The Sonicaps also unravelled subtle harmonic variations with ease; I could hear their distinctive harmonic overtones much more clearly than ever before; in other words, I could better distinguish instruments, tonally, spatially, and harmonically through the imod. When I decided to write this review, I was planning to save some “face” for vcaps, but the brand new Sonicaps did trash my 400+ hours ALO vcaps! Feel rather stupid paying 3 times the price for the ALO now and returning this poisonous box back to Aron tomorrow, what a mistake to listen to it... If anyone out there needs another reason why you should pay $200+ to carry another bulk out that would be for the soundstage - wide, deep, precisely imaged." DoggieHowser(http://jaben.net/forums/index.php?topic=5034.60): "I was honestly pretty happy with my old setup: ipod 5.5 + Ultimate Silver + iQube + UE11 But having played with Tubeman's 4.7uF SonicCaps setup paired with iMod , keeping the rest of the setup the same, it's like I am listening to the song for the first time. Separation and clarity is just amazing. It's like I can now make out individual instruments I never even realized was there. Even when I was dozing off to sleep, part of my subconscious could still realize I was listening to something new. ps even if you aren't going for the iMod, I think it's well worth re-encoding to Lossless. I noticed big differences even with an iPod 5.5 and Hornet and triple fi setup."

To me, this package is a whole new ballgame in portable listening yet still relatively compact. I am convinced in Valgrind Audio and thus am selling to make way for my upgrade Edited April 9, 2009 by david watt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
