I've been a fan of the iMod for a while. But I have noticed that I don't benefit from it greatly when I'm on the go, which is when I mostly use it. So instead of carrying the extra baggage, I thought I would find a more portable mp3 player that I will mate with my Go-Vibe 5. I have abandoned...

Has anyone used this device? I'm curious to know what the headphone amp section is like. Is it your average receiver headphone output, or something more extraordinary?

I've written about what I want to do with my rig a few times. Thanks everyone for your help. I have pretty much settled on this. I've still got the M^3 on the back on my mind, but this has a lot more feedback. So my planned setup is 5.5gen iMod -> DIY Sonicap Dock -> Lisa III -> Etymotic...

As I had stated in another thread, I am looking for an amp to mate with my ER-4S. I got recommended to some very good portables. Then while studying those amps I came across transportables. Now we're talking. I will be using a bag, so I really could care less how big the amp is as long as it can...

Hey Guys, I am going for a Sonicap Dock for my upcoming 5.5gen iMod. I have a question about it though. I will be carrying a separate bag to house all this in, so size is not of an issue to me. The V-Cap dock uses a 4.7uf cap, and I'm planning to get one with the same size in Sonicap. I'm...

Hey guys (and the smaller population of gals), I've read, and read, a lot about headphone amps in the past few years. Essentially, I can't listen to each one to decide what is best. That is a big hit to my wallet. I am getting a 5.5gen iMod (I know how great these things are as I have owned...

It's been more than 4 months since I placed my order for a SuperMicro IV. I ordered it sometime in mid-May, and I know that the good Doctor does not like being bothered with questions about when it will arrive, but I am getting awfully worried that he lost my order How long do wait times...

I've been through a few speakers and I find myself disappointed each time with the high-end. Very few speakers offer than openness and detail that the Etymotic ER-4S does does in the higher frequencies. For those headphiles here, what would you say is the speaker that is closely matched to the...

I am currently using a mini-mini from my iMod to my amp. But these anticables have me thinking. Would they perform better than my current silver mini-mini? It's DIY'd with a four-wire litz with neutrik termination. I originally got into the idea of anticables because I plan to use them as...

I noticed this somtimes before, but moreso now. Since I received my iMod, the openess and the natural timbre has absolutely blown me away. But I am picking up a shrill upper end with some present sibilance. Most the high end is shrill. I'm not sure if its the iMod, or whether it's bringing out...

http://blog.stereophile.com/china2006/120306hothead/ This amp looks like it has bargain written all over it. Does anybody here have any experience with it, or have any more information on it? A google search brought up nothing.

Hi, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I can't seem to figure out how to edit the id3 tags of FLAC files (don't know if it's called id3 for FLAC). Help?

Alright, I've been tempted enough to re-rip my CDs to FLAC. This is going to be several long weeks... I'm going to look into what decoder to use, as I have never ripped to FLAC before, with my experience lying solely with LAME. But here's the thing I liked about mp3s. Several CDs are recorded...

Mini-to-Mini interconnect is what I'm searching for. Guys! I certainly cannot afford ALO cables, although people are claiming that they will make a substantial difference when I heard before that cables only make a subtle difference. So, here I am tending to my crying wallet, assuring her that...

Okay guys, I am seriously considering getting the SuperMicro IV now. The Go-Vibe 5's size is annoying to carry in my pocket. I tend not to velcro them and carry them in a separate case since that just ruins portability for me. I like my iPod on the go. After getting the Red Wine mod (still in...

I know this is a silly question. But just out of curiosity; In those picture that Turbo put up of his Turbodock V8, there is a picture of a black iPod with a red circle in the middle of the click-wheel. It looks really glossy and... shiny hahah. Essentially, is it a case? If so, where do I find one?

I am essentially looking for a no frills audio output for my laptop. I'm guessing USB is the most common kind for this. I am not looking for any sort of processing, as I just want to output bit-perfect via s/pdif. Obviously, the cheaper the better, as they will all sound the same, considering...

Getting into the low-fi of headphones for work (in the summer). I can't be expected to lug my Etys. I don't think they would be too happy about me isolating myself. I have personally heard the Koss KSC-75 and gave them to my sister and a few friends as a present, so I have quite a bit of...

Hey guys, I'm currently in possession of the Go-Vibe 5, and I have decided to go for the iMod. I'm also buying a new interconnect, and I thought of maybe updating my amp if it's a worthwhile difference. After talking to several people, I came across these two to be the best bargain in terms...

Okay, several questions to ask here. First being the major one I want to get out of the way. The iMod is the big thing here that I'm after. However, I have heard incredible things about the Cotton Dock from ALO as well. So, I'm bound to ask, is the difference between the iMod and the Cotton...

Hey Folks, I am seriously considering getting the iMod done, and I am guaranteed to jump on it as soon as I sell off my ipod mini and get myself a 4th gen. Now, I've never been a big believer in cables, but I think I am going to take the leap. Now I am looking for something very budget as the...

Cmoy vs Go-Vibe 5 (headphone amps) Hey, I am in the market for a headphone amp to drive my Etymotic ER-4S coming out of an ipod mini 6GB, and I believe I am going to get a turbodock (lineout) for the ipod as I have heard good things about using it instead of the headphone jack. The two amps...
