I heard a prototype. Used a hd580 fyi. If I could describe it in one word because I don't really remember specifics, is that it had ease. Passages come through without any trouble compared to say my portaphile which begins to sound congested in the midrange during parts of music where a lot is going on. Reminds me of the sr71, but without the limited depth. The best part is that I have a hard time trying to find it's particular flavor- which is exactly what a well designed amp should be- hard to discern, yet, indispensable. I bet the final version would be even better. Priced below the sr71 too, with switches to boot. My bank account just twitched.

To sum it up-> 250 bucks for a mod that is simpler than the 200 dollar 4g mod? Pay 50 extra bucks to not include the cap? Extra 50 to assure yourself you will be getting a product from ALO? ftl baby. ftl.

nevermind. i was quite confused

Re: Is the iMod a ripoff? now it is. forced to go alo. Sickening.

ZOMG GROUP HUG (>'-')><('-'<)

you could buy wire, a miniplug, and a ipod dock for like 10 bucks parts then make it yourself, or have someone make one for you. Should cost no more than 20 bucks made for one with say a reasonable neutrik jack and spc wire..

added. and as patrick82 would say...

i cannot believe anything could sink lower than x3....

Hypothetically speaking of course. We headcasers are not criminals, so just pretend tomorrow some evil dude pulls coup d etat and decides to off all of us and is gentleman enough to let us choose. I choose Firing Squad because that just seems to me like the most honourable and relatively painless to perish If you are feeling giddy and creative you could pull off the alternative manaeuver: -Manual Firing Squad: run out of cell execution day and charge at teh bahstards.

lol@cotdt and nanoha's whole setup got dissed.

those shakira songs

These are actually subtle eastern propaganda filled subliminal messaging discs masked as audio setup test cds targeting lonely audiophiles. Think about it. HDCD. HIFI. Scantily Clad Woman In Indian Costume. no way that's coincidence.

imod. and how on earth did sloth get a 60 AFTER the mod for 400? Or did he get a used ipod on on ebay or something. Last I looked the refurb 60's were like 70 bucks more. I guess it would be cheaper to get a new hd and an imod versus some new thin video which would be useless for me. I still have to pursuade myself that the 200 would be better spent on a mod and 40 or 60 hd than a 120gb hard drive and no mod.....

oh yea and the cable i used on the above tryout was some cheezy mini-mini if that matters... couldn't find a cardas one..

yep, albeit all i could compare were 320 lame files or face listening to stuff I havent before, though I'm sure lossless would reveal all the subtle nuances that one would get the upgrade for, I still think there should be a huge benefit even with a nicely encoded 320, but it didnt convince me, even though I had been using fairly high end stuff (my sr71 with er-4s(foam) and senns). Maybe I should try lossless, but until then my opinion holds that yea an amp to a 4g ipod is alright, and adding a mod is proabably only worth if you all you have is lossless and some real high end stuff like maybe customes or if you use this like.. as your main rig for some reason..

portables do kind of suck. though nothing beats taking a 650 to a park in the city at night. (although ive once brought along a glite/dps, pcdp and a big power cord LOL) there comes a point where you just have to stop and move on. a pint(50 bucks) or pimeta(90 bucks) with a cdp (via cardas 12 dollar cable) is as close as you can get, and any other junk like 200 dollar ipod wire removal+a capacitor, 350 dollar amps ,and 100 dollar "docks" is just retarded

ipod photo + diy silver dock cable + portaphile v2^2 maxxed blackgates lt1210 (basically a 9 volt pimeta) + nordost solar wind rewired cryo treated canare F12 plugged KOSS KSC35 IS THE BEST PORTABLE SHITZ OUT THERE ON TEH INTERCLOUDS FOR TEH WIN! This is a pic of a simliar cable i made for head-fi user "sauce" (disregard the mp3 player, as it was put in to show how but the plug is)

yay i got a SR001-mk2
