worth getting one of these to use with ipod touch 4g and shure se535?. my thinking is that I want to utilise the line out's better signal/sq, and that the arrow is the slimmest amp available so won't mind keeping it constantly attached to the ipod. Used to use a classic plus t3 and hated the way it stretched my jeans, and made them fall down from the weight. plus the arrow future proof if I decide to get some full size cans. Thoughts?
 
edit: btw, from pics, I'm thinking it's about the same thickness as the touch, but pics can be decieving and the t3 was alot smaller irl than in pics. Some impressions would be nice. I know size seems a weird concern, but I won't use it if it's too chunky and will end up selling at a loss, like I did with the d10 i had (though i did enjoy using the dac on my laptop, but didn't use it enbough to warrant keeping it.

It's Kate Moss after being on "Survivor" for a month and then catching the flu.
 
I don't have any experience with a "true" LO, but it made my SE530s come alive. Just skim this thread. You'll find many comparable (and favorable) impressions.

thanks for the reply. will do!
 
just hoping that I can find a seller before I get paid in a couple of weeks (just throwing that out there =)). Don't like the sound of having to wait a month (or more) for a new arrow; though I will if I have to.

This is a picture I found on the net (posted earlier in this thread) of the Arrow w.Touch. I think the Arrow is a bit thinner than the Touch.  A perfect match regardless

 

[AndyT87]

=) thanks mate. that really is a perfect match! DO WANT.

 

[zappp]

Actually you can't see the Arrow, but is underneath and a tad thinner than the 3.5mm plug from the LOD.
 
IEM are RE0 with custom tips

hi...
help here please...
is the ue700 good with the arrow amp?
people, what do you think?

 

[129207]

Does anyone have any experience with the Touch 3g/4g in combination with the Arrow? I've used the Arrow with my Sony X1050's line out before I sold the Sony and now I am looking for the same SQ.

The Arrow is a neutral amp with a great deal of adjustability. Reading even a small portion of this thread would tell you that it is a good match for any head/earphone. A good amplifier doesn't change the sound of the source and associated components. I find the Arrow allows the sound of the music (most important) and the rest of the components ie. the source & headphones to come through clearly and with as little coloration as I've heard with any portable amp. If you want to tailor the sound for a particular source or headphone (add bass boost etc.) it offers the option.
 
If you take the time to read some of this thread I think you will find many people have said the same thing.

I really want one of these.  I am fresh from the Pico Slim preorder debacle.  I spent December to June or July on the list, spent another 3 weeks chasing a refund, and my number didn't ship until late August or early September.  I don't want to go through that again.
 
So... How is the quoted delivery vs. actual delivery?  Currently, the website states that current orders will ship in November.  I can deal with November 30th.  I dont want to deal with November December January February.
 
Any comments?

is it really worth investing an amp?
specially the arrow...
from my understanding...arrow is one of the best amp out there.
not only the form, function, sound but also the price...
 
what does it really do aside from amping?
amping = giving more volume, power to drive a head gear right?
aside from that...
is there anything else?
 
does it change the color of your sound?
does it clean the sound?
 
 
...sorry people.
i am stupid i know.
but hoping you kind people will enlighten me more.
 
i never own an amp in my life.
even my speakers has an amp that i cant see since it is inside the speaker...audioengine a5.
 
 
 
note...
stupid of me.
thanks to hellenback for your patience and for answering some of my querries....
you are very kind.
happy listening!

In most cases people are happy w/o an amp.  Unless you are using an IEM that NEEDS an amp you will most likely get 85%-95% of your phones ability w/o an amp.  In many cases phones do not get enough power from the source so they are not showing you their potential.  The job of an amp is to get that last 5-15%.  It should not color sound though they can, especially if you do it yourself.  The Arrow and others can offer things like bass boost, gain, impedance, DACs and crossfeed to increase versatility if they choose.  But that has nothing to do w/ what an amp is 'supposed' to do.  Which is give the phone enough good clean power to do its job correctly.

well, thank you very much to you ANAXILUS.
 
i am just wondering why people go ga-ga on amps...
the reason is with it...it makes their head gears sing.
good.
 
i am just wondering...do i need one?
how will i know?
is it really essential to own one?
