I am using the audio output from the dock port of my iPod Photo as an input to a portable amp (Ray Samuels Hornet), and then to my headphones. In this configuration, I get a severe ground loop hum when I touch the metal part of the iPod. I have four iPods, but it only happens with the Photo...

i have been burning in my Hornet, using iPod > Turbo Dock > Turbo IC > Hornet > HF-1. I just noticed that, when I am using the battery charger, I get a very loud ground loop hum if I touch the metal body of the iPod. What is wrong here? Thanks, Ken

I sent in my HF-1's to Larry for the Headphile mod. My big decision is the terminator. I have a Grado 1/8 to 1/4 adapter from my SR-60 and I have a Grado 1/4 to 1/8 adapter (with short cable). So what do I order on my Headphiles? I will probably use them more frequently as a portable setup with...

I have been coming to the Head-Fi forum for a couple of months, and I can't believe how active it is. I usually select the "New Posts" button and can check every hour to find several new pages! I love this, Ken

I just tried putting my Hornet in between my iPod (pocket dock) and my cassette adapter for the car, and it seemed to improve the sound quite a bit. Anyone else doing this? Ken

I just tried using the wired remote from my prior iPod with the 60 GB, and it doesn't work. It passes the audio through to my headphones, but it doesn't control the iPod. Is it broken, or does it not work with this generation iPod? Thanks, Ken

I was using the Pocket Dock with the included light weight cable to connect my iPod to the Hornet, but I switched to the Ram Din. Now the connection at the Hornet is very loose. When I move my setup, I frequently loose a channel and need to play with the plug. Is this typical of the Ram Dins 1/8...

I just sent in my HF-1 for a Paduak upgrade with 1 meter of the standard cable. I will be using these when travelling with my iPod and Hornet combo and the Grado 1/4 to 1/8 adapter and at home from my Portal Panache. At home I have a Grado extension. My question is what length is best for travel...

I use the above mentioned setup to listen to mostly classic rock and blues (in Apple Lossless encoding). I also use Grado SR60. My home rig is a Portal Panache (very good headphone section - http://www.portalaudio.com/headphone_use.html) with Penaudio speakers and Grado SR125 (I also ordered the...

I am planning on buying a Hornet amp to go with my iPod 60GB and Shure E4C. Who makes the best case to use with this setup. Thanks, Ken ps No need to reply. I found my answer here: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...t=interconnect
