I appreciate all of the good advice. I listen mostly to classical music, so I think I have a very sensitive ear for all the nuances of sound produced by orchestras and chamber groups, which create an extraordinary range of tone, timbre, harmonics, and the like. So I don't think the sensitivity...

What's important to me is the quality of the sound and the convenience of wireless, because in the end, that's what matters to me. I detect no difference whatsoever with the UEs plugged directly into the amp or listening via the Sleek via the setup I have. And the UEs are not at all power hungry...

The wireless transmitter takes the audio output from the amplifier and transmits it to the wireless receiver attached to the UE11 monitors. It transmits whatever it gets from the amp. So the principle is the same is being plugged in -- the better sound coming from the source, in this case, the...

Here's my solution: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/m...le-rig-448246/

Since I travel frequently, mostly on airplanes, I've been experimenting with a convenient, secure, compact, and lightweight way to take my iPod 160gig, iQube V2, ad Sleek wireless equipped UE10s, and related accessories on the road. I've finally found solution using the very nicely made...

So far, this is a failed experiment. Got everything to fit and all is wired as it should be, but the iPod produces an error message every time I try to boot it up. So far, I can't diagnose and fix the problem. I've put it aside for the moment for other projects, but I'll get back into it...

I don't know - the fact that they sell Bluetooth compatible monitors tells me sound quality may not be that important to them. Bluetooth is dreadful for music. Have they not hear of Kleer's wirleless technology? Given the business they're in you'd think so.

Doing that for sure.

I hope that's not a problem, but I should know the answer tonight or tomorrow night, when I fire it up. I've been triple checking everything as I go, and so far it all works. The correct audio outputs from the iPod have been made to the inputs on the Sleek circuit board and the iPod battery is...

I'm tinkering around again. I've taken apart my 160g iPod Classic, 6th generation, and I'm modifying it so the Sleek wireless transmitter can built into the iPod itself. This way there will be no plug-in device sitting on top of the iPod and no need to separately charge the Sleek transmitter...

Shortening the wires would be very difficult. The wires in the Sleek Accessory (and the Opera as well, I'm sure) are very, very thin, with a fine clear coating that is very hard to remove so they can be soldered (I know, since I tried and only succeeded with great difficulty). Right and left...

It worked! Sound is great, no flaws. I'll post a few pictures of the finished job later.

Being a gambler and do-it-yourselfer, I decided to take apart one of my two Sleek Wireless Accessories to see if I could direct wire it to my UE Pro10s, using the UE cable and pin plugs. I'm not finished yet, but so far I successfully opened the Sleek Wireless Accessory, desoldered the stock...

I travel quite a bit -- about three or four flights a week, and my iPod with Apple Lossless, Sleek W-1, Corda 3Move amp, and UE10s go with me everywhere, since having access to the music I love is about the only way I can maintain some semblance of sanity. So I've invested in developing a...

Quote: Originally Posted by MaloS I have a hard time figuring out why you didn't just plug the Sleek wireless directly into the line-out of the iPod... Simple, and the reasons are two. One, when you use the line-out you lose volume control, and the default level is deafening...

I've been reading all the concerns about skipping, and I've solved the problem. I carry my ipod with the Sleek transmitter attached in a leather shoulder bag when I'm on the move and that's eliminated the skipping almost completely. I discovered the solution by accident but it works. The...

Some good suggestions here. I've been using my rig now for a few weeks and just love it. Have used it everywhere -- on planes, trains, in the car, walking the dog, working out, riding my bike. One funny thing: when I have the iPod out in the open or in my pants or jacket pocket I get...

OK, here are some photos of the gear. First the resistance soldering tweezer hand pieces. The tweezers for soldering are on the left, those for wire stripping on the right. To use the soldering tweezers, you squeeze the pieces to be soldered between the tweezers, push the foot switch which...

The site crash this afternoon seems to have resulted in some posts on this thread being lost. Someone asked to see photos of the gear is used to do the soldering and wire stripping. I'll do that shortly.
