointed in the looks, and I would note that the LED power switch looks very much like the one on my Mustang. In the pic, it does appear to protrude a lot, but the switch on my Mustang has proved quite durable.

The power switch does not stick out very much and is not fragile. Running time with my JH13's is 75 hours or a little more on one charge.

The big shoot out will be the shadow and the pico slim.
Just as a passing comment, i have been listening to the T3 as well lately, and in the right set up and in the right application, the T3 matches the performance of much heavier weight opposition- caffeine ultra, P3+ and even the SR-71- each has it's shining moments with the right hardware/music, but the T3 hold's it's head up high- especially when paired with the sansa clip and modified im716's. This is all dependent on track selection of course, but generally, for just in the pocket- the T3 rocks.
I am very curious to see how the shadow and the pico slim will perform in a truly portable environment with pocketable sources.

I am not at all sure what you mean by the "right application" and "dependent on track selection." Could you be more specific on what you mean by this? I already have a couple of potable amps, but I can't see carrying more than one around at a time "depending on application and track selection." I don't have any head time with the T3, so would love to hear what your thoughts are.

Where is the gain switch? On the bottom?

Is this amp more powerful than the tomahawk?
