Waiting for the unit to arrive...

emm...
what can I say...
in short, it BLEW me away

recently I begin to listen to Kenny G - Loving you
I used to play saxophone before, I play tennor saxophone
but listen to grado, with unamped, never really pleased me,
when the amp arrive, and that is the first song I listen to...
sheeeet... its sounds almost real...
darn, its good.

then I plug in philips SHP8900, I never expect much from this
but its even better for saxophone sound. the high notes really 'hit the spot'
I can't get THAT sound on my AKG K26p, or Grado SR60, or Sony NC earphone
too bad the cable sleeve starts to break and fall apart to pieces. aging problem I think. need to recabble,
now I begin to like my SHP8900

the only down part is
there are gap when turning volume CW to CCW.like 1mm gap, is it normal or just mine?
of course it doesn't effect anything, just.... u know. being fussy I guess

summary:
it increase the soundstage of my grado and akg
it adds clear and crisp, can hear clearly during vocal offbeat of Flyleaf - All around me
it can drive my philip SHP8900
the EQ selection from 0,1,2 really helps when switching earphone/headphone.
consider as small
Excellent, at least for me

it beat my previous amp, little dot micro +.

Now enjoying Keisha - Blow. My grado vibrates because of the bass boost.
not that I enjoy loud music and big bass, but enuff to show of to people who don't know 'audiophile'
and keep saying 'why the heck I spent the money for all that stuff'

and the journey continues...

after using LOD with e11, the sound is much better. sound transparency become so clear. I can't stop listening to them right now.

If before using LOD and I said that the sound is good or best, I was naive. after set up DAP > LOD > E11 > AKG K26P sounds is ... outrageous.
No words can exactly describe the feeling. only turn the volume 10% of E11 and my headphone starts to vibrate because of the volume is too loud.

the experience from changing interconnect cable to LOD is very dramatic. LOD is way more clearer, more details, more pure, and loud, though loud is not the reason to buy LOD, but the details and everything... trust me you won't regret buying it. e11 performs very well indeed. just put correct the source and it will rock your ears.
