iMod - Versatility for Home and Portable

First impressions with 0 hours run in on the Irukandji.

The new pre-amp and Irukandji combo definitely helps improve the detail and soundstage a lot compared to last night's initial demo with the Creative XMod acting as a pre-amp.

The mids (especially vocals) are now less boosted. And this gives the rest of the music a chance to shine. All the details that I used to pick up from the Livewires/iQube combo are now coming through. Maybe the B&Ws aren't that bad as I first thought.

Only downside is that bass seems to lack a bit of the oomph from last night. Probably need to run in the gear a bit longer...

I am now really tempted to send my old iPod 5.5G 80GB for a proper re-mod. I understand there's now a 240GB HDD that just happens to fit into this old iPod and I can send it along to Vinnie from Red Wine Audio to install and modify to become the iMod.
