Ipod Nano3 8GB+ ALO SXC 18G dock cable +Mustang....
I'm really stonished with this little amp.
What's great amp.
I have a top sound (medium position) with GS1000.
I owned it since 2 months ago (nearly 500 hours), and each time i listen it, it's a new pleasure.

I'm still in the burn in process, how do you compare the Mustang to Hornet?

I can't say that Mustang is better or not compare to Hornet.
For me they sound different and i love the 2.
Just can say that Mustang is just more "Neutral".
I prefer use Mustang with Westone 3 and when i use regular Ipods (essentialy my nano 3G)
When i listen Imod and Pvcaps, i prefer the warm sound of my Hornet (non M).

The one that I ordered is low profile. I can let you know how it fits once it arrives - hopefully early next week.

Yes, I also got lots of pictures from qusp, and went ahead and ordered one of his LOD cables. But, I regret I did. You can read about my experience on the feedback I've left here, page 2: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f12/qu...57/index2.html

However, in all fairness, mine is the only serious negative feedback post he's got so far out of 15.

You can get a very decent LOD cable on eBay from seller awwan for $33.95 or from seller bassel-e for $43.60, both including shipping - and both are well built, nice looking and good sounding. I've had both and sold one. The cable from awwan cable is more flexible and 2 inches smaller. Both are reputable eBay sellers with lots of items sold (800+ & 2000+ respectively) and 100% feedback.

The cable I ordered from qusp cost $78, was faulty, and when it did work sounded just as good as the eBay ones I mentioned above.

My suggestion to you or anyone is to be very careful who you purchase from and also very careful about purchasing expensive gear, where in some instances something cheaper (not cheap) will be just as good, without all the hype of more expensive stuff that generally comes with fancy jargon, which often happens to be an effective marketing tool.

That being said, I've had the Mustang for over a month now, and I'm very happy with that purchase and excellent service from Ray. Also very happy with my Westone 3, where after having a problem with a faulty cable, Westone have gone out of their way to send me a brand new unit, which should be here in a couple of days - fantastic sounding IEMs, IMO

Well I've had the Mustang for about two months now (300+ Hrs.). Recently aquired AD900 from a fellow Head-Fier in mint condition 10/10 w/300 Hrs. on them as well. First impression, was very good as they seemed to have a very good chemistry, synergy is definitely there. I was worried that they wouldn't have enough detail, as I'm a bit of a percussion-lover, but this is not the case. In fact, highs were very clear and airy, just beautifully rendered. Mids were very lush, perhaps just a touch warm yet still very neutral in it's overall presentation. Bass, at least through the Mustang is very well-balanced, tight and punchy, fast and accurate. Simply just a joy to listen to, as the Music flows out of it so effortlessly, so naturallly, pure liquidity. I mainly listen to Jazz, though I did listen to Eric Clapton 461 Ocean Boulevard, some Sade/Norah Jones/Jack Johnson/Bob Marley/Rush/Primus, just to test it's versatility w/other genres, and it did very well. I must admit they are quite revealing, and You will definitely know when a recording is bad, well not really bad, but just not as good as you thought it was. And I'm not talking about bad rips, low-bitrate mp3s & m4as. I only use ALAC files and can easily hear the differences. But then again, that suits Me just fine, as I prefer to hear it as the artist intended. Highly Recommended. Good Luck.
Aloha

I am enjoying Mustang/AD900 combo, and working on MD2000. Aloha Headphile808

Huge statement indeed. I did not find the Lisa sterile, just that its midrange and tonality didn't do it for me.

I am new to headphones, my listening in the past are mainly with speakers. If I am reading these recent posts correctly, the Mustang sound decent enough and can drive some load as well. Help me understand this: what then do I gain from going to a good full sized headamp ? I am thinking of the Rudistor RPX-33...

Thanks for the info, how does Diana Krall sound on Mustang with AD900? I use HD600 and to me it seems like smaller soundstage when I compare to Mustang to Blackbird. I do agree the mid is definitely a stronger on Mustang.

I think the mids of the Mustang is definitely a strongsuit, as all vocals have such naturalness to them, such realism. Soundstage on the AD900 is huge, wide-open w/pinpoint-accuracy, excellent spatial-imaging w/good sense of height and depth as well. Truly gives you an out-of-head experience. I've been throwing a lot different types of music at the 900s: Miles Davis/John Coltrane/Pink Floyd/Steely Dan/System Of A Down/Beck/Radiohead, and it's passing everything w/flying colors. Haven't tried playing a FPS with these yet, just Music so far, but I can already tell that the soundstage is going to make for some accurate fragging. Good Luck.

I find that D. Krall on the phones I have is very fine on the P-51. There is a real jump factor to the music.

For some reason, I kinda prefer SR-71A when I listening to Diana Krall over P51.

 

[jamato8]

It is great to have choices. :^)

 

[qusp]

so hows it fit on the mustang jesse?? any pics yet? i'm keen to see how it went because the mustang is such a small unit with bugger-all room.

and hey music_4321 he's already seen my feedback thread I think. I recommend it; I post a link in every PM and its on the bottom of my sig.

Hi All,

Can anyone who is using the Mustang P-51 with some W3 IEMs tell me what gain setting on the Mustang they've found to be best?

Thanks!

KR

 

[Lil' Knight]

The low gain is far more enough for the W3.
