    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...

    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...

    JH13 Tunes

    "Tunes You Can't Afford to Miss", on your JH13's: Given the disruptive performance of these little beauties - their unrivaled speed; which is the sonic equivalent of more pixels in an image - and, the spooky good sound signature, that Jerry has engineered into the end product I...

    Please make us a JH13 Cable

    Ken, Hoping you're into the magic Jerry Harvey JH13 custom IEMs (if you haven't gotten a pair yet - you REALLY need to) Sure seems to me that you could whip up one heck of an aftermarket cable for them. Any chance?

    3G vs. 2G iPod Touch SQ (Lineout) ?

    Has anyone compared sound quality of the Lineout of 2G Touch vs. new 3G Touch (16GB & 32GB models)? (w / LOD & a decent amp) Was disappointed with 5G Nano line out vs. 4G, on my rig. (5G sounded more remote / veiled - although good - but not the punch & forward presentation of the DAC on...

    5G Nano SQ - a Good Ending!

    Caution: I just got back from the Palo Alto Apple store, with my black (gorgeous finish) 5G Nano. Loaded it up & ran it through my ALO SXC 18AWG LOD / Mustang / JH13's. "Houston: we have a problem." Sound quality sucks!!! Also, Lineout gain is significantly lower than 4G...

    CES: Shure Updates SE110 to Dynamic Driver

    Attachment 12531 That's it, folks: The SE110 uses something called a balanced armiture driver, easy to shrink down so customers don't stretch your ear canal just because they like their damn music. Trouble was, some people didn't think there was enough bass there. When the guys went to build...

    ALO SXC 18G & 3G iPhone

    FYI: There is no reason to worry, if you get a pop-up screen on your 3G iPhone, when you plug in the ALO SXC 18G LOD. In fact, the screen says: "You will not be able to use the phone feature" According to my nephew, the Bose engineer, that is an idle threat, a marketing ploy to entice the...

    Nano SQ comparison: 4G vs. 3G

    I kept reading about the new chipset in the 4G Nano, and couldn't imagine it wouldn't result in a different sound signature. Couldn't find any detailed comparisons here. 3G Nano: CPU - Portal Player DAC - Wolfson 4G Nano: CPU - ARM DAC - Cirrus Logic Several here suggested it...

    4G Nano Line Out vs. 3G Line Out?

    The 4G Nano got a new DAC (replaced Wolfson on 3G). Wondering whether Line Out SQ with the new 4G DAC is worth an upgrade. Tried this thread on Portable Source Gear, but all they talk about is the headphone out SQ. Has anybody here (with a portable amp) compared the Line Out SQ between...

    New Krell S-300i for Christmas?

    Saw this on SlashGear - Feeding Your Gadget and Tech Obsessions today: If you want to impress your audio snob father-in-law in the coming holidays season; a Krell with Class A, directed coupled design, and a fully-balanced Ipod Integrated Amp would shut him off in agreement. The high end US...
