I tried it with the OK1 which like the PK1 is harder to drive and I had no problems driving the OK1 to very painful levels.

got t3 and it lasted a little more than 38 hours on first charge, nice! but as for now, I don't feel it is driving pk1 well, better with re0

One thing I noticed on a very positive note for the T3 and T3D is that the jacks are very positive locking now, very firm and the engraving is very fine laser vs silk screening, which wore off some in the past.

Interesting because the D4 jacks aren't particularly firm.

The D4 uses a different type of jack but it feels like most amps but the T3 series now uses one that snaps into place and holds the plug extremely well.

Mini 1/8' Jacks

Something I noticed and in one ear, out the other (literally/figuratively)

I wonder if they will soften after time, they do lock nice and firm...

Hi estreeter. It's been a while. I was busy moving countries.
Could you kindly detail how you would describe the comparsion?
Thanks

For those interested, I posted my review of the D4 here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/6238128-post2500.html

The T3 is up next. The D4 is a fine, fine portable amp! Very impressed.

You just confirmed what I've been listening too for the past month.

Great review. Thanks!

The T3 is a very good little amp, and I definitely consider it a 'must' with my iPod. Depending on your willingness to experiment with the various gain settings, you can make the sound from the iPod warmer and give it most bass punch : personally, I dont get too hung-up over the accompanying loss of detail, but some might. For me, the iPod Classic is a DAP crying out for a better digital map - the T3 is perfect in that role.

Good luck.

Great to hear that it has more bass than the J. Seaber CMoy bass boost or the PenguinAmp Caffeine!! =)
This is definately on my Christmas list!
Now once I get a job, I'll click buy!

 

[nickyboyo]

I haven't read anywhere that the T3 has better or more bass than the penguin caffeine, where did you read this?

 

[dongringo]

I finally cracked and ordered the T3. Been wanting a 'portable' portable for awhile now. Carrying around the D4 was a bit much. Looking forward to it.

Hehe Dongringo, I'm about to do the opposit, so to speak

I'm really pleased withmy T3, but it's so damn small! Want the D4 for the DAC and the praised amp but also for the larger size, I can't even see the volume nr on the T3 when on the go
