I tried it with my ES3X at CanJam and really liked the combination.

HeadphoneAddict, how much improvement did Pico Slim give to your ES3X? Thank you.

I tried my ES3X with the prototype Pico at CanJam. The biggest improvement hands down, is the channel balance and ability to have a much larger range of volume control. Also, hiss was pretty much non-existent at all but the maxed out gain range.

The channel balance was a little better at quiet volumes and it was was warmer sounding than with the std Pico and a little smoother and less aggressive than my P-51 when compared side by side at CanJam. Otherwise it was very similar to my P-51 which I take everywhere.

I love the P-51 which is technically very good, so this is not a knock on that amp; but the Pico Slim with my highly resolving/detailed ES3X was a little more enjoyable, in a similar fashion as it is with my ALO Amphora vs P-51.

I finally got a chance to try pico last week and I find that it really like it.
really look forward to hear from Justin for this pico slim.

Hey guys, I haven't read through all 40 pages of this so pls forgive me if I'm asking an already-asked question, is there an updated ETA on these? "Late summer" is all I've read and it's mid-October

Justin will update the first post in the thread with any official news. And I'm sure there will be a new thread if there is to be an pre-order.

Has anyone had the opportunity to try a Pico Slim coupled to SE530s? If so, impressions please.

Further, has anyone had the opportunity to compare the Pico Slim with the Shadow? If so, PLEASE share.

JiPod did you read post 567 & 568, sure they didn’t test with the se530s, but did test with sensitive iem’s.

Thanks.

Anyone who attended CanJam have the opportunity to sample both the Pico Slim and Shadow? Curious regarding "differences".

Seriously JiPod, did you not even bother to read the last couple pages of this thread?

There was not a single other portable amp at CanJam that was as quiet, as adjustable with both channels producing the same volume, from the first moment your hear sound all the way up to what was tolerable in terms of listening volume.

In addition to what I have previously said, I believe the slim will be significantly smaller than the Shadow.

The size of the Slim has been made final, and based on the information I have, here is a picture that compares the size of the Slim with 2 other things
