Many thanks for your responses. I completely agree that, at the end of the day, my decision should be based on how I'd enjoy the gear with the music I listen to. @loop I'm as well very interested with the Xin amps --small footprint, Huge Sound as they say. Very excited to hear a friend's supermacro & supermicro over the weekend. Not so excited though is the alleged waiting period to secure one. @tbln I will have a chance to try both RS Tomahawk with a Shure E500 this weekend. I will post my impressions then. @gene83 Battery life is definitely a huge plus-factor during travels; that'll definitely play a factor in my decision process. As for the Meier Corda Move, interesting to hear how much better it can be as compared to the Porta Corda. @warsurferX Yup, I'll be bringing my Porta Corda along on my tests. Will take your advice, 'Won't fix what aint broke!" @[J]-ohn I'm getting mixed feedback in the comfort of the Triple.Fi pros. Will definitly give it a shot before I pass my own judgement. Keep your responses coming. Really apprecite the kind words & the possible options.

Hi, I'm quite new in this forum. I've rediscovered portable audio recently --have been more intent in home and car audio during the past year. As i find myself travelling a lot more now, I'm contemplating on getting some quality, travel-friendly portable gear. I've set aside my next weekend to audition a couple of stuffs from friends and shops: IEMs: -Shure E530 -Shure E500 -UE Triple.Fi pro -Westone UM2 Amps: -Xin Supermacro IV & Supermicro IV -RS Hornet & Tomahawk (hoping to find an SR-71) -Meier Corda Move Given this, I'd like to get your impressions and suggestions which best gears to secure --that is, of which you've own/ed or listen to. Just want to get your take on the mentioned gears and probably some suggestions if I have missed any in my list --that I should give good consideration to. To provide some perspective, I listen to mostly to jazz & blues (the likes of Jane Monheit, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Natalie Merchant). My current portable rig consists of: a Modded Ipod, Stax SR001MKII and Cardas 2x21 IC. From time to time, I switch the Stax set with a Meier Porta Corda-Grado SR225 combination. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy with how my rig sounds, my concern has been more of the bulkiness of the rig during my travels. Looking forwards to your thoughts and responses. Thanks in advance! Regards, Jerry PS. I may also be open to trade or sell my gears (except the Ipod & Cardas IC) for those items I've listed. You may just PM me directly if you have some deals in mind.

Hi, PM'd you. Kindly check.
