Is that a QUSP cable?
 
I just got my Pico Slim yesterday.   So far I'm LOVING IT.  (I was using a minibox E+ from when ER4S was my primary IEM)
 
My rig is now Ipod Classic - Clas - Pico Slim - 1964-Q    Still waiting on some cabling from QUSP to complete it.   Then my wallet will get a break for a while....hopefully....

The lod is almost certainly by qusp, I don't know anybody else who epoxy molds the connector like that

a few months ago, someone posted a WTB ad for Pico Slim #420: http://www.head-fi.org/t/591188/pico-slim-serial-number-420
 
it didnt exist, either because the laser engraver skipped the # or it was on a damaged enclosure.  Now that I have my own laser engraver, I went back and filled in the missing #420.  Concidentally, it was just a few hours before 4/20.  
 
So here's a video of its birth:

Lol, 420 huh? So is that user actually gonna get that one? Does this also mean we can have custom engravings on our Slims? or other present/future products?

Now that is cool :D.

 
Yes, I think i wants a laser engraver. So bad now.
 
 
So my real response to this thread was to ask everyone what I should know as I expect to receive a Pico Slim in the mail soon, making a trade for a lower S/N Pico Slim for some headphones and cash. Was in the market for an amp and was looking at this one, the Arrow, or the TTVJ Slim. What should I know about maintenance and other things. My main concerns are will 3M command Strips or the other forms of attaching an amp to an iPod classic mess up the casing or the engravings? Does the Slim actually benefit for the different quality cables used in LODs? I use FiiO LOD's and am considering a Chris_Himself LOD soon. 
 
From reading over the last 20 pages of this thread, I think i've got something nice in the mail for me, as I am also awaiting my Custom IEM's from Aurisonics to pair with this.

you should just attach the 3M strips to the leather case that comes with the Pico Slim

Thanks for the help. Is that really the best way? I'm not one to really sell things, as much as i don't want to remove the Serial Number or anything. Just looking for a small portable setup, nothing ridiculously large. So it's not advisable to use the 3M strips with back of iPod to Pico Slim?

That's probably the best way if you want to keep the serial number intact. The number is printed on the amp, so if you just put the tape on the leather case, you don't need to worry about the number being removed.
