tbh, I am really warming up to the idea of trying it out. but...I am also very curious to how the original hybrid protable sounds. I know technically this will kick its fat ass and is more portable than the hybrid, yet the fact that it has tubes just make me want to get one as I have never experienced tube sound so far...
anyway, give us some sound impressions!!! especially with classical music (large orchestra symphonies) will be great. among the very few impressions I have read most of them commented on great sound with rock, jazz, vocal, accoustic..

jalo, many thnx for the reply. And warp08, the rig in the pics is just sick. I looked up the imod and it looks REALLY interesting. My ipod 60g is a 5th gen and the imod is enticing....hmm. Looks like I'm in the market for the slim. Don't know about the hybrid and the harmonics of the tubes in a portable unit since many times I'm moving around while listening. Again, many thanks for this site and its abundant info.

Thanks, dude. I highly recommend you take that 5th gen and send it to RWA for a conversion. You'll be glad you did. It will work best with an amp, though.

The TTVJ Slim is not a hybrid. It uses discreet components, but it still has that warm tube-like sound signature somehow. The TTVJ Millet Hybrid is the one with the mini-tubes. I wouldn't recommend it for "on-the-go" use, but the Slim is really good.

Just got an email from Todd notifying me that I am on the list for the TTVJ SLIM loaner program! so will get to test this baby out sometime in the near future..

Also....just spoke to Todd on the phone and placed my order for the TTVJ Millet Hybrid Portable!!

I've been really curious as to how they sound. can't wait to test them out!!

The 60s will really sound good out of the MH portable.

I'm gonna look into the imod probably after picking up an amp and gathering more funds.
Sorry for any confusion on my part about the hybrid. I knew the difference but was not clear about it. I own some hybrid equip in my home rig(entry level as it is). Anyway, I'm gonna seriously consider the TTVJ Slim and wait a bit to see about the Arrow. Man, so many choices and nowhere to audition these things. But I'm ordering an amp this month in time for summer.

Nice deal for you...Todd is a real nice guy. BTW....just listened to Friday Night in San Francisco through the Slim, it was spectacular.

Enjoy!

How do the two SLIMs (TTVJ vs PICO) compare?

The volume control on the pico slim is better, and it's smaller. There's no dac option on the pico slim. The TTVJ is a good match in size for the iphone, and sounds great.

I briefly mentioned this in the Pico slim thread.

For the purpose of clarification, are you and "The Monkey" the same person?

I've been reading thru all the various portable amp threads and find it very interesting and educational. Can someone who may have both amps, give a comparison between the TTVJ slim and the Arrow 12HE. I'm interested in the TTVJ Slim for its tube like sound and the Arrow for its various settings and crossfeed function. My setup will end up looking like: iPod 160G classic/iPod 60G color 5g > whiplash twag LOD(right angle plugs) > amp > se530s. Thanks.

Of course.
