I tried the Slim with my JH13Pro and it's very enjoyable, but it maybe gave them a little more midbass than I prefer, while it improved the bass on my ES3X nicely. My ES3X can be a little edgy on some amps like 3MOVE or Protector, and a little better on a more laid back or smoother/refined amp like Pico Slim, or DACport. But Sherwood agreed he thought his JH13Pro picked up a little bass boost with the Slim as well, and thought the RSA Protector filled out the mids and controlled the bass just a little better.

At CanJAm I compared the Slim to P-51 with my iMod and ES3X, and while the P-51 is very nice with the ES3X, I thought the Slim was a slightly better match. Since the P-51 sounds a lot like the newer Shadow I decided to pass on the Shadow and hold out for the Slim. Blutarsky also liked what the Slim did for his ES3X A LOT, and is dying for his to arrive too.

Interestingly, the UE11Pro also got along great with the Slim too, without the boosted bass you often experience with the 11Pro on the wrong amp. So, I was very pleased with the Slim and UE11Pro combination. This was done using my TWag balanced cable and a TWag single ended adapter. I didn't get to try the UE11Pro with the stock cable. I did try the other two IEM with stock cable and TWag, and the thing that improved the most with the TWag was the detail and transparency, without a big change in frequency response.

Question and advice:

So here's the deal - I have a pair of shure 530s, and CMOY for my 4G Ipod. It has been a very nice combination, but have been slowly upgrading. So I have purchased a pico slim and waiting for that puppy to arrive. Now am thinking to take my 4G and have it Imodded ... but in anyone's humble opinion is that overkill or will there be a big difference?

I have been happy with the 530s and the Cmoy. I am sure the pico slim will make a bigger difference.

Thoughts and comments?

How would you say the slim compares with the HDP. I assume you've heard those same phones on both.

I didn't have the Slim long enough to make that comparison, sorry.

If i read Justin's last post (#1039) correctly, he expects the final components to ship to him on the 29th of this month.

 

[hydora]

Wasn't 2weeks period over last week?
I thought I paid Justin on March 6, so 20days ago.

[hydora]

Anyway, the "DAY" will be coming soon.

From my experience waiting for 2 of Justin's previous portable amps(AE-2 & Pico), even after the waiting and anticipation of my next cool toy, I was not let down. With high expectation I was still very impressed after receiving the amp. After careful inspection, I came to the conclusion that these amps were near to perfection. I couldn't find fault with any design aspects.

This is what I expect to experience after receiving my Pico Slim. I have no doubts.

 

[Woody469]

It was my belief and the belief of many others that the two weeks began once Justin requested payment. I believe the 2 week period has come and gone.

I have owned the Pico Dac/Amp, and I've heard an early completion version of the slim at the northern California meet last month. I have to agree with GreatDane. The slim is a great amp.
