Well it isn't a massive difference considering I find the hp out tolerable (the HD25's aren't too hard to drive - but it's still a bit anaemic compared to when I use the E5), but it adds that extra kick in terms of bass impact. I find that it's also slightly warmer sounding, but otherwise it won't make any hidden details in your songs suddenly jump out. The E1/E5 is worth it though since it just adds that extra smoothness.

Is it just me, or is the screen on the Clip+ smaller than the original Clip?

It is, by about ~1mm diameter. The angle of that photo exaggerates it, however. Other than that they're the same, same amount of pixels, same two colors.

How does the A729 compare to the clips?

Would have no idea... I love them all really. All very natural sounding players. The cowon D2 sounded amazing but I could tell it was more processed, though never in a bad way.

Ok so this is probably my first or so post...

Been anaudiophile for some years now but quite new to the whole Head-Fi thing, Anyway, Here's what I'm making do with for now until my new gear turns up.

GTRacer,
How much did the cable upgrade on your Sennheisers improve the sound quality? How would you describe the sonic signature?

 

[Not Sage]

my first post, and my rig, hoping to get a amp soon.

 

[betweentheears]

WELCOME!!!

 

[unl3a5h3d]

Here is mine. Should be getting TF 10's soon, they are on their way.

Ipod 30gb (I have 2) - FiiO E5 - NuForce NE-8's with complys. The red and blue on them is just pieces of electrical tape so I can quickly identify which is left and right.

Smart idea with the electrical tape trick, I think I will do that to mine also.

Overall it has improved the sound signature, but it's quite subtle - the ALO is less muddy and more precise sounding compared to the stock steel cable. Whereas the stock cable gave a sound that was more weighted towards the bass and mids while slightly toning down on the highs, the recable resulted in a more balanced sound.

I got the idea from the Etymotic ER4's.

upgrade the amp if you're going to get yourself a TF10 soon! it'll do the TF10 more justice
