At $550? That's unneccesary expensive?

It took me some time to make up my on getting an Imod b/c of cost. Then this.

Thanks! No thanks

Your dock is beautiful, Todd.

It wouldn't work for me. because my modded ipod/amp combo, is purely for my listening pleasure on "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"....and sitting in the park.

Once again, great work Ken.

Something tells me that they are worth more in blood, sweat and tears, than the offering price.

Labor of love, I guess.

Yes, it's expensive, but not unnecessarily expensive.

That sure is purty!

Very nice work, Ken.

a little expensive. Isn't the Imod suppose to be for portable use? I find this dock a little useless because at that price i'd rather buy a DAC.

Sorry, I need something ultra portable for when I go to the gym, and an ipod+amp doesn't fit that description (But I would like a home ipod dock

).

Oooooooh. I wish I hadn't opened this thread. I've been happily using my imod with a Larocco PRII and SR-71, but Thrice has been modding my Canamp for me and what a nice bedroom rig that would make! I want one in ebony....I'm afraid to find out if that's a real option.

Get a white Ipod and you will truly have "Ebony and Ivory"

I'm surprised so many people are just beginning to hear about this expansive project for the recent iMod. Oh well....

Also, the point of thei dock is to have the iMod stationed as a true high-end home source. So you can use it to charge and play on your stereo speakers at home, then when you need to go on that plane ride, pull the iMod out and go!

I already have one of each: 4g white, 5.5g black....must stop now...eeek.


Question: no offense to the OP, but why the heck is this in the headphone forum? I've noticed a lot of unheadphony threads here lately. Shouldn't this be in tweaks or at least portable?

Yes this is correct! iMOD although great sounding as a portable unit can be a great home source which Ken & Vinnie are proving with this high end dock. Obviously it's not for everyone and not for portability (I mean look at it) you wouldnt want to scratch up that nice wood surface lugging it around!

I have mine connected to RSA HR-2 but I am also getting one of Vinnie's Signature 3S source selectors. I am going to use the one source of the V-DOCK and have outputs for headphone amp and home system so that it is just a selector switch away and do not have to keep switching plugs and cables around.

So chances are this is a better bet for speakers than headphones? For those prices I would get a real source, but that wouldn't be portable. But for someone like me who already has a portable source, this just doesn't make sense. That said it looks great, even if the iPod will probably diminish the looks. I wouldn't mind it if I already had an iMod.

Why would you think better for speakers? This kind of detailed sound begs for headphones or speakers which ever you prefer! If it is getting reviews comparable to 1,500+ cdp's then I say....It is a real source!
