Hey guys,
My first foray into portable audio, now that i've started commuting on the train
Bought the iPod 2nd hand from AndyBTSN and it's VERY good condition, if you you know ipods you'll know the rears scratch just by even looking at them:

The tin of mints is actually a CMOY amp reccomended by Electric ant in:

Custom built from america, took under a week to come even though it was over the new year! Sounds good, makes quite a nice difference, it's Very well made and nicely finished:
Now to the most special bit, the earphones!

Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10, triple driver in ear monitors
EXTREMELY good, I have a pair of beyer dynamic DT770 for home listening, and these blow them away! Good response all the way from low to crisp highs, and it's all tight! Even the ridiculously low bass extension is held nice and tight, makes listening to any well recorded music a dream Good sound isolation too, perfect for on the train! They are expensive at ~£200, but if you're using them every day, worth it! Replaceable leads too, so no worries about the most fragile part breaking
removeable lead
All in all, very happy with it all so far!

Ill probably still use the ipod unamped for the gym so i'll leave that be, and i cant justify £100+ quite yet on a headphone amp
