Please don't follow my very bad habit

 
Yours is not a bad habit at all. You are safe and you can always sell whatever you don't need or adjust inventory according to her mood. :)
 
There are hobbies which could cost more money with no tangible return and could potentially break her heart. Ask her which hobby she will pick up for you. LOL.

I just received my Iphone 5s yesterday night , until now Iphone 4 S is the best from all iPhone series I have .

Out the box Iphone 5 S sound quality is very good .

I haven't done briefly comparison between these two

As apple fan boy I bought every time Iphone came out the new model Except iPhone 5 , because IPhone 5 sound Quality was below my 4 G and 4 S.

Here is the answer for the volume between Iphone 4 S and 5 S:

Like you see in my picture , I use the same music file

At the Same volume level these two phone have almost the same loud with the same hp out

iPhone 4 s only slightly Lauder not that much

This is the reason I bought iPhone 5 s , because of the sq and volume

Note : I haven't tested the speaker out , how loud can produce the iPhone 5s , because I need to buy screen protector first
And I just play last than 5 hours , about the SQ comparison I will do later after burn in

IMO


 
Nice Album there! Though I feel her voice is way too sweet for me.

The positive from audio hobby :

We stay more at home , no more mood go out like to Karaoke
For me waste time and spend a lot of money
It is better the money for audio :D

The negative from audio hobby :

Spend a Lot money for audio gears

My wife complain if I heard music can not talk so nicely , she must repeat and talk loudly to speak with me
This is very bad situation
From that on the best time to hear after my wife sleep :D

I am not ready yet to sell the stack. :)

My main purpose of having so many ipods is to host my fast growing music library. I enjoy dragging and dropping the FLAC's to these ipods and then listen to the music right away (thanks to the Rockbox).

Actually only 2 of the stack are IPC 160gb's, and the rest are ipod video's. The ipod video's have been modded with all kinds of internal caps. I use them exclusively for comparisons to find the winner of the winners. There are RWA iMods and all kinds of diymods out there, but they are not equal. The RWA iMod does not touch the LOD pins and it is all wired on board (not trying to bash RWA iMod but arguably not a clean bypassing to me). Mine were wired from DAC's directly to the LOD pins (pins lifted off boards). These days there are tons of caps available and they do make great difference in sound. The caps are not just there to block DC output from DAC. In fact from my experience the concerns on the DC offsets are often overblown.

If you have not tried a LOD made of pure silver with cotton jacketing, then you should try one. It blew my mind and convinced me that pure silver doesn't necessarily mean sounding bright. With the cotton dielectric, it sounds more airy with smooth and elastic treble. Silver is well known to present extended bass, better 3D imaging and clarity (details and separations).


Thank you
I have silver lod as well
You are lucky can solder and diy
My friend help me to do diy for me
