No, not really, but they do a good job as monitors.

Say there! those thunderpants look familiar!

  Glad you are enjoying them and keeping them in pristine condition.   that looks like a voice recorder with a big ol muff on the mics - no? (Edit - oh you beat me to it)

I finally finished with my latest portable configuration.  My Pico developed issues and I have yet to send it to Headamp for a fix.  I tried the Pico Slim and though it sounded terrific with my earphones, it just didn't have enough power to drive my headphones.  So enter the Headstage Arrow.  Still breaking in but I am really liking what I am hearing!
 
I jettisoned the hard drive in my iMod for a 64gb CF.  Created a custom minimalistic theme for the Rockbox firmware.  Skinned the front of the iMod with Zagg's Invisible Shield and used the piece that goes on the back on the Arrow.  I then mounted the amp to the iMod using 3M's wall mount adhesive that is designed to come off without marring the surface.  I had used it when I tried the Pico Slim and discovered two things: 1) you don't need much to hold an amp securely, and 2) it pulled off without a scratch or hint of residue left behind.
 
The little Arrow drives everything quite nicely including my DT990/600 and K701!  Kewl!

Kewl indeed.
 
My biggest gripe about the iPod is that the headphone out is much too noisy for IEM use. Do your set up improve on this?

 

[warrior05]

Paired with a good amp, the line out is clean and dead silent no matter how sensitive your IEMs.  Ipod ho are notoriously bleh - at least up to the 5th gens which is my experience.  Now the iPod Touch 2 and 3 gen amps (don't know about the latest gen) are pretty decent.  Very low noise floor and sound fine imo.

A lot of people I've encountered enjoy the guitars most in metal.  I prefer the double kicks along with the rest of the drum section.  This rig really takes my breath away at times.

 can someone please tell me who makes this min to min cable i cant make out the name?
 
thanks

 

[violinvirtuoso]

The name on the cable is Pailliccs. That isn't the name of the brand that manufactures the cables, it is the name of the brand the manufactures the plug itself.

The cable itself is an "iBasso CB04". See here:
