Quick questions: I wanted the logo of my favorite team on the iems, will they do it (copyright issues, etc)?

2. How much longer does it prolong the process for Westone to make/copy the logo (if they can legally do it) and make my iems?

Obviously this question is for people with the custom designed iems or maybe someone has asked about Q1. Thank you in advance and will definitely post my pics when the phones come in!!!




We cannot do anything that has a copyright. Sorry.

I'm considering adding another portable amp and dac to my system, and the ibasso D10, Predator and P51 come to mind; the iBasso and Predator primarily to see how the amp/dac compare with the Pico, and the P51 because it seems to garner so many positive reviews, and as a separate for possible use inline with the Pico DAC. However, I'm wondering how you would sum up the differences between just the amps? If the amp sections are similar enough, I might go the P51 and Pico dac route.

Thanks!



In my review I felt the D10 was like a Predator clone with the Pico's DAC, which is why I ranked it #1 in DAC/amps. The P-51 with Pico DAC-only (or other very good DAC like D10) will be a small but noticeable upgrade. (my DAC-only is not here yet)

The D10 with AD743 opamps and AD8616 in the buffers is very similar/close to the P-51, but there is some hiss with the AD743 and ES3X that the P-51 doesn't have. I will usually either use a volume attenuator with the D10/AD743 or feed my D10 into my P-51 for my ES3X.

Okay so the logo is a no go. I have no idea what color (s) I want now.

If you guys could go back and get another color(s) what would it be? (I'm not sure if it should be another thread, but it's on topic so hey).

I'm highly jealous of the smoke black in the thread somewhere but since it's not a standard color and didn't want to beg Westone I opted for the emerald green.

Smoke black or transperant ofcourse.

HPA has Emerald here:

I've seen some new versions of a translucent blue like these:

And surprisingly, I really like "bearable" black too.

Wow Thanks a lot man!! I've seen all of those, but u definitely put the icing on cake for combining the links. I've noticed that the candy blue and translucent blue are both "see through." Other than dark red and i guess dark purple, are most of the colors somewhat transparent? I'm feeling those blues, but that neon green is pretty fly too. I have all night to sleep on it i guess....

You should do a color or design that hasn't been done before.

I was thinking the same thing, but then again, I don't want to go Hot Neon Pink and be grossed out by it's gayness. I like blue, like a royal blue, so I'm leaning towards that as of now, but we shall see.

The photo on the first link was taken by me in bright direct daylight. I think the photo on the 3rd link is actually the same colour (Candy Blue), but just taken with different lighting. My ES3X often look like photo on third link when I'm indoors -- See HPA's photos in the middle of this post, http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/w...ml#post5432706, where there are different shades of green depending on flash/ lighting use.
