I'm trying my 300h P51 with the Edition 9. Sounds damn good!

OK, I couldn't take the wanting any longer; thanks to SierraHotel01's praise egging me on. Placed order for 'Stang black w/ red ends and gold (brass?) knob, and also placed order to ALO for cryo 18G SXC. Hopefully with this combo there will be no necessary upgrades for awhile. I am still interested in LilKnights LOD, it looks so cool and also probably sounds great. Mebbe later.

Anyway, the ordered combo should be sweet with W3s and Touch.

I'm sure our ears do adjust as things go along, but there is no question here that things are changing quite a bit (I'm surprised it's as extreme as it is). That's a good thing, because quite honestly, when I first received it, it sounded awful. It was a clear step backwards from without it. It's been running since I got it yesterday, and the sound has tightened up quite a bit, although the frequency balance could use some smoothing out (it's a bit "lumpy"). I've also noticed while I was listening yesterday and last night, that certain frequencies would either be over accentuated or swallowed up for a while (causing the "lumpiness"). This was easily verified by swapping my headphones from the P-51 to the hp jack on my Firewire 410. I just checked right now, and the high frequencies are a bit muted compared to the source (big difference in ride cymbal overtones). There were times last night when it was the exact opposite and I was hearing overtones I didn't even know were there...

Anyway, it's kind of cool to hear the changes and I look forward to the final result!. It's an impressive little matchbox!

I have a unit with the black body and gold/brass volume control and it is pure class. I love the dark red Ray has gone to. Against the black it is pure cool.

Are others having an issue with ALO fit? I'm getting the SXC 18G. Should I be concerned? I mean being close on something so tiny is fine, but rubbing would not be good.

As I said before, any LOD using Switchcraft will have little trouble with the Mustang. It's so tiny that the plug will become huge.

Thanks, LilKnight. I missed that detail. I assume from reading your earlier post and rereading this one that it WILL have a little trouble with the knob as opposed to having little (as in no) trouble.

It will work fine though, just a little difficult to adjust the volume

Agreed, the LOD you made me fits but barely. I don't think it is an issue causing the Switchcraft to not be usable with the Mustang in anyway.

Using ALO SXC 18g and Apuresound Ety4 mod with Switchcraft plug. No problems with Mustang but somewhat of a problemwith Reference since volume knob is in the middle of the two connectors. Still, everything fits and works perfectly

Thanks, then I will probably stick with it.

I use Switchcraft and my own devised mini and they all fit fine. I don't have any real problem with adjusting the volume. It isn't as if the connector rubs the volume control as it is 2mm or so away.

I am not sure why ALO saves the gold plated Switchcraft for the 18g like it is a more expensive mini. The cost difference is about one dollar and I would prefer to never have nickel in the audio path and nickel is used in the dollar cheaper mini of Switchcraft. I use the gold and copper mini, when I use Switchcraft, there is no reason not to.

Different IC's I have made for portable use. Switchcraft minis and my own converted minis with hyper pure dead soft silver and teflon tubingI don't know who took this image but they could have used more depth of field! oh it was me. :^)
