Audiominor LOD vs Fiio L3 LOD vs other cheapish LOD's for ipod / iphone - Page 2

That actually looks pretty legit. I'd go with the audiominor one, couldn't be any worse than falling apart in the first 5 hours lol.

Which option looks best?

1. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320457158641&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

 

2. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270693236145&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

 

3. 20cm lead http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IPOD-LINE-OUT-DOCK-LOD-HEADPHONE-AMP-BEST-DEAL-/250720184068?pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item3a60166704

 

I think the 2nd option looks good, as the 3rd (audiominor) one is not as flexible.

 

Thanks

To me the last 1 looks like it would be the most flexable, i have a braided coax cable which looks like the first 2 and it has the flexablity of a metal rod.

Haha, in the pictures though it is seen coiled up, and when i emailed about the audiominor one he said that once bent it will maintain its position, so i could only assume that means that it wont be flexible, unlike the other two.

I dont really need it to be really flexible, its just that i dont want to damage the wire as i will be betting it at around 20 - 30cm so it will bend due to the nature of the length!

Do you think sound will be the same from all of them?

Thanks

Will there be any audible difference between them, as if not i think ill get the 1st option as durability looks good!

Probley not, nothing more than a slight sonic difference anyway, i'd go for the 1 thats the most pratical.

I'm actually thinking about getting a silver/copper lod from audiominor at some point. The only thing is it's the most expensive ($55). Has anyone experienced major differences between silver plated copper ($25) vs. copper/silver?

I believe there's one more LOD by Audiominor that is more expensive and is all copper. However, I've just taken the plunge on the silver/copper Audiominor LOD you mention to pair with the Fiio E9/E7 combo I also just ordered, so I'll report back here when they've arrived. Unfortunately my review may be close to worthless for you as I've no previous LOD experience to compare it to. I made something of an impulse buy on the LOD based on the favourable review here http://www.pda-247.com/wordpress/2010/11/fiio-e9-headphone-amp-audiominor-cables-review/

There is no need to "upgrade" from the L3 just because it is inexpensive. Inside it is Oyaide OCC copper custom cable which is higher grade than practically everything else out there, same stuff that's in ALO's nice LODs. The whole thing is molded so it is as tough as you can get. You, and I, could not ask for a better LOD. I'd rather link someone to an L3 LOD than build someone an LOD, that's how sure I am that the L3 is great, and how much I hate making LODs.

The money would be better spent on earphones or a new amp at least you will actually be able to hear a difference for your money with amps and headphones.

But have you actually tried it?  (¯3¯)
