Thanks for the response, as I was having difficulties finding out the difference. As these are for my MS-1is, v2 will probably be better as I want it to look as similar to the vinyl headband as possible. Are they both made out of lambskin, or only v3?

What's the difference between the v2 and the v3? Is it worth the $15 difference? From what it looks like, the v2 is maybe a bit thinner?

Vaughn, Man, I'd be totally down but I actually live in Seattle now (I just graduated from Western in '06). I thought I had Seattle in there, but this whole forum crash has altered things. My signature is even back to the old one. Also, what phones do you use with your DV, Vaughn?

Thanks Capunk! I listen to a great deal of classical music, so that's great. However, I was hoping this system would be a good all-arounder. How do you think this combo would sound with hip-hop, alternative, traditional jazz, blues, and folk? Also, do you think the distortion was due to...

Any comparisons with a LDII or DV 336i? I'm interested in this one as well.

Hi, I'm in the market for a new tube amp, and the Darkvoice is looking really good. Do you think I'll run into any issues using a headphone with such a low impedance with the DV? Background hums get on my nerves, so I'm wondering if the DV will be silent in this regard? Does anyone have any...

Head-fi is getting downright ornery. I HIGHLY suggest the mods start encouraging good, supportive behavior before this crap snowballs and Head-fi degenerates into a venue for trash-talking.

Nov. 17, hmmm.... I think I'll be able to swing it. I'll let ya know for sure once Nov. comes along.

I'm down too. Late Dec. is preferable for me (stupid finals!). Too bad I just sold tons of stuff (HD580, Grado SR60s, DT880s, Cute Dac/Amp). The only thing I can contribute is my 3g Nano w/Headsix and SE530s.

I also had an extremely hard time changing the gain. One of the screws on the front plate was "frozen" and no amount of hand-turning with my precision screwdriver would open it. Luckily, I found an electric drill with a phillips bit that did the trick.

Genre is key. I have yet to find an iem under $500 that sounds better than the e500 with jazz, hip-hop, and soul. That said, the base may be a bit powerful for classical albums as Yo-Yo Ma's Appassionato (rolled-off highs). However, this is no longer an issue with my new Headsix (woot!). And...

On second thought, I really love the brushed aluminum look. Scratch my last post.

Wow, that amp looks sexy! Hopefully the sound is great and the price is reasonable. (Just in case anyone missed the other thread, here's a link: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=266166)

Just got the amp, it's awesome! Burning it in as we speak. While the silver looks unbelievable, it somewhat clashes with my black 3g Nano Sumo. Anyone with a black Headsix wanna trade for a silver?

I read in that really long E500 cable thread that if the cable breaks, they will replace it regardless of warranty because the issue is so common. This came directly from the Shure rep. I bought mine off of bobsound on Ebay. I believe a few people have returned their damaged headphones without...

No contest.... Sansa Shaker. Seriously, the pink extends the dynamics across the entire audio spectrum. Yo-Yo Ma never sounded so fresh. http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Cata...3_Players.aspx

Wow, now I'm concerned. My E500s are starting to get a little stiff around the ears (still malleable, though). Is the cable problems an issue of skin oils? Humidity? Satan?

No, you're not blind, its just a short blip on the Qables.com main page. That's where I got all the links. Interestingly enough, I stumbled across this amp when looking for a Qables LOD-to-RCA for a fellow head-fier.

Crazy wait times aside, the silver Diablo is by far the sexiest amp I've ever seen.......by far.

Man, I just can't keep up with all of these new amps being released! Here is some vague info on the iQube. http://www.i-qube.nl/ http://www.qables.com/index.php?id=16 From the pictures that briefly flash in the cube on the website, it looks really nice. I'm really digging how they...

Mine should be here any day now. Hopefully my ALO Cryo Micro dock will stretch enough to accommodate the amp. I'll post pics when I get 'em.

does this amp pair well with the 3g nano? I'm afraid the amp will be too long. Also, where are the impressions? I can't WAIT till my silver one comes sometime this week.
