Thanks.  When I first started thinking about it, I was under the impression that they were push-twist-lock style connectors.  I had been contemplating getting a set of Shures or something "cheap" with that style connector to check them out.  Anyway, with more research, MMCX is just one of the...

Wow, no one?  Anyway, I had also spent some time running searches.  From the [ http://www.head-fi.org/t/677181/appreciation-westone-um-pro-series-w-series ] thread, most of the replies regarding the MMCX connector were either neutral or negative... that it was actually inferior to the 2 pin...

Hi All,   I have to send my Westone ES5's in for service and noticed that they've updated their ES line to include an extra 0 after the model numbers and also that they're using the Shure style MMCX connectors now.  While talking to the guy at Westone, I asked if they could swap out the 2...

I also saw this and became curious.  I can't imagine it will sound GREAT in a loud environment, but better than nothing if you don't want to be fully isolated.  I'm also not sure how good it would sound for music even in a quiet environment as a music device.   The last time I had IEM...

OK, I could see a possibility of that.  But, I'm still not sure it would work the setup I'm trying to use.  I generally don't put any music at all on my iPad, as it's too big to be a personal music player.  While I CAN easily put it in a pocket (I wear BDU pants daily), it's not something I...

Nice Pic :).  I really do like the "all in one self contained unit" approach of the GoDAP, even if it means I'll need a new one later this year when I upgrade my iPhone 4S with whatever is next.  You're very lucky to have them "right down the subway."  I'd also gladly pay extra for whatever...

Thanks.  The GoDAP is at the top of my list.  However, the unfortunate part about having to ship it back to Japan (from the US) every time it needs a firmware update... isn't very appealing.  If they have a way to self-update the firmware, I'll order one in a heartbeat.

  Thanks for the reply, Justin.  It makes perfect sense and seems to correspond with the error "The connected USB device requires too much power." as well as whatever Apple did to tweak the USB power settings.  As for the iPhone + camera connection kit:  I may have been mistaken, but I'm...

Hi,   Back in the day, my RSA The Predator DAC used to work with my iPhone and iPad1 when plugged in via the camera connection kit (USB).  After a certain software update (4.3.x I think), that functionality stopped.  The only thing I saw around the same time was that Apple had tweaked the...

Well, I think it's time for a new pair of custom IEM's early next year.  I've got a pair of JH13's now.  Not saying that there is anything wrong with the current JH16 and I'd probably be very happy with them.  However, my original pair of JH13's were in production when they released the JH16 for...

Quote: Technically, t would be.  However, I haven't really found any that are more reliable.  The stock cables get nasty and deteriorate within 4-6 months.  The Beat Audio one was a bit fragile.  The problem is, I actually like the TWag cable while it works, I just want to make it...

It seems as though there is an ongoing problem with the Whiplash Audio TWag cables.  I've had two fail in under a year, now have a third.  With how unbelievably long it takes to get a replacement from Whiplash when they fail, I've been thinking of ways to improve the cable and potentially use...

Oh yeah, an update.  I still haven't received the replacement cable from Craig.   Also, Craig:  the Right+ conductor on this cable is dead again.  Ground and Left+ are fine.  Back to life in Mono.  I would have brought it up sooner, but figured you'd have taken care of it with the...

Quote: PM'd, but in case that gets lost:   TWAg 64" Oyaide Right Angle connector.  "old style" wooden splitter.  

Quote:     Hi Craig,   You offered to send a replacement cable on 9/15/2011.  It has not arrived yet (10/24/2011).  I guess this sort of delay is to be expected at this point.  Please provide an update.   Thanks, - Sasha.    

Craig, For what it's worth, you may want to adjust the holes or finish on the wooden slider.  I've only adjusted it ~20 times tops since Monday night and it's really abrading the jacket of the wire (taking off slices).  Any suggestions on how to resolve that?  oil?  remove the slider?  ...

Quote: Thanks, they're Blacklight Blue transparent (blacklight reactive) JH13's.  Yes, everything is sounding great so far, I've been putting both cables through their paces.  The cable probably has about 30 hours on it so far.  

Received mine this week.  Here are some photos:        

As an update, I received a new TWag overmold cable and LOD on Monday evening.  My portable setup is finally back together.       

Thanks for the update.

Hi Craig,     This is a weekly check in.  You've had my cable since August 5th.  I'd like it back.   Thanks.  

I received a reply fairly quickly after a heated PM to Craig on Aug 11th.  He acknowledged that my cable was there and that he would include a bottom exit LOD with the repaired cable.  I PM'd him back again today (23rd) and have not received any response yet.   As a comparison, I decided to...

Thanks for this review, Joe.  Which of these yo you think will stand the test of time as far as durability against failure?  I'm not rough on my equipment, but I use it all day every day.  The stock cables seem to last a few months, 5-7 at BEST before developing faults/just going bad.  I've just...

Hi Craig, I've left you a voicemail and PM.  Please confirm that you received my faulty TWag IEM cable on Friday.   Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering if this is still an issue.  I sent both csanborn@whiplashaudio.com and custserv@whiplashaudio.com an email on July 13th and the same email again on July 22nd with no results.  This was regarding two issues. First being a TWag OM cable that has completely lost the right...
