Glad you're happy. I love both my amps, but now you've made me curious, and I'm going to have to test them both on my ER4Ps anyway!

I have both amps and the ER4P, but have not tried the amps with the ER4P yet. I will have a listen hopefully tonight and report back. I must warn you, though...I'm no expert. Will you be using the DAC?

I tend to use my Pico and Predator when listening at work, so the DAC is invaluable...ever tried listening though an integrated sound card? On the road, however...no. Just the AMP section, if at all.

Hi, I'm nothing like an expert, and I certainly can't address the question of tubes, but in the world of SS portable amps, I can highly recommend both the RSA Predator and the Pico. I use them both with the Shure SE530 and love them both - especially for the DAC section when listening on a...

Quote: I wrote a review on the Pro 750 using a Pico as source/amp... Aha! I already read that. It was one of the posts that first brought the Ultrasones to my attention - didn't notice you were using a Pico. Splendid reading. Well, I am pleased to announce that I have ordered...

Never mind - just ordered a pair from e-bay. =) The clock is ticking...

Anyone know where I can get a good deal on a pair of 750s these days? Preferably in UK/Europe or willing to ship to Europe.

Okay, am I going mad? www.provantage.com, right? Search for Denon returns 0 results. Have they pulled them? Am I looking at the wrong site?

Quote: Which one of your amps to you enjoy more, Predator or Pico? Don't know yet. Predator just arrived at home today (gonna be a long afternoon, lol) and Pico is still on preorder. Quote: HeadAmp uses HD650 and K701 during amp design Interesting... Anyone used the...

Okay...just a quick one today... What full size headphones are people using with Predator or Pico amps? Any to avoid? I'm looking at things like: Grado SR325i Sennheiser HD650 Beyerdynamic DT880 Ultrasone Pro 750 Mainly interested in the synergy with these particular amps. As...

One of the reasons I have gone with the Predator is BECAUSE of the burn-in time! Having read many accounts of this journey, I am really looking forward to what seems like an enjoyable (and probably educational to a non-audiophile like me) experience. My Predator should be winging its way...

Quote: Justin sent me an email earlier today confirming that I was added to the pre-order list the same day I posted here. Same here...so for those familiar with the advice given in "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy"...DON'T PANIC! Mine was 1st May. I'm guessing he's working...

oicdn - those LODs sure look great...unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), I am not using an iPod. Just looking for a straight 3.5 to 3.5. Thanks anyway...I may well end up looking for a LOD before too long, so I'll keep this in mind.

Hi All, While I wait for my shiny new Predator portable amp to appear, I guess I should get me an interconnect. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really looking for the best I can get under the $160/£80 mark for a cable just long enough to connect a DAP to the amp when stacked. If...

Lol! Thank you for the advice and your excellent review. I think the Predator may be better suited to my needs - especially considering the lead time on the Pico. I am not sure I will still be able to afford it by the time my name comes up.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I was kind of hoping you'd say that! 34 on the D2, eh? Have to remember that.

That is an interesting observation. By 'sibilance', are you referring to the harsh sound one sometimes hears when pronouncing the letter 'S'? This is something I tend to notice a lot even now, and it can bug me once I start to notice it. I'll be sure to check out that post - thank you.

Title says it all, really. At the moment, I'm torn between the Pico and Predator (obviously). I'm not looking to start another religious war, but I would be very interested to hear anyone's thoughts on which amp works with the SE530s and why. I'm not looking for "XXX sucks and YYY is teh...

Quote: I call gimmick infringement on your name! Hehe...I thought the same thing when I saw yours! Quote: Is the Pico on order the Amp standalone version or the DAC/Amp combination? It's the combo.

Hi all, Just looking for some advice. I have recenty gotten a pair of Shure SE530s, which I am using with my Cowon D2. I have a Pico amp on pre-order. My question is this: is it worth sending my old iPod 4g off to become an iMod, replacing the D2, or with my current setup will it not be...

Quote: Using the DAC sounds better than any portable player that I've ever used extensively... Okay, I'm sold!! (As if there was ever any doubt) Justin - please upgrade me to a DAC, with a 3ft cable. If it's available, I would like green, otherwise, bronze, if you would be so kind...

Quote: To my ears the DAC is awesome for the money. Nooo! I wanted to hear 'It's rubbish, save your money'!! Okay, thanks for the input - one more silly question...I think I know the answer, but someone please confirm. Using the DAC will totally get rid of the nasty...

Wow...lots of really good feedback! I've been keeping an eye on this thread for a while, and I don't recall seeing many (if any) reports on the DAC SQ. Could someone who has the DAC version please post your thoughts? I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my order to the DAC, but having...

Quote: Out of curiosity, which do people prefer, the new Shure black foams, or the Comply foam tips? I would also be interested to know this. Still experimenting with the ones in the box.

Well, I just ordered mine yesteday after I realised that my ER4Ps were giving me headaches with prolonged use. And I wanted some more BBAAASSS!! Hopefully, I'll be posting back as a dedicated fan in a few days. Oh, yeah - and I've preorded a Pico amp, too...thanks to Skylab's excellent...
