    WTS: SOLD

    Why your Redwine Audio IMod don't have the "REDWINE AUDIO" sticker? Is it IMod or other DIYMod? Free bump for you!
  2. Any vote for the great service at Stereo! Bought my earphone there and was quite "lucky" to get a lemon set. Went back and Aron changed to a new set for me without any question asked or any testing. Thanks!
  3. Sorry... side track a little bit.. Where to buy Small Olives? Have bought olives from Jaben, asked for the smallest, but not as small as the smallest comply. Is the smallest olive still quite big in size compared to the comply or I am not getting the smallest olives available? Thanks!

    Apple ipod

    Haha... we share a similar path of upgrade.... I used to have a D2+, then upgraded to Ipod 4g, and then the next obvious upgrade will be to IMOD it! Happy Upgrading! Cheers, Mark
  5. Yap... to each his own! I used to think it is hassle to bring another amp and caps when the sound should be around the same. When treid amp and caps, the improvement is just making the weight worth it! I am flying quite a bit and the music helps in making the flight more enjoyable. Will reconsider going unamp if I change job, but will definitely be a difficult position when I am so used to the sweet music now! Enjoy the music!
  6. Agree that Sony has nice sound signature. There are also people who likes iAudio as well, such as the S9, which also do not need a amp. For me, now used to amp and really makes a big difference to SQ except the weight!

    Apple ipod

    Or get a refurbished set from Apple? Actually, have seen quite a few quite well maintained set in some of the classifieds web while looking for my previous Imod. Some owners really took very good care of it and I believe you should be able to buy 1 set with good price. If you are not rockboxing it, you can really consider converting all to apple lossless, then buy a brand new set of ipod classic 120GB version. That's provided if you do not intend to mod it in the future! Cheers, Mark
  8. Bought the last set from Birlington Square (the building besides Sim Lim Square, at around $150). However, it is the last set and I am very sure they don't have any more stocks. Occasionally, Jaben brings in a few limited set and you might want to keep a lookout. There are a few sets available last month for just 1 day and all snatched up within the day as I was there in Jaben. If you are really keen to get a brand new set, suggest ordering from the net... have tried almost all the gadget stores and confirm no more left (not even the old sets). For the price, it is really a worth it set!
  9. Just to clarify, are you looking for new set or 2nd hand set?

    Apple ipod

    Hi Dio, If you do not wish to rockbox it, you can also convert all the FLAC files into Apple Lossless with dbPoweramp. Converted all my FLAC (around 400 files) in quite fast speed!
  11. Just came back from Stereo and saw the IQube V2. Comes with 2 version, with the white one as limited edition set (no more rubber peeling issue!). But the white one cost $100 more than the normal IQube V2!

    Upgrade?

    You should be able to tell the difference in sound signature with each IEMs using any sources, but for the best match with your S9 and ears, perhaps try them and buy them when you really like them?
  13. Thanks! Guess the only advantage of the X1000 compared to an imod will just be the portability. As usual, when a new player is out, there will be many supporters and recommending it. Good to know the real comparison between a real good source - an imod! Thanks again!
  14. Anybody tried comparing the X1000 to any of the IMOD or locally done modded ipod? Assuming price is not in the equation, how's the SQ of a Imod with a good amp compared to a Sony X1000? Actually the price of a new x1000 is close to a used imod, so it will be good to compare. Anybody?

    Upgrade?

    There are quite a few good used UM3x on sale recently and the price should be near to a new UM2. Worth it as it is really a good match to a Cowon MP3 player such as D2 or S9. Good luck in your search.... Or go for a Westone W3 if you are more into pop..... 2nd hand set should be quite affordable now! Cheers!

    Upgrade?

    I would go for the ESW9 for the much better sound.... S9 is nice if I am using it for portability.
  17. My GoVibe DAC will be detected by Windows XP without driver needed - will just show "Burr Brown"...
  18. Bought my A8 on the SQ flight previously... it was priced at around S$160 I think. The "clip" looks nice, but I couldn't get a good fit with it, and sold it off for a UM2 2 years back. Not much bass but it does look expensive....
  19. Hee hee... owned a UM2 for more than 2 years and didn't know they have interchangeable cables? Anyway, I am using UM3X now and as I have always been used to the Westone sound signature, I think UM3X is great!
  20. There is a local RWA dealer selling RWA products including new IMOD 5.5G (Imodded from refurbished Ipod 5.5G). Just called to check yesterday and there is 1 last set left. Scary price though. End up sending my old Ipod Photo to RWA for the Imod directly. Happy searching!
  21. Checked with Farle last week, no leather pouch left. No stock. Only saw the acrylic case and look quite nice!
  22. Just bought the last Sansa Fuze in Sim Lim area.... think it is really the last one in Singapore. It is pink colour, but I must say, the built quality is good and the sound is really nice! I think the only way to get this will be to order from web. Have checked with most stores in Sim Lim, including Song Brothers... they are no longer carrying Sansa nowadays. There are only some new sansa available, known as Sansa View (saw some in Funan), but heard the sound quality is not as good as the Clip or Fuze. Or get Sony X1060... looks nice (saw it in the airport, Sonystyle, T3)!
  23. Huh..... with warranty still need to pay or because warranty is over?
