I think it's "Gyros" Nice seeing you there Crimson (i was the asian guy with the blue polo) Great meet, it was my first time. Wasn't feeling too well though unfortunately. Excellent set ups all around.

It's been reported that Apple's dock has a variable line out (not a "true" line out). I suggest getting a Turbodock II (PM him, his name on head-fi is "TURBO"). The Sik Din or Pocketdock can work too.

Though I no longer own any Shure IEMs. Their customer service for repair/replacement is top notch! Like said before on head-fi, they don't care how bad, they'll replace it. I had E2c's with the housing totally demolished (an accident on my part) and they replaced it.

I'm sure you got the real deal.

no noise here with my go-vibe (2227 op-amp). Norm set my amp with a gain setting of 2.5 so there is a low noise floor with my headphones (so no hiss is great too for me low impedance 'phones). Even hooked up to my PSU (12V linear regulated), there is no noise.

Unfortunately, I can't give you a solution to your problem. . . but Welcome to head-fi and sorry about your wallet

my Go-Vibe V4 arrived yesterday (#50 of #50, yes I got the last Go-Vibe!). My power supply arrived today and im awaiting some Grado SR-60s (i decided to start up my rig with an entry Grado model), Turbodock II and interconnect on Friday. I can't wait!

Not sure if it's my fav but "The Living Daylights" song get stuck in my head once in awhile (they played that Bond movie too many times on Spike TV).

Try contacting Todd to see what he can do. I emailed him about shipping for the Grado SR-60's (site says the box weighs 5 pounds). Still awaiting email.

mathesar, you will need to get a 2.1 x 5.5mm Jack - 1.3 x 3.5mm Plug in order for it to connect with the go-vibe. If you have ordered this did you do it straight from newark? I was unable to find it there. However Norm did reccommend another power supply from rpelectronics.com. Part #...

I am hoping my amp, turbodock and 'phones on order will be coming in on time for the meet! My rig isn't even in my posession as we speak. I sold or broke my older stuff so I am basically starting off fresh! Crazy thing is this meet is making me want to order some new stuff just to bring...

I'm too lazy to run but if I do . . . I would'nt use IEMs. You want to hear the audible surroundings around you. Like mentioned above, the Koss KSC-75 or KSC-35s (if you can get them) are great IMO. Plus, they are great value for the money.

Weeman, maybe it's now time to get those custom UM56 earmolds for your UM1s

Forgot to add: Norm says that you must use the Newark 12v power supply. He also stated you must get a 1.2 - 2.3 adapter plug to fit the go-vibe. I assume I can get this at ratshack?

Good question as I just ordered a Go-Vibe and want to purchase a power supply. Somebody please explain

Send the PA2V2 back to Gary if you are willing to let go of it for a few weeks. He is a nice guy and will repair it (I am thinking either he would do it free or a small fee if the parts are damaged). I wouldn't put my MS1's in there if it's still broken and cleaning it didn't help.

great set of 'phones! Mines had issues with bass on one of the driver (there were wrinkles and hair particles inside). I tried to fix it but to keep it short, things sorta went bad. I just sent it in to Koss yesterday and wrote a letter sternly asking for a new pair of 35's AND NOT the 75s...
