Post your Portable Audio Equipment Pictures

Sinny · 8 Jan 2009 at 19:44

Seen this recently on another forum so out of boredom I thought I'd start a thread for people to post pictures of their portable audio equipment.

Try to keep the pic's 640x480 but not essential, I'll start off

Cowon S9 Curve 16gb with Shure SE110 ear buds.

Sony NWZ-A818 player with EX085 earphones.

I still sometimes use my PMA430 and the CX300's depending on what I want.

I've heard a lot about using portable headphone amps to boost the quality and increase the sound output quality, what are they like and are they worth it?

Can't seem to find any on sale in the uk.

I use a regular amp (same principle, different sized housing) and I have to say it's given me a great increase in sound quality.

Search for the CMOY amps which aren't a bad beginner's buy for a portable amp. Check for them on eBay, auctions should exist sometimes where you're able to sometimes send in your own spare mint tin and the seller will fit the equipment inside.

Isn't that a bit bulky to be carrying around? Or do you have it in a very large pocket or perhaps in a bag?

Just seems a bit extreme for something such as an MP3 player.

pingwing · 11 Jan 2009 at 04:29

Its my green creative zen 30gig

2 good years of it so far too (cheapy headphones that cost a fiver though)

8GB iPod Nano --> Line-out Dock --> Custom Cable --> Corda Move --> Atrio M5.

Or just my iPod Nano/N96 and EP-630s if I want something a little smaller and less expensive!

Fubsy · 11 Jan 2009 at 23:23

I've been trying for ages to find a line-out dock for my Vision-M, can't seem to find them anywhere, only for the ipods.

The one that came with the player is a bit chunky and is prone to coming loose in my pocket.

Flibster · 12 Jan 2009 at 00:22

No photo's - no camera.

My players:
Cowon 16gb D2 + 3 x 32gb SDHC card
Cowon 32gb O2 + the same SDHC's as above.

Cowon X5L 30gb - with a broken joystick and a dead battery - works on mains with the remote though
Cowon M3 40gb - battery life measured in minutes
Cowon A2 20gb - not used much any more as replaced with the o2 above. The other half likes it though.
iRiver H140 40gb - still works perfectly - used mainly to record now.

Those amps. Really like the CMOY
Am looking at buying a desktop headphone amp though.

Headphones:
Goldring DR150 - not overly impressed with the build quality - feel like they are made from the same plastic as milk cartons are now - these are mainly used by the other half now.
Sennheiser HD650 - Replacements for my broken HD580's - and not as good.

Shure Se530 + Custom moulded earpieces - Lovely.

ACS T1 full customs - arriving soon... *not soon enough!*

holy bump batman!

8gb clip/fiio e5. i have some sennheiser px100s so all in all i've spent £90 total. i think it sounds pretty decent for the money spent.

gurusan · 9 May 2009 at 12:22

12Gb Sansa Fuze with Soundmagic PL-30

Very, very pleased with how it sounds. Spend 50 on the player and about 20 on the earbuds which are supposed to sound similar (some people even say better) than the Shure E4C

Mulder · 9 May 2009 at 16:51

Took delivery of some UE triple.fi 10s yesterday so thought I'd post a pic of my setup. That's a Fiio E5 and Sony NWZ player. Sounds absolutely awesome, the triple.fis really bring a new level of enjoyment to listening to music.

Fubsy · 11 May 2009 at 06:08

How do I go about making one of these small 3.5mm-3.5mm audio cables to go between amp and player?

I'm stuck with a metre long effort atm, and it drives me nuts.

EDIT: Never mind, I butchered some old cables for the jacks and bodged up a 3 inch cable

For a quick 1 hours job (I'm not great with the old soldering iron) it's alright. Might pick up some better components in the future when I have more time.
