Can we see a picture of that as I didn't think Ray did a 000 other than his prototype.

Dear Ray, I've just received the Shadow. It's so tiny even compared with Pico.

Taking some photos now. Ill edit once I upload them.

I could be mistaken on the serial # if Ray doesn't do #000.
Mine literally reads "S000"

Since I made a note on my payment saying it would be awesome to get #000, I assumed that I lucked out and that the first character is an "S" for serial no. but I suppose it could be like a "5" ? You be the judge!

I could really care less about the serial - this thing has met my (almost) impossible expectations, so I am very very pleased either way.

PLEASE PARDON MY "GHETTO LOD - I made it as a "test run" before I use good components! Haha

(btw- when I say "ghetto" I mean it! This is made of an ipod headphone mini plug, cat5 cable, and a dock connector from a broken ipod data cable)

Sorry for the poor second photo, but I was using my phone and its no good close up!

^^ Yes, that indeed looks like S000. congrats!

Mine being S222, I think it's safe to assume that S = Shadow

That is too cool. Where else, who else, would take such time. Now off to music time. :^)

Hi,

No. 48 here. The instructions have a strong warning against using any other chargers than the one included. I was just wondering, does someone know if the Shadow can be charged off a laptop's USB?

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

Ray starts the serial numbers with the first letter of the model, like P0028 for my Predator.

Yes - the instructions say this can be done in the first paragraph on the second page - I had to look for it too.

that's what you have to do, from p 31.....

I linked the shadow to my laptop, ray should write on it "high resolution large soundstage and separation amplifier"......still burning in, but....my macbook pro hissing is a thing of the past! Forgot to get a new mini-mini connector though (only thought about the lod!) and my old one is ....well old

 

[edwardsean]

Hi,

The more the Shadow burns in, the more impressed I am-the resolution and soundstage are simply stunning. I'm using them to drive my GS1000i, and so far so good.

I asked previously about charging with a laptop because I have no problems using the supplied charger. However, when I plug into the USB of my Macbook Pro (unibody) I get all kinds of distortion to the sound. I'm wondering has anyone else had this problem with their laptop and Shadow?

 

[h.rav]

^ Perhaps, it can't be charged via a laptop USB port.

IMPORTANT…Don’t use another charger with the Shadow as you might burn the charging circuitry & damage the battery. The warranty won’t cover such a mistake.

I had the same problem - if I charged the Shadow from my PC USB and ran the line from the PC's headphone out I got distortion, however when I fed the Shadow from my iPod (while charging from the PC USB) everything worked fine.

Also I could run the Shadow from the PC headphone out fine if I was not charging from the USB.

Not sure what would cause this.
