Filburt Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 This is what one person wrote in the 2ch portable amps thread, and basically this person is wondering if anyone else hears a slight delay on the right channel that creates a "surround" effect that doesn't feel quite right. To him, the XM5 sounds more natural in this respect (but just this, he also states that the Pico has more detail). A lot of crap goes down in that thread, but this post seemed genuine enough to bring up over here. Is this from the dac or also even when it's used amp-only? Quote

I took a quick look, it looks like some people there prefer the pico over the predator on 2ch.. Hey Justin I'm not sure what to do now after submitting an order. Could you PM me or send me an email when I should pay you? Thanks. Quote

Hey Justin I'm not sure what to do now after submitting an order. Could you PM me or send me an email when I should pay you? Thanks. The standard operating procedure seems to be is that he either emails you and then sends a google invoice or just sends the goodgle invoice. Either way, you should know when he wants you to pay and then get your amp shortly thereafter. Quote

I guess I'll quietly wait it out (since I'm at the very end of the line) Quote
saint.panda Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 While waiting for the Pico, is there any mini-RCA cable that is good? To connect the Pico to an Earmax Pro for the tubey moments. Quote

If you don't want uber-boutique cables Headroom actually carries a pretty decent selection of reasonably priced cables. Quote
guzziguy Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 If you don't want uber-boutique cables Headroom actually carries a pretty decent selection of reasonably priced cables. If you would like a mini-RCA that is less expensive than any listed on Headroom, you can always go with Blue Jeans Cable. If you don't see exactly what you want, you can call them and ask them to make exactly what you want. Quote

Basically, I just need a decent and inexpensive mini-RCA cable. Quote

Fungi Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 The plugs on the Monoprice one aren't THAT great and the red/white is reversed, but it gets the job done. And of course incredible price. Quote

Fungi Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 ahaha, how would you know that? I abuse Monoprice. Digital, analog, if they have it I'm there. EDIT: And of course I knew it beforehand from the reviews on the site. Quote
Filburt Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Fungi did you see my reply to you? Quote
Fungi Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Fungi did you see my reply to you? Oh yeah, I saw that and I was waiting for the poster to reply to my question (your question) but I don't know if he's there. I'm guessing it was amp only since he didn't say anything about DACs. Quote

purk Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Got the Pico as well and has been very happy with how it performs with my L3000. Sound surprising good with the L3000, although struggle a bit with the HD-650. Quote
