Haha, that leaves the playing field quite open. I haven't thought much about it yet, but I'm not sure which way to go either.

Oh yeah.... After giving it some more thought, I'm thinking that the upper bass is what everyone is referring to when they say "tight and detailed". I would actually then agree that the lower bass is rather uncontrolled. For instance, the upper bass to my ears is tighter than the HD650's upper bass while the SA5K's lower bass is substantially less controlled. I therefore have to conclude that the SA5K does indeed have an uncontrolled bass as a matter of fact. I need to try the Qualias sometime.

Haha, yeah. We receive varsity letters for math team. As well as computer team. I know I know. It's sad. Our math team has been considered to be one top high school math teams in the nation for numerous years. We've won a number of national competitions over the past decade or so. Our computer team is quite famous as well. Homepage- http://www.tjhsst.edu/ | Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tjhsst

Argh, I missed this by a month! Why is it that I always miss the only meets that I can possibly go to?! I think I've missed at least 4 MD/VA/DC meets that I could have gone to so far.

Oh snaps! DIY cloning ftw! Sweet find. Anyone going to give it a try?

I'll give this a try sometime over the next week or so. I used to be a freelance graphics designer (Veniogenesis Studios) and designed a few logos for local small businesses and t-shirts. I quit for a year until just about three weeks ago. I recently designed a logo for our school's Varsity Math Team 2006 t-shirt. I might scan the design and post it later.

Grrr, maybe I should get a Dynahi. The PPX3 Slam might work as well. I wonder though, I'm assuming Bangraman's amps shouldn't be lacking in current. \

I almost plunged for the iMod a few months ago. As Bangraman mentioned however, it seems as if it's not worth it. His point is quite interesting as a matter of fact. At first I thought Redwine didn't mod the 5G was because they physically didn't have the ability since the 5G is quite thin. I tried comparing the 5G to the 4G Photo and the 5G sounded a lot better despite Redwine's "The 4th Gen. iPod uses what we believe is the best sounding Wolfson DAC of them all...the WM8975" claim. But actually, the largest reason I decided not go for the iMod was because of reliability. What if my iPod breaks? It would mean that all of that money would have been wasted. The 4G, especially the photo version, hasn't proven to be very reliable historically.

I think it might have something to do with the amping (not exactly amping quality per se, but characteristic of the amp). My SA5K through my Marantz receiver and Sony receiver sounds exactly like Bangraman's account of SA5K's base: impactful and rather uncontrolled like a DJ can. Though the quality of the headphone-outs are contestable, I would claim that receivers weren't particularly at fault since there isn't anything abnormal about the sound of my HD650 through those receivers. When I used to own the DT880, the bass was indeed quite tactile with the Marantz. On the other hand, I've heard the SA5K with a G-Lite and it was quite detailed and fast, but of course there was less of an impact. I've also listened to the SA5K out of a SuperMacro Lite and SR-71, both of which focused on the detailed and fast aspect of the SA5K.

Argh! It's been up and down for at least 3 iterations in the last 10 minutes. Eeeks?
