It sure takes a long time to make these Xin babies . I mean seriously, last time I checked the shipping status my wife wasn't even pregnant yet. Now my son is already 14 months old.......

I will hold on to my old Supermacro IV until it bites the dust, but I'll never buy another Xin amp until he significantly changes his business practice. 6 months' wait is beyond ridiculous.

Congratulations, you are now officially a member of team Frivolous Title.

I fail to see the point of all these fine tunings by Xin, honestly. There's no such thing as the best amp, no matter how hard you try. I'm not against his noble quest for the best, but deliverying his products on time shouldn't have been his last concern.

I demand a recount! Oh wait, it's not a vote.... Congratulations, you lucky person.

You can't agree with it because many people recommended it? Logic please.... Quote: Originally Posted by WindowsX I'm not saying Supermicro is not a good amp but since many guys in here recommended it with Supermicro, I can't agree with it.

I see a Xmas gift coming.... then I can finally be comfortable with the idea of sending my 2006 Supermacro IV for the latest upgrade.

My first Xin amp is a supermini V6, that was way before Supermacro and even Superdual(anyone?). At that time the only other choices we had for portable amps were Headroom airheads and some DIY meta42 amps. I bought a headroom first for $199, then one day decided to try the supermini, which...

You're willing to pay $100 above Xin's price for a supermicro???? I understand it's a very good amp, but still... Quote: Originally Posted by Peter Polo There is/was a 2nd hand XIN Supermicro for sale on this forum, I was willin to pay $300 but I didn't hear from the seller again. ...

I almost started a new thread for planet earth, then I realized that something so cool and unique must have been mentioned a long time ago. I particularly love the birdview shots, they are stunningly beautiful. If God ever take a look at his creations on the planet, that must be what he see.

Your words appropriately enhanced Xin's image as a mad scientist.... I'm picturing an army of ungodly creatures ravaging the headfi world and desperately looking for the beloved creator. Quote: Originally Posted by BushGuy of course this means my Supermini IV will be visiting its...

It's been a while since I listened to SR60 (my first head-fi phone 5 or 6 years ago), but I can assure you PK1 is without a doubt the better phone here by a quite large margin. IMHO It should be placed somewhere in the league of ER-4S, instead of being compared with lesser phones like ER6i as...

COUNT ME IN er-4p with aftermarket cable made my [AK]zip. It's been one of my favorite phones for four years and still going strong.

So what's the difference between the sony and the other one here? Extra piece of thin metal shiny thingy and a sony logo that cost like another $0.03? Or does it take $30 labor to make a SONY earbud? . Quote: Originally Posted by creyc Call me what you want, but I would not pay $70...

Can't really tell what your point is. To me it doesn't look any worse than a Grado (except RS-1,RS-2, those babes look gorgeous). An earbud is an earbud is an earbud. As long as it sounds good it serves my purpose. Of course these words come from the owner of a series of ugly phones... ...

Are they both amped? If so would you consider the possibility that what makes the biggest difference may be the superior cable used in the cryo LOD? Also if you are using rockbox, adjust the volume to level 0 would match the lineout volumewise, and that'll make it a fairer comparison. I don't...

Any hiss or background noise? How is the sound? Does it have a lineout?

Regarding this question, I remember an experienced headfier once carried out an experiment to AB the ipod's headphone out and lineout( with pocket dock or sik ram din, no fancy audiophile level lineout cable was available at that time). He did not find any significant difference between the two...

I miss the good old time before the whole supermacro saga. He used to sell those little suckers for $60 and you could get it in two weeks.
