"In Rainbows". One of the greatest albums of all time.
Enjoy your new toys guys. I'll have to wait for the November NYC Fall Meet to get mine, but it sounds like it will be worth it.
I am on a plane 3-4 days a week and this puppy is going to get worn out.

Couldn't agree more about "In Rainbows". I love how dynamic of a recording it is too... it's a great album to evaluate equipment with. It's always one of my references for testing new pieces of gear, as well as just all around a great listen every time.
Hope you enjoy the Shadow once you get it, I know I'm looking forward to traveling with mine to either Thailand or China in a few months.

Shadow arrived today. Beautiful little amp. The thing is tiny. From what I gather, it is "mainly" to be used with iems or very efficient cans.
Red light is still on so it hasn't finished charging.
My logical self tells me to leave it alone tonight. I really can't afford another night with no sleep. I'd be willing to bet each of you can relate to that. Also, I sprung for recommended "Reverie" cable from CablePro. Pricey but in the end, I know it will be worth it. Ted is a seriously nice guy with a great attitude and tons of knowledge. Hope everyone enjoys their new toy!!!
Thanks Ray !!!

Serial #31 here. Just finished my first Shadow-commute from lower Manhattan to the Bronx and all I can say is this little pixie is a powerful monster! Was listening to "Knock Yourself Out" by Tower of Power and I couldn't believe the way this thing was resoving the bottom end! Far more punchy than my tomahawk. I agree with previous poster who said that it seems to take a bit long to get the volume to the right spot but perhaps practice will make it go faster. Probably doesn't help that I like my music loud and visceral!
Way to go Ray and all the Samuels family
You've set the benchmark higher once again.

I have received my "Shadow" today (thanks Ray!). It looks incredibly small compared to the Mustang. Will do some serious listening after burn-in.

I find that once you have become accustomed to the volume control you will arrive at your preferred sound level very fast. Just like anything, there is a learning curve. I wasn't sure I would like the volume back to zero each time the amp was turned off but my ears sure are thankful. With IEM's in and the volume accidently turned up it is painful but with this amp that doesn't happen. Have fun!

A question: While I'm waiting for my ALO line out cable, I wanted to "test" my Shadow. I tried the headphone jack. No sound at all. Then, I have an old IPod dock and I connected a Nano from the line out - mini to mini. Still no sound.
Where am I going wrong?

bergman,
Remember that the volume goes back to zero when you turn on the Shadow so you need to turn the volume up. Also, ensure your iPod volume is up since your going mini-mini out of the iPod into the Shadow.

Problem solved.
My connection wasn't solid enough. Sound at last.
