If you were truly gansta, you would make a portable rig out of the turntable. Perhaps a Hi-Fi cart? Maybe a baby carriage? OH! I know, one of those remote controlled golf bag carriers!

LOL! That would be quite funny.

I'm not sure who this thread is directed at, but my portable (gym) rig is Sansa Clip -> Klipsch Image X5. I feel no need to ever upgrade.

My work rig is gonna be EEE PC -> Pico -> DT770/250, which is also has good as I would ever want for that application.

hmmm... so i need an audio technica soundburger to use portably with my jecklins to be HIP with the kids nowadays

Try either the Sansa Fuse into a Nuforce Icon Mobile or the iMod into a iBasso Boa feeding either the ESW9 or ESW10JPN. These are my combinations that I work with today. I also have a first gen Nano that I can through into the works. BTW, that little Fuse ear-bud is not bad for what it is.

Fuse with 16gig microSD (~120) + Icon Mobile (~100) + ATH-ESW10JPN (~500) or approximately (~750 after shipping).

regular portable setup: iMod -> Pico -> UE10s
work setup: iMod -> Pico -> Dennon MD5000s

While they're not on par with top tier full sized headphones, I do think the UE10s are worth it.

Mainly Creative Zen Sleek -> KSC75 (Kramer mod & recable). If it's not too inconvenient then I may throw in the Go-vibe Petite.

Mine is more of a transportable than true portable:

160 Gb iPod Classic > ALO Six Shooter or SXC line out > RSA SR71 or Xin Reference > Yuin OK1 or Ultrasone PROline 2500

It also smoothes the treble quite nicely, while not taking away detail. I also carry a bag with me, so the size is not really an issue. Plus i love the separate volume-knob.. Only minus is that the senn's do have a small peak at around 150Hz, and the voyager is rather warm-sounding. This, on some albums, results in unwanted boomy bass.. :/ -K

SNAP

This beats all other 'portable' setups I've tried, esp. w/ a HD650 cable upgrade... makes the amp benefit more significant, taking steel out of the equation.

Mines :
Transportable :
Imod 5G 100G-ALO x silver cryo dock cable-Pvcaps-Alo x silver cryo mini to mini-Hornet-Grado GS1000
Second setup :
Same but eeepc+Devilsound dac as source.

Portable :
Iphone+Westone 3 unamp.
Ipod nano 3G-Alo x silver cryo dock cable-Mustang-Westone 3

Forget X100 and ALO double 3 mini amp.

Maybe to much stuff...

 

[dallan]

Ipod classic or nano 8 gig-ALO cotton or quable silvercab-Pico or Hornet M-UE Triple fi or ESW9s or SR225 recabled portable

Or the above -ALO custom cryo cable-Lisa lll-any besides UE.

Cost-i don't even want to add it up.

 

[green0153]

iPod 160Gb-Total Airhed-Sennheiser PXC350 or Shure SE420

 

[spacemanspliff]

Samsung YP-Z5 lossless and future sonics atrio m5

Probably going to get a small amp or a Cowan player for better power. The Samsung is fine but we are talking bass here!

 

[thatwunguy]

for those of you that own the klipsch image, i'm sure you will understand...

I have the large zip-up case that came with my klipsch image x10 and it holds my 2nd gen ipod touch, fiio e5, sansa clip 2g, and klipsch image x10 with extra eargels.

That's my day-to-day carrier.

price: ~$550
