I ordered the Hybrid Series IEM cable late last year for my Noble Audio 3Cs. After some extended listening time, I can safely say that I absolutely love this cable.   First, the build quality is top notch. Great anchoring and solid feel while still retaining great flexibility. Took a bit to...

  "If not used with the computer, the Predator could be a great companion to other sources like the iPod or any portable digital player" as quoted from the instruction manual I got with the amp. 

  When those magical girls can access unlimited mana (albeit at a limited rate), it makes for some pretty epic fights. Not to mention that Bazett is on Servant level. 

It is definitely sillier than the regular Fate adaptations while still harboring some serious implications, and it still provides some top class action (maybe even better action... the Gang vs. Caster fight was pretty showy). It is a spin-off though, so you don't need to watch it right away. The...

So I bought a RSA Predator Amp/DAC with the sole intention of using it with either my 5th Gen iPod Touch or my iPhone 5. Lo and behold I can't use it with either because it draws too much power. Well there goes a $500 investment (not to mention the $75 Lighting to USB line out I bought). But I...

Lol, yes. Yes it is. I'll post pics of mine once I am less lazy now that spring break has started. 

My (trans)portable audio setup is now complete. I feel fulfilled. Now I need to go and visit my mother in Oregon next week and see how it fairs. 

  I loved Pale Cocoon, also written by Yoshiura Yasahiro. It is probably my single favorite OVA of all time. 

  It is quite punchy. Good presence and impact while still being quite tight. Comparing to my Grados, they have better impact but aren't quite as tight or as well defined. I really wish that I could compare to the MD 3.2s. I'm sure I'd be a lot more help in that case.    Listening to Hope...

  I'm not sure exactly, but it might have something to do with the increased distance to the driver. I am also not sure if the tuning was changed at all between the 3.2 and the Pro. 

  I'm just running these through a Schiit Magni, but damn do they sound good. I can't compare to the Mad Dog 3.2s unfortunately, but I wasn't expecting a soundstage like this from a closed/semi-closed can (are they closed or semi-closed?).    But I bought these to be travel phones. These, a...

Just got my Mad Dog Pros. Holy crap. That soundstage is 10x better than I was expecting.   Also, did iBasso go out of business or something? Their site is 'down'. 

I had just ordered a pair of Universal Mad Dogs last week (I was told that they had been shipped out last week Monday), but it turns out that Dan held the order and upgraded the phones to the Mad Dog Pros. I am extremely happy with Mr. Speaker's customer service... I was not expecting such a...

  I am pretty sure that the winter season is normally quite 'light' in comparison to the spring and summer seasons. On that note, I am enjoying quite a few shows from this season (Space Dandy, Noragami, Saki, Engaged, and more) as well as several from last season (Tokyo Ravens (highly...

  But Moon Audio offers their cables with the Mad Dog (or Alpha Dog) connector. XD http://www.moon-audio.com/moon-audio-blue-dragon-headphone-cable.html#   And it was certainly an interesting experience. I wasn't sure how much of a difference the cable would make. But I probably won't buy one...
