iMod, YouMod, WeAllMod for the iMod Hifi Audio Mod

If you've been dreaming of "A tighter, more articulately defined bass" and "A firmer and more expansive image" for your 4G iPod, look no further than the Red Wine iMod service. For $199.00 plus $15.00 return shipping, your 4G iPod will be modded as follows:

  • New SMT Coupling Caps after the Wolfson DAC
  • DHLabs silver wire connecting the DAC's output to the 1/8th inch jack (rendering it only a line-out jack)
  • Bypass of the Opamp output stage after the DAC
  • Bypass of the surface mount components in the signal path
  • Free battery installation
If anyone has A-B tested the audio between a standard 4G iPod and an iModded iPod, please let me know in the comments!

World's largest iPod!

"Why spend $13 on a CD when you could build a wildly complicated mega machine to digitize records?"

Amen, brother.

Mister Jalopy of Hoopty Rides explains: "Inside that $15 Farnsworth radio cabinet is a Sansui tuner, a replacement Panasonic turntable, a Griffin AirShark, an 8 port USB hub, a cheap-o LCD panel, a Griffin iMic, a Griffin Powermate, a Logitech wireless keyboard transmitter, a power strip, a Griffin AirClick, a Sony bookshelf speaker, a Mac Mini and enough patch cables to encircle the world 7 times."

Complete details on how he built this monster music maker will be in the next issue of Make Magazine, in case you needed another reason to subscribe.

Mister Jalopy... will you marry me?
