He also has a BA. Actually purchased both his units from me. He was a non-believer before and gave me a lot of **** before he experienced the magic for himself though lol .

Good ol' Lee, always making up stories.
He's correct though, I purchased both my Rocco BA and 3RD Anv from Lee.
He also purchased a camera and likes to widdle the time away taking nice pics of his earphones and players. H2O is so hardcore when it comes to this hobby
I don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but once in a while when my Studio V 3rd Anv. is playing some very slight distortion will come over the left ear, regardless of what headphones\iems I am using. I want to point out that this happens when the unit is sitting safely at my work desk, not on the move. This is different than the issue where the track sometimes stutters at the beginning. I really like the sound of this unit, but some of its' idiosyncrasies are really annoying at times and takes me out of the music that I am listening to.
Put your mobile further away I always have this when it's too close to my iphone 5.
Having tried my third with various amps like Voyager, 02, E07 and E17 I think it sounds better without an external amp, an amp changes the sound but does not improve it

Also, may I ask where you got your mini to mini cable? I'm looking for a quality connecter with short length and right angle plugs.
Your opinion on amping is very much the same as Lee's.
If you read back over the pages I only amp my (2nd Edition) to take away the hiss. I too prefer it unamped if the synergy is right. however I disagree on the bolded section as like we've spoken about pages back I do hear advantages and disadvantages to amping. Areas like soundstage are improved and the layering with the amps I've tried. the mids to become recessed though which is kind of another reason I avoid it. I always feel like I'm doing the wrong thing amping my Studio, however if you have heard the hiss that can occur with certain IEM's it will honestly almost drive you up the wall, it becomes so distracting a little like sibilance keeps grabbing you're attention, for that amping can be an absolute life saver!
