I got similar problem, my ER4S has no sound completely on the right side. I cannibalise by taking out my ER4B plugs to replace & it works but I also need to buy a replacement right plug

If you are using at the office, where you probably also have a computer, look at the iBasso D1. It is ok with the Senn 650. You can also use the dac of the iBasso and connect via usb to use your computer as source. I use this with my Senn 600 sometimes in the office and it works. I sometimes also use the iBasso D1 and iMod with my 650 at home, though, as others said, at home a desk amp would give you better SQ and power. The iBasso uses a built-in rechargeable battery and the battery lasts many times longer than the Hornet. I have a Hornet also though it is now rarely used.

I received my iMod yesterday, 10 Mar. I sent from S'pore on 13 Feb. Vinnie received the ipod on 21st Feb and shipped to me on 4th Mar. Vinnie informed me the turnaround time for the modification to the ipod will take about 3 weeks but in my case it only took 12 days!

The cost for the imod and other information on the imod can be checked at Red Wine Audio's website:- http://www.redwineaudio.com/iMod.html You also need to add the cost of sending it by post. How much depends on whether you want to send by normal parcel post, registered or express. Using the 4G imod, you need a headphone amp as the headphone jack becomes a dedicated line-out so you will need the amp for the volume control. If you opt for the 5/5.5G iMod, you will need the special Lineout Dock cable with BlackGate from ALO. So, a 4G iMod is cheaper My ipod was sent from S'pore to RWA on 13 Feb and I got the email from Vinnie that the iMod iPod was shipped on 4th Mar. Today I check with US Postal Service and it shows my parcel left US on 6th Mar, so I expect to receive it next week. This will give an idea of the timing. If you are using the ipod for casual listening and not bothered about the SQ but about portability, don't bother with iMod. The refurbished 5.5G ipod from the Apple Online Store will be a better buy than the 4G, even though it is 30G compared to the 60G of the 4G refurbished ipod. After all, if only casual listening, 128 bitrate ripping is acceptable and 30G holds a lot of songs and music. But if you are into good quality sound, then the journey is more complicated.....iMod, high bitrate ripping, loseless, headphone amp, good headphone or IEM, custom moulds, upgrade cables etc,. Watch out for your pocket ..................

I got my 4G refurbished 60G ipod just after CNY from the SG Apple Store. Definitely a good buy. Also saw the 5G ipod video (but only 30GB) refurbished is offered at the same price. Got a refurbished 5G ipod video some time ago but have since given it to my wife. Condition of both the refurbished ipod were like new, no complaints. Compared to my ipod Video (5G), the sound quality is definitely poorer on the 4G based on the headphone out. Couldn't compare on the Line Out as my iPod Video is GMod. If you don't intend to have it modified and don't use apple lossless (or FLAC, which means you have to have it rockboxed), then maybe you want to consider the 30G ipod Video. The display of the 5G ipod video is also sharper. I have sent this 4G ipod to Red Wine Audio for iMod a week ago. Hope to receive it soon. When it is back I will compare iMod with my 5G ipod Video, which is GMod.

Happy Birthday & Best Wishes for CNY

Congrats, Heady & Absolute0

My upgrade cable for the ER4S from AKZip (aka APureSound) is on the way, left US on Thurs. I will be showing this at the SG Headphone Meet on 22nd Dec

I can bring mine for the meet.

What does a shop look like?? If you can see what Jaben is selling and there are sales, is that a shop?? All those classy high end hi-fi places at Adelphi and at other shopping centres but most of the time empty. Are these shops?? I think Wilson is so innovative to make his place looks so informal and a gathering place for headphone and music enthusiasts.
