Pictures Of Your Portable Rig (part XV) - Page 249

Slight upgrade to what I had posted 4 threads ago!

Happy valentines headfi. If you noticed I tried to make a heart haha.

diyMod (240gb) -> RSA P-51 Mustang -> JH16s. Waiting on a chris_himself aftermarket cable too!

They sound very clean, balanced, I haven't had a lot of time with them yet.  Without comparing them to anything else that is a single BA they sound neutral.

Bad picture quality here (godforsaken evo takes pictures in 3d but can't take a proper photo in 2d). iPod 4g, Headstage Arrow 4g, UM Miracles and low profile lod with silver cable (forget which one exactly). Used poster strips to secure the two.The amp sits almost flush with the iPod, so it's very portable. It's my new baby :D w00t!

That is pretty slick in the way the ipod and arrow match size so nicely.  The use of tape and absence of bands completes the look.  Nice.

My rig is all over the place in size and shape since I am using ipod160gb>CLAS>iBasso Pb2 so I can especially admire something that looks less like a terrorists bomb,  

Thanks :D

Prior to this, I had been using a Just Audio uha-120 amp with the ipod. While not as sleek as the Arrow, the combo still had a pretty small footprint. The Arrow sounds pretty much as good as the uha-120, so I'm thinking about selling that one. The new combo is definitely more pocketable.

The Arrow setup has a couple of kinks that I need to iron out, though, Because the LOD curves around the edge of the amp, it partially blocks access to the headphone port. I have to move it away from the amp a bit to let the headphones in. After that, there's ample room. Also, the volume control gets a little inhibited, but placing the amp further back on the iPod solves that problem.

the player is nearly broke in half. the scroller sticks when I try to roll it some times.

the battery is nearly dead.

 

the biggest problem is I have this habit that when I wanna listen to music i have to walk around (it's broke & it make it hard to use during walking ) & the player is broke & I can't find any decent replacement for fuze & I don't like any available player in the market so far now I'm just hanging on to it. see ho it will go. i just hope it won't totally die on me.

the only solution I have for now is to grab it hard in my fist

I picked up a refurbished Fuze on Amazon for a little under $50 a few months ago. Definitely a hard player to beat for the price (and Rockbox compatibility) 

Sorry massive photo spam

Would a Sansa Fuze with a Fiio E6 and an LOD sound better then a Clip Zip with a standard audio jack connector ( Not LOD ) and Fiio E6?

I am a serious bass head if that helps.

In some cases, I actually prefer amping the headphone-out from the Fuze and foregoing the LOD altogether. It makes very little difference, to my ears. YMMV.

I liked the Klipsch S4, but then I tried the "over-ear" way of inserting them... loved it so much, I re-wired them and they are like strapping BASS CANNONS to your head!

Thanks very much. I think I will save some money by passing theL9 LOD.

I appreciate your help!

just a thought: but if it doesnt make too much difference in sound, what about in physical size? I can see it is a pretty small rig, but using an LOD with my ipod was just a lot more pocket friendly then a 3.5mm

my $0.02
