Comparison request: Nano Vypyr vs Vypyr VIP 1. Thoughts / sound / performance / ease of use comparison? Trying to decide between the two. Thanks!

I've not heard the VIP but the Nano is a pretty nice practice amp or "hang out with your friends and jam" amp. The smaller speaker lacks the punch and bottom-end of a 10 or 12 inch speaker (i.e. it's a little bit thin sounding) but the built-in effects more than make up for it. It's super-easy to use and has a more than a few nice sounds to dial in but you don't get the flexibility that you would with a pedal board. If you want something you can take with you on a weekend trip and jam then this is your amp. If you are looking for something that is gig-worthy (even when mic'd) or something that can project over a drummer, I would look elsewhere.

The VIP 1 is the Better all around Guitar Amp, The Nano Vypyr is a great portable amp for it's DC Battery capabilities, Thanks, 8thstreet Music..

They're both around the same price but the VIP1 is a more powerful amp with more features. However, it can't be run on batteries and is larger. If portability and having an amp that you can take anywhere (and is plenty loud) is important to you, get the Nano. Otherwise, go with the VIP1.

Buy the V-Moda Crossfade LPs. I've had mine for 3 years now and they hold up like they are brand new. Everything sounds truly amazing. I have given them as gifts and convinced a friend of mine to buy them, who DJs in Vegas part-time. He was blown away and said he has never heard anything better for the price.I've demoed the SOL Republic products, but was very underwhemled. If you buy these, you will be disappointed in comparison to the V-Moda Crossfade LPs. Keep in mind, these SOL Master Tracks have a 40mm driver, and the Crossfade LPs have a 50mm driver. Bigger driver, bigger bass, higher quality sound.Buy V-Moda :) Buy the V-Moda Crossfade LPs. I've had mine for 3 years now and they hold up like they are brand new. Everything sounds truly amazing.

I have the Peavey Vypyr VIP and the Sanpera II footswitch. It has a great range of options, amp types, and voices. With the footswitch, you can control volume and it has a looper, which is really cool. With that said, it doesn't have a great deal of resources for how to use either of them. I have tried out the Mustang and it is incredible. Great instructions, easy to use software, and wow, the amps really sound as good as the amps it models. The "clean" is awesome. I cannot get a really good clean from the Peavey. Mustang wins for me, hands down! And you don't have to purchase the $200 footswitch to "unlock" it features.

680.v3 is more for a club and scratching environment, good low response. The 680e.v3 is more for monitoring and remixes. Very clear and good stereo imaging, not too good for groove holding and scratching. As far as the interchangeability, I am unsure. Hope I answered your question.

My cousin, to my dismayed surprise, has the Soundbot SB240 upon showing off my 66 Audio. They look the same, they feel the same, they sound the same, they ARE the same. Unless you think the extra pouch is worth it, no the extra cash is not justified.

I have the latest generation I-Pod nano. They provide uncompromised excellent sound and have a comfortable fit for my needs. The best out of whatever is out there (or at least whatever Best Buy has , as I sampled all that they have). Monitors work great with my I-Pod. One thing I noticed, though, that battery life decreases by about 20%. Difference being it takes more juice to power the Monitors as opposed to ear buds.

Hi Folks,I just purchased the Pioneer Elite VSX-31 but I am most likely taking it back to buy the VSX-1021. The 31 has very limited network capability and the i-phone app is weak as well. I also couldn't find a way to increase the base response. I am also considering the RX-V671 from Yamaha. It comes out next Month and has many more features. Has anyone looked at the RX-V671.Thanks,chuckp

Hi M., sorry I didn't get right back to you...Yes, I'm surprised that people aren't commenting. Sound is not an insignificant element! Soooo... Does the 210 sound more "lively" and "present"... more Sony-like!? :-) If so, I certainly should have bought THAT one recently when I went to Sangean (El Monte, CA) distribution and swapped 400's, after I lost FM reception on my old one!Thanks,Alan

I agree with the others. My Nano is currently sitting with a broken tail. I have given up on it for a while. The WL Toys V911 would be my choice for next step. Very fun, very durable. I use my Double Horse 9116 Tx for mine. Plus you can get bind and fly replacements for 20 to 25 on Ebay.

The nano has easy to use Bluetooth. Any spearker system with it will work. Wonderful feature!

May I suggest looking at comparative videos on YOUTUBE and making sure that you click on the HD option. I find the YOUTUBE quality to be better than Vimeo. Please post your reactions then.Awaiing the CNET comparative review...

Hi - I have owned both. I am a bedroom player but experienced. I would say the two units are almost identical in terms of user interface. In term of sound, the POD gets a slight nod because the it is slightly more "warm". However, the high gain settings are pretty equal. I was happy with both. I am using the V Amp 3 now. Both are excellent units.

Thanks for the info. I ended up keeping my 1st gen & doing the upgrade for $10. I love it! After using it the speaker seems like it would be worthless & it is very easier to adjust the volume anyway.

The sound does not compare well. If the A33 is in your price range and the portability is something you can sacrifice, the A33 is worth it. I have both the Trek and the A33 (different purposes for both), and as you can imagine, you'll hear a much fuller sound from the A33 over the what this A26 offers. I agree with A/V Man that the sound quality is pretty thin (and I find it to be too thin for the price, to be honest), but I kept it anyway. Probably should have checked out the UE Boom, but since the A33 was so good I went for it, anyway. Live and learn.

I have a UE Boom, and love it. But the UE is really big compared to the TDK. For travel, the TDK is the absolute winner. It's the best speaker at its size I've ever heard. I haven't really listened to both the TDK and UE against each other. But I've been listening to the TDK at about 80 dB for the last couple of hours now in an 800 sq foot area and I feel no fatigue. It's very pleasant. I know that's not an audiophile term. It should be. Just transitioned from "All the Young Girls Love Alice" to "All You Need Is Love" and I really like how these speakers present the detail though they can't vibrate the floor. Now we're on to "Alone Again, Naturally" and the tambourine is perfect. Anyhow, buy these speakers. I have a UE Boom, and love it. But the UE is really big compared to the TDK.

Thanks, that helped a lot. I just looked up the ipod nano vidio and realized that it does everything the classic does, it's just smaller. It even costs less. I also wasn't able to find any complaints on it, which is much more than can be said for the classic. Thanks again, I'm going to get that instead now and probably save myself a lot of disappointment.

I'll be able to do a direct comparison soon, as I've got a PX312 coming in, after purchasing the VN-302PC. The specs and features are very nearly clones of each other, but I've found that the Olympus lacks some rather basic abilities that the Sony covers, such as a means of moving files between the 5 folders for organization. Also, the files recorded on the internal memory can't be moved over to the external memory card through the recorder; though it's easy enough to do when connected to a PC. It shows up as two separate drives on the PC, and the files remain uniquely named whether recorded on internal or external memory, so it's a simple matter to just copy them over. (If they reused file numbers on int vs ext memory then there would be an added complication of renaming before copying). I'd rather that the file names included the timestamp, like some other recorders do, but neither of these do that. Record quality of the Olympus is fine, so if the Sony does just as well, the Sony has more comprehensive features. The file erase process is better on the Sony as well, because it plays back the recording you're about to erase for confirmation before recording. With the Olympus you have to stop the playback on the target file first and be careful that it didn't advance to the next file, and watch the screen for the sequence of prompts to follow through with the delete process. I think the Sony method for deleting is better because it can be initiated while the target file is playing, and the playback of the recording as confirmation has less potential for inadvertently deleting the wrong recording. I believe the Sony also retains the time for at least a minute during battery changes, while the Olympus loses an hour or two and needs to be reset. It's not very significant since the batteries last so long, but so far, all the pros have been on the Sony side. When I get the Sony in hand I'll see if it actually performs as well as the Olympus
