The Monkey

One thing that appears to keep emerging from various meet impressions is that the Luxman is a damn good amp. How does the size of the TTVJ portable compare to that of the Pico Slim?

Ken, whatcha building?

I had the Michter's US1 rye recently and liked it. A lot.

Heh, snow.

Yup, mine is headed North.

Are comply tips the kind you squeeze/compress and then they expand in your ear canal?

A new DAC you say?

I really wish I could sing.

Tyler, are the "solid" colors completely solid or are they just a bit transparent? I have seen differing reports.

The goal is for us all to have the same rig.

Slim ordered.

Done. Muddy water blue translucent.

Ok, gang, I'm passing on the artwork. Now I just need to decide between muddy water blue trans and black trans. I think muddy water blue is awesome, but black is more stealthy and less noticeable, which is also cool.

Very helpful, Salty, thank you.

I'm thinking about getting the Beatles version for my mom. I think she would love the idea of it, I'm just not sure she would actually be able to play the game.

I'm thinking that the "L" train symbol won't show up on trans black...

Which is better and why?

Man, that takes some balls if there's flipping going on like that. Especially considering that people likely do not have these yet.

Thanks for the input folks. I'm basically down to the following choices in order of preference: 1) Muddy Water Blue translucent for both 1a) Black translucent with R/L as above (but small graphics) 2) Muddy Water Blue trans for R, black trans for L 3) Muddy Water Blue trans for L, Dark Red for R

So, Curra, it sounds like--in short--the W1000x kinda sucks, no?

Greg, the inventory issue is interesting. I have been reading that retailers are short inventory this season. But I also find the vast majority of stories about retailers during Holiday season to be complete and utter bullshit. But ronnie's experience seems to support it. With an n of 1 of course.

I think I heard somewhere that they are "retooling" V.

I liked that TTVJ amp at danjam.
