6G Nano - First Impressions
Yep it really works. (confirmed to me by Apple and a golden-eared Member of the Trade here, as well as my own ears) However, many others dispute this fact (full disclosure). Cant imagine using my portable rig without it. - last 3 generations of Nano (to my ears) have a...- SierraHotel01

6G Nano - First Impressions
humanafterall, the 6G Nano has the same factory preset EQ settings as the iPod Touch, accessible via the "Settings" menu. I personally use a custom EQ technique that works for me, but which many here claim has no effect. in iTunes, on Playlist page, View/View Options -...- SierraHotel01

Any portable amps small enough for the new ipod nano?
Quote: RSA Shadow pairs nicely with 6G Nano (and JH16's). PS: the LOD is an ALO Low Rider (highly recommend it)- SierraHotel01

JH13 Tunes
Thanks - will give those Blue Stone albums another listen. (sure wish Bella Sonus - Robert Smith? and Angel Suarez - would get together again, and give us another album) Here's another one: Santana (with Yo Yo Ma on cello): While My Guitar Gently Weeps - this one track...- SierraHotel01

Quote: Agreed. But, where can I find a more powerful amp, with the small form factor of the Shadow? - it mates so well with the 6G Nano- SierraHotel01

Quote: Heavy iPhone user: enjoy JH13's [when I want isolation and best un-amped SQ] and Blox TM5's [for convenience - btw, the TM5's blow the socks off Yuin PK2's, at least, to these ears - highly recommend as earbuds]. Was pleasantly surprised with the audio signal train on the...- SierraHotel01

I agree with you, on the lol. [matter of fact, suppressing a "lol" right now] Strange, don't you think, how only a very few companies, along the way, repeatedly impress their customers over & over, with generation, after generation of noteworthy product performance, value...- SierraHotel01

Pictures of Your Portable Rig [Part XIV]
Still have a Tomahawk myself. (loved it, back in the day - still a great little amp) Gave my Mustang to a friend, along with a set of Westone 3's (absolutely loved it) The Shadow? DEFINITELY worth the upgrade. Compared to Tomahawk, the Shadow has: More PRAT more...- SierraHotel01

Glad you mentioned it. Just now, compared Nano 6G headphone-out, directly with amplified line-out through Shadow, (wasn't expecting much) wow - surprisingly good headphone out - surprisingly good - drives the JH16's quite respectably - collapsed sound stage, scalpel gone from...- SierraHotel01

6G Nano - First Impressions
It's getting trashed by all the reviewers, but I had a sneaking suspicion, that Steve & Co. would deliver a bloody good audio signal train since they were taking away the video / video cam capability and maintaining the same price point. It's very early - just a couple hours of...- SierraHotel01

JH Audio JH16 Pro First Impressions
Quote: My TWags have >300 hours on them. The ALO cable has about 100 hours. Both the ALO LOD (18 AWG) and the ALO cable are silver coated copper - same wire formula - just different gauges. Maybe mixing the TWag cable with the ALO LOD - is not synergistic - but my ALO LOD is my gold...- SierraHotel01

JH Audio JH16 Pro First Impressions
Quote: Yes - the TWag did need a long long burn in - I've probably got a few hundred hours on it (> 300) The ALO sounded great right out of the box - probably have about 100 hours of burn in, on the ALO. Ken at ALO uses SXC - I believe it's either 22 or 24 AWG. - typically...- SierraHotel01

Would I get pretty noticeable microphonics if I use the ALO cable for running with my 16's? Glad you brought this up: I have not noticed any microphonics in normal everyday mobile use with my rig. The only time I've ever noticed some microphonics on the ALO, is if the cable...- SierraHotel01

FWIW: I was an early adopter on the JH13 and the JH16. Have both the TWag and the ALO aftermarket cables. BUY the ALO cable for your JH Audio earphones !!! No contest. Ken's customer service (in my experience) has been impeccable! Repeat: if you like your JH13 /...- SierraHotel01

Whiplash Audio TWag Cable on JH13's
Happy New Year, everyone! Update on TWag + JH13 + RSA Shadow: remember how "blown away" you were, when you first plugged into the JH13's? Get ready for another epiphiny... At 250+ hours burn-in, Craig's TWag cables + JH13's - absolutely EXPLODE!!! As Craig told me (long ago)... -
Whiplash Audio TWag Cable on JH13's
Well Craig - you had me scared there, for a minute. (FWIW: mine didn't tighten up on the bottom end until around 150hrs., and at about 225 hrs., the top end is finally getting some really good air) This wire needs a long burn in. But, the rewards are astounding!!! (Whiplash - you... -

Whiplash Audio TWag Cable on JH13's
Just ordered a 48" TWag (brand new product - high strand count silver) cable for my JH13's, from Craig @ Whiplash. (It was a pleasure doing business with him) $275 reported to sound even better than his well-received SCSCag cables. Anybody have a TWag cable yet? (if not, I'll post...- SierraHotel01
