I think it's "Gyros" Nice seeing you there Crimson (i was the asian guy with the blue polo) Great meet, it was my first time. Wasn't feeling too well though unfortunately. Excellent set ups all around.

It's been reported that Apple's dock has a variable line out (not a "true" line out). I suggest getting a Turbodock II (PM him, his name on head-fi is "TURBO"). The Sik Din or Pocketdock can work too.

Though I no longer own any Shure IEMs. Their customer service for repair/replacement is top notch! Like said before on head-fi, they don't care how bad, they'll replace it. I had E2c's with the housing totally demolished (an accident on my part) and they replaced it.

I'm sure you got the real deal.

no noise here with my go-vibe (2227 op-amp). Norm set my amp with a gain setting of 2.5 so there is a low noise floor with my headphones (so no hiss is great too for me low impedance 'phones). Even hooked up to my PSU (12V linear regulated), there is no noise.

Unfortunately, I can't give you a solution to your problem. . . but Welcome to head-fi and sorry about your wallet

my Go-Vibe V4 arrived yesterday (#50 of #50, yes I got the last Go-Vibe!). My power supply arrived today and im awaiting some Grado SR-60s (i decided to start up my rig with an entry Grado model), Turbodock II and interconnect on Friday. I can't wait!
