thanks , ill check them out.. already started on my next rig will be a fair bit cheaper though .ive got an ipod 5th gen 30gb and ordered new front ,new back , new battery and a tarkan cf/sd hdd adapter, im unsure what reasonable priced amp woud be best for it but im leaning towards sol republic v10 headphones. ,john

perhaps a fiio E12A IEM Edition amp..but imo the Sol Republic doesnt need an amp, the ipod can drive it fine but this is Head-Fi, we buy what we want hehe edit: oops u got the e12a already, that should be good enough for your ipod

Nice, my U2 is a 5th gen 30GB as well. I'm not a big fan of Sol cans but each their own. I'd go with MOE's or maybe even an AKG 240/K99 or 553's myself but like I said if you like the way Sol sounds get what pleases you

Enjoy building out that next rig John

My current rigs (i know, low/mid-fi, but i'll be upgrading quite a bit in the next couple months

 ):
 
 
1)Main rig: Nexus 5 + Shure se215
 
 
 
 
2) beater rig: Samsung YP-Q2 + Dunu dn-12 Trident
 

 
 
The nexus 5 is a really good smartphone, and a decent DAP. But only decent, as at higher volume levels it tends to introduce quite a bit of distortion in the highs. And it also lacks the juice to drive more demanding headphones and even some IEMs: my old sony xba-h1 lacked dinamism when used with the n5, being 40 ohms and just 105 db/mW in sensibility.

The YP-Q2 is a really old mp3/mp4 player, but it was qiute cheap, and had a remarkable battery life of 50 hours. The sound is on the bright side, thus it pairs really well with the trident.
 
Coming soon: Topping nx2 DAC/Amp for the n5; Fiio x3ii as the main rig; Sony mdr-1a.

I was cleaning off my old Logitech's, getting ready to sell them, when I realized I needed to make sure, one last time, they still worked. It had been a few months since I used these. They are old. Lots of use.

So I ran a power cord, connected the speakers, and hooked in my FiiO.

If you guys can call the Hugo portable, I say this also counts.

My pair of modded YHD-1 Orthodynamics. What I did was put Twaron Angel Hair and felt into the housing, attach clear tape to the rear of the driver, and tape on Audio-Technica ATH-EP700 pads. With the stock cloth "pads" stuck on with adhesive to the baffle, I found them too warm with tonality issues in the mids. I have no idea why Yamaha opted for no pads, as these drivers sound far better spaced from the ears a bit. After that, I still found them too warm, so I opened em up and experimented a bit until I found what I think sounds the best. After my mods, bass extends to around 50hz, impressive for an open on ear. Mids are slightly on the colder side of things, but not overly so like the MDR-V6. The treble carries a bit of grain, but detail and extension are excellent regardless.
Soundstage is impressive for what they are, and decay is FAST.

Overall, pretty happy with my portables now.
