I like the amp section a little more than my Predator - it sounds a little more open and rich sounding, and not as forward. I thought it was as good as my P-51 which is my favorite RSA amp with Predator a close second, Hornet a close 3rd and Tomahawk last (but still good). I haven't heard the SR-71 yet.

To me the SR71 and the P51 are a bit different sounding but at the same level. Both are outstanding and should bring a big smile to your face. If you need portability and punch go w/ the P51, if you need finesse and micro-dynamics go w/ an used SR71. Regardless of which you will be very happy. Cheers.

Note: IMO both the SR71 and the P51 are superior to the Predator.

The SR-71 is truly a praiseworthy amp. One of my favourites now and has been for years. HPA - you really should get the chance to hear one - simply delicious.

A dumb question coming up: Is it worth buying The Shadow, when I own Cowon S9 along with Westone 3's - is the difference worth the 400 bucks? considering Im just a humble poor student

EDIT: I also heard there is a clear case coming up for the Shadow. Does anyone own any pictures of it in a clear case? Thanks

I know the P-51 tightens up the W3 bass and fills out the sound a little over my iPhone 3GS headphone out, so I imagine you might get the same kind of improvements with the S9/Shadow. (Haven't heard an S9, but my P-51 sounds similar to Shadow).

iDark I dont think it is clear, it is whitish silver with black lettering on it. That's the impression I got from Rays reply when I asked him the same kinda question anyway.

Edit: Saying that I still haven't a single Shadow which isn't black. Please can someone who has the white/clear one post a picture.

[justanut]

1. Hey lads, just curious, im looking for a portable amp to complement an imod 5.5 (ipod video 5.5) with UE TF10p, overall, which would you recommend? Shadow vs Pico Slim vs P-51 vs [anything else]

keeping in mind i'll be pairing the amp with a nuforce udac (as DAC) when in use with laptop.

2. is this set-up good?

3. or should i just go with a usb/dac eg, ibasso D4 which would be less portable?

cheers

 

[mesasone]

It's not on your list, but I really think the iBasso T3 is an excellent match for the TF10s.

Heres a shot of it with an iPod Nano 3G and RSA's milspec lod.
Both can even fit into the pouch that comes with the Shadow!

Here are some very poor iPhone photos of the Shadow. I will take better ones with my DSLR if needed.

These are with my iPod 5G, JH16 Pro and RSA Shadow. The cable is Whiplash Micro LOD with right angle Switchcraft. The blue bag is what my Shadow came in and not the "sweater" looking case/sack.

God I can't believe how awful these iPhone pics are.

 

[jamato8]

A picture is worth 1000 words. Looks like a great setup. I love the sound of the Shadow.
