Livewires - California Dreamin'
They've arrived! Unfortunately I have the flu and am a bit congested . After having them on now for about a half hour they are very comfortable.

Livewires - California Dreamin'
Can anyone who owns an iBasso P2/T2 or a Mini^3 paired with the Livewires comment on SQ and sonic characteristics? Is it even worth amping the Livewires? I have a set on the way, clear with black face plate with blacked out connectors. I'll be using it with a 5.5g 30GB iPod video with an LOD...- lmrv12

Portable amp for ~$110
I just bought a Portaphile X^3. It's small and very solid looking. The nice thing about the unit is you can upgrade later ( once budget allows ) to better caps, class A biasing, buffers and DC panel (highly recommended). I upgraded the to the Black Gate caps so I'm burning it in now before I...- lmrv12
