The predator seems to be the current fave in that price range. Great sound, great DAC, great convenience features (size, battery life), great quality.

Predator. I've decided to do the same thing, and have bailed on my x-can. Ray has told me that he runs his predator off AC 24x7, and does not see a reason it would be an issue for the amp or sound quality. {DOH!} sorry i didn't catch the budget in your post...

Yikes... what other amps did you or have you tried with your Ushers? just wondering about your thoughts relative to the Bel Cantos.

You said you weren't using it much but were looking to replace it. Why are you replacing it? Are you looking for something more multi-purpose or are you just looking to change things up a little? This thing you are not using looks like a lot more than a headphone amp. and it appears to...

The vcap LOD only has value inhte system with the iMod. The LOD contains output coupling caps that are necessary to support the 5.5 and earlier versions of the ipod. Your classic is a complete design as is. The coupling caps would actually degrade the sound. The positive thing is that based on...

Anybody else come across this?.... http://www.krellonline.com/misc/0269_001_MAN.pdf also mentioned on http://www.avrevforum.com/showthread.php?t=976 (hopefully this is the right forum - amps seemed less appropriate) Besides the 1500$ price tag...there appear to be a lot of...

Mine fit out of the box.. but as i posted earlier... i had two different audiologists. The first made crappy impressions, and the experience was so bad i didn't see any reason to give them another chance. Subsequently i went to another audiologist on UE's list, that was also directly...

throwing out this thought... since no one has mentioned it.. Make sure that various differnt tips are available for whatever you buy. I have a radioshack soldering station taht my extended family bought me for christmas a while back. When i actually started using it, i found the standard tip...

I was in EXACTLY the same dilemna you are. I bought a Hornat and ordered a Xin amp (supermicro). Here was the decision point. - It's immediately avaialble - It fits into my gigabag (it's really pretty darned small) - Of the reviews i've read, it appeared to consistently be liked better...

i've tried the buring thing.. it seems to just destroy the wire. Lacqer thinner didn't seem to work either... I'll have to try some flux... I've gotten a new soldering rig since i tried this a few years ago. Thanx for the reply... BTW the MEK is stuff is a little freaky... reminds me...

I've searched around for this but can't seem to find the magic formula.... The wire appears to be an enamel coated lititz. How does one clean or solder that cable so that one can reterminate a mini pin or 1/4" connector?

what is there to debate?... You use different tools to accomplish different things. If your budget allows, you have a large collection of tools to apply in the circumstance that's relevant. Besides a bunch of toys to just play with because it's fun. I have a dedicated and treated...

Got mine yesterday... Yup the fit is pretty tricky... took 10 minutes to get the left one out. HA!

You might want to read this thread from Xin about the ety's. http://www.fixup.net/tips/ety/ety.htm Although it discussing modification, it's pretty darned informative and a good read.

Ren0nie0 ton of interesting banter here.... ...one thing i would recommend is that no matter what you buy, i would buy them from a source that allows returns. You're not going to know what you don't like until you buy them. ...and getting stuck with 300-400$ headphones that you need to...

exactly what i did... ordered a super micro three weeks ago... ordered my Hornet today. in stock, i'll have it before the weekend. Burnt in by next thursday. Best sound quality that fits in a gigabag with great service and support.

ER-6i, ER-4s gave the ER-6s to my daughter when i got the 4s kids get all my hand me down head phones, i get their hand me down iPods. :-)

Hey... i don't know any of you guys yet.. and would sure like to attend. Would it be worth trying to get together some definite equipment lists for stuff folks would bring?.. Here's why i ask? I should have my UE-11's by then, and i'd sure like to try a bunch of portable amps out...

good question... mine have been hooked up for so long...i don't recall..and i'm on the road. but will be back home tomorrow night.. if someone else hasn't already told you by then. My SRD 6 has the mapping on a little diagram on the bottom or back (i forget). If you are impatient, you could...

okay... i would have assumed you knew that.. but what you wrote implied you didn't know what the wire was for... and therefore you wouldn't have ooked it to your amp...and therefore you wouldn't have any signal to your sr7... sorry for missunderstanding :-) happy listening... btw ... i have...
