Ken has done it again with this amazing piece of art and function!

Introducing the V-DOCK for the RED WINE AUDIO iMOD!

Test results to follow!!!!

First impression of the sound was very positive kind of a OMG!

More to come.............

nice...

 

[granodemostasa]

WOW, nice pictures. I admit to not knowing anything about what this is about, but being very impressed with the visual. Does this thing charge the ipod while It plays? or is it just an overbuilt line-out?Does it come in different colors?

Anyhow, congrats!

I gotta ask...How much cheese did that cost?

 

[Nebby]

My guess is at least $250. But then again I suck at guessing games...

 

[Killercrush]

I think it's $550, ouch !

Holy crap... I think my testes just shriveled up and crawled inside of my torso, and my wallet burst into flames and then imploded! Pass.

This is built for RWA's 5+ gen iMod. I don't know a lot of details but I believe there are some real high-end caps inside. Skylab has one as well and he's pretty floored by what he's hearing.

It's a dock made out of wood so yeah it does came in different finishes/colors/appearances, etc... That said it does use V caps (hence the name) which are some of the highest regarded and highest priced caps out there.

 

[trose49]

Yes they come in different woods!
Yes it will charge the iMod!
Yes $550 is the going rate!

You have to contact Ken at audiolineout@gmail.com to see what woods are/will be available and if he has more in stock. (I know they were going fast)

This is an exclusive for the Red Wine Audio iMod ([size=xx-small]not for regular iPODS[/size]). It hold the V-CAPS hence the name. Link for caps is here: http://v-cap.com/oilcapacitors.html

Skylab also has one and has given it rave reviews and in his opinion sounds better than his ROTEL.

It has a cool push button switch on the back to turn the charge system on and off for optimum sound quality.

So price although initially shocking is not when you hear the results. I am burning my unit in now and will post my own findings after at least 50 hours of burn-in.

Great job Ken & Vinnie

Oh, very nice. I didn't know one needed a modded ipod for that. (i have no interest in getting my ipod modded, sorry)...

Looking at the ALO thread, they are looking at a different housing option to bring down the price. Appearently the wood machining is expensive. This only works with the 5/5.5 imod so add that to the price. Just another trinket for those who have the funds to be entertained. If the comparisons are favorable to $1k cdp and dacs, it might be worth it. I can't see how using the dac ipod uses but we'll see.

 

[shigzeo]

that must be what ken was describing in february to me. he said wait a month or so but i guess he meant longer. somehow, i would not want to have to take an imod and amp around given the size of both, but this for home use looks very sweet indeed and especially considering that hookin up to a home amplifier as well is easier. cheers ken
