Looking forward to the review and the appreciation thread

Good to hear all that boomana.

Burning a TWag Micro LOD>NuForce amp>Rockboxed 1G Nano>TWag cable>JH 13,looking forward to a decent volume pot.

This combo is certainly small and sounds good as is.

Just enough spread on the LOD cable to slip the Twag jack through.

I listen to Sirius Satellite on the iPod Touch and it's going to be nice to have a clean amp to control the signal.

I also ordered the Twag Micro LOD after checking it out with the slim last time I had it. It's perfect size for the slim.

One reason I'd kinda "gone off" portable amps is because I really don't want to lug one around in my purse. My JH13s sounded good enough with just an ipod and/ my iphone for on-the-go, though I completely acknowledge that they sound better with an amp. I can stealth rig with my old nano/twag/ slim/jh13s no problem or even with my ipod classic.

I kinda wish I'd have ordered one, although I could order from direct from Whiplash

The trouble I could see was using the micro for other amps with inputs on the front - the angled jack looks like it could block the output?

I'm curious what a $110 LOD sounds like. I'll just be using a regular LOD with a female 3.5mm jack from ebay connected to a cardas cable.

That's great to hear. That was the main reason why I wanted the slim.

I didn't really notice any difference from my other lods, but then I really didn't do a comparison. I bought it strictly for its size.

Can we just drop it or does this have to be irreconcilable?

lol, I see it continues. me disrespectful

just wow!.

I brought it up because you quoted me and then went on to say something that I totally disagreed with. what has paying first got to do with it? this is a pre-order thread. I posted my pre-order on the first day it was started.....months ago.

happy to move on and drop it, but please dont be such a drama queen and turn things into more than they are. looking forward to happy days in the appreciation thread

This is the whole reason for me wanting one in the first place so now I'm extra happy
