David Pack's Biggest Part of me from the album The Secret of Movin' On. Listening to it right now....

BTW, Just got my new 160gb 7th (6th) gen and i love it paired with my UM3X direct out of the HP out.

Im sure you will like it. I remember preferring the latest Gen over my 5.5G. Let us know what you think after you had a listen.

I remember liking the classic 160gb 7th gen too. To give you an idea of my weird audio quality preference... 1. I love the 1st Gen shuffle over almost any other ipod. 2. I Prefer the original CLAS over the 2nd version. 3. I do not like the Sansa Clip's audio quality ( sounds like FM radio to...

      I have noticed this with my 2011 MPB with the regular platter HDD. Then I switched over to the 2013 MBP with SSD and the noise was gone, or so I though....Then I started noticing some static again, thinking, the new MBP's have no moving parts, no spinning hard drives. There shouldn't be...

  Thanks,   I am traveling via Qantas too. I checked the link and it is really helpful. The literature on the Passport Box says 11.2V 3000mAH/33.3WH which is below the 100Whr aircraft restriction. I also got an email from Ken saying that he has never heard of issues about bringing the...

Hi there,   I recently bought a PanAm and Passport. I plan to take it with me on a flight and I was just wondering, now with strict regulations around batteries in both checked-in and carry-on baggages on planes. I just want to know if taking the passport with me will cause any issues with the...

  Yep, I currently have 2 Algo Solos - The Original one and the new High Output Solo R. I dont have an iPod I dont even have a portable amp at the moment. :) Stuck with 2 CLAS and no way to listen to them. LOL.

  I have - With my UM3X - Full volume sounds great...but painfully loud. Dial down the volume control and bass just melts away...you are left with a tin sounding setup that costs upwards of $600.00 :) 

Subscribed. Another great product to look forward to.

Got the new Solo R Thanks to David. But now I dont have an amp, I don't have an iPod! :) So I can't use it, can't even test it. LOL!   But thank you very Much David M. for taking the extra mile. (or a few thousand miles) or me.   Cypher Labs knows how to take care of customer's. This I...

taken 15 minutes ago:       13" MBP Running Amarra Alo Audio Panam - Running through the supplied Wallwart as I will be traveling - I find the Gateway will make everything too bulky LCD2 Rev 2 - Bamboo HE-500   I used to like the HE500 quite a bit more with my other amp...

Cheers to that. :) I am another repeat customer....Threepeat actually..since this will be my 3rd CLAS. :)

I just got a response from David and he is going to work with me on options. I am just wow-ed by the kind of support he gives....at 2am in the morning! Extraordinary... all I can say for now.

Thanks, I did send an email to CL customer service. I will post updates once I get a response.

Ok AB-ing between the Solo R with my amp and just the Solo R lineout (headphone plugged into the line out directly) is night and day. If the ALO can directly amplify this sound, I would shut up. I can confirm its the amp thats making the Solo R sound thin. The Funny thing is, it only happens...

Thanks, I agree, and I saw a couple of posts that can prove that David is very supportive. The problem is I am overseas and shipping will cost about $100. And I wouldn't want to spend that much just to get a new Solo R that sounds exactly the same. I'd like to find out first if this calls for...

I hope so. Yes, I will give it some time to see if I can warm up to it. I just hate the high frequency zing on top of vocals. It has a V-shaped character that sounds hollow. Yes it has the low end grit but the middle part of the voice, which to me is the meat, is sucked out. Leaving the high...

Will do. Thank you I guess so. But I noticed the lack in coherence a few hours into listening and thought something is just not right. So I took out my old clas to compare...and so, I confirmed. I'd like to think its just the difference in SS so preference would come into play. But not right...

Hello. Without using a multi-meter Is there any way to tell if I got the new fixed Solo -R? Mine came with 2 short 30 pin to USB cables and has a much lower output than my original CLAS (Tactical Edition). As for the sound, this is very disappointing. Compared to the original CLAS, my Solo R...

  Hifiman HE500 Senn HD650 ALO Audio Continental V3 Cypher Labs Algo Solo Custom Silver IC     Not exactly a station though.

Quote:     Thanks Jerg. I am also seriously considering modding my pads into Jergpads. I am just thinking of ways to make the holes a little "neater". Paper puncher perhaps? Drill, dremel, or any other tool comes to mind. I am just too chicken to perform surgery using my "scissorhands".

Got the HE500 last Friday to replace my K701.         Compared to the HD650 (Latest Model with the silver diaphragm), the HE500 delivers a much livelier treble presentation and is less "laid-back". Overall sound is more neutral with more air and less "veil" Although I never thought...

I am hearing the same. Its not piercing as you said, just annoying on some tracks. Its really more like upper mid peak than sibilance. Same here. Its the sum of all its parts...beyond the sound, there are No skull crushing clamp and the velour pads don't get warm even after long...
