He is making something like that for me too. I just need to decide on an amp and will probably go with the mustang. Happy Holidays to you too.

LilKnight,

Recable the esw10 with some 26awg stranded SPC in Teflon. I did mine in 6 strands of 30 awg stranded spc in black which is a big improvement IMO with the esw9 most noted in the treble which used to seam recessed. Much more weight to notes and cleaner. When combined with the mod I outlined it is in a different class and much closer to neutral, but distinctly a fun phone. Offer still stands for free materials

I tried to remove the earpads but they're quite hard. I really daren't use force lol. Still thinking which wire to use.

OK, the Mustang sounds like a great amp. Yesterday, as a test to test portable source options, I connected my W3s to a friend's new IPhone loaded with admittedly mostly not-well-recorded and/or low-bit-rate music, and, quite frankly, it sounded like poop, especially when a lot of instruments play at the same time. I bought my son an IPod Touch for Xmas that I will do more controlled testing on, including lossless rips. Anyhow, using the same IEMs out of my custom-built with great DAC CD player at home sounds very involving and accurate (for IEMs). Will an external amp such as this, along with a quality LOD, such as Lil'Knights, REALLY improve the quality of an IPod Touch's (which I am considering buying) sound, sufficiently to be considered HiFi or is it only just marginally better? I.E., if I don't like the reproduction out of the HP out, am I likely to not be satisfied P-51-amped as well? Is the problem the DAC or the analog amp/volume control? Sorry if elsewhere this subject has been beaten to death...

I'm using the P51 (at 230th hour burn-in) with the KSC35 recabled with UE cable, fed by the DacMagic. The sound is surprisingly good, deepest bass in the the portable stuffs I've ever heard. I'm glad that I sold the MS1 and keep the KSC35

Can't wait to receive my PK1 and try with the P51. Not really satisfied with the OK3, but I think the PK1 would be far better.

Hi,

For those who are concerned about protecting your Mustang and are not willing to put on the Bumpons, etc, I've just ordered some DIY custom skins from BestSkinsever to apply them onto the Mustang.

Have you noticed any changes past the 100th hour?

Not really much. Biggest change is in the treble. Less harsh than from out-of-the-box. Very pleasant to listen now.

 

[cn11]

That's the biggest thing I'm hearing now too... lessening of the treble harshness. Granted I only have about 30-40 hours on it so far, but going from the Sony alone, to the Sony/Mustang, I hear a softening of any harshness in the mids & treble. But bass is deeper and more impactful as well. The little Sony holds up quite well on its own. We're talking pretty subtle differences to this point.

Maybe my burn-in will stop after 10th charge

On the 4th one...

I'm still on my first.....

 

[Lil' Knight]

No need to rush

What kind of load do you use when burn-in?
I use my HD650 all the time.

Is the blush classroom better than the winter?

 

[lycos12]

When I see the photo of P-51 next to AKG701, i'm wondering if it's good/strong enough to drive it or any other can with high impedance.

Has anyone tried to use it for HD650/AKG701/Denon D2000/PK1?
