Well designed & built -- prefer these to my Rick Steves cubes,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: eBags Medium Packing Cubes - 3pc Set (Apparel)
After 25 years of international business travel, I only recently discovered packing cubes. Honestly, I thought they were a gimmick until I tried them. If you take trips where you're moving to a different city/hotel every couple of days, packing cubes are terrific, as they let you "unpack without unpacking" -- i.e., you can remove the cubes to get at your stuff, but still repack your suitcase in under a minute the next morning just by popping all the cubes back in place. They also keep items (especially business shirts) neater, and they're very handy when a security screener needs to go through your bag. My packing cubes paid for themselves the first time I had to go through a secondary security screening at the airport.
In terms of specific brands and models of packing cubes, I prefer the eBags medium-sized cubes over the Rick Steves cubes. Two of the eBags medium cubes fit perfectly side-by-side in a typical 21" carry-on roller-style suitcase (e.g., the eBags TLS mini or the Rick Steves 21" carry-on roller, both of which I use), whereas the Rick Steves smaller cubes leave a lot of extra space on the sides. Also, the eBags cubes are shorter (about 3" vs. 5" for the Rick Steves cubes). Personally, I prefer to use more of the shorter cubes, with different types of items in each cube (e.g., shirts in one cube, underwear in another, etc.), rather than stuffing a lot of different stuff into a larger cube.
Having said that, packing style is a matter of personal preference, and others may prefer the deeper and smaller Rick Steves cubes, so the real question is quality and durability. Both the eBags and the Rick Steves cubes are well made, and the zippers on both work well. I think the eBags cubes will be more durable over time, though. The Rick Steves cubes are mesh on all sides. The eBags cubes use a very light, solid fabric (like parachute clothe) on the sides and bottom, with mesh on the top so you can see what's in the cube. I think the parachute cloth (which is reinforced with mesh) will last much better than pure mesh, and it doesn't get snagged on things as easily. The fabric doesn't add any discernible weight relative to all mesh, as far as I can tell. I also like the handles on the eBags cubes -- nice feature.
Whichever brand you get, it's worth the investment. Packing cubes really do make travel easier. My only wish is that they weren't so expensive.
UPDATE 4 July 2012: When I wrote the above review, I speculated that the eBags cubes would be more durable. Sure enough, the mesh of the Rick Steves packing cube has torn around one of the seams, but the eBags cubes (which I've used more heavily) are still going strong with no signs of wear.

I particularly appreciate your comparison of the mesh-sided cubes with the parachute-material cubes. The packing consequences of the medium vs smaller sized cubes is useful too, thanks. Do you find that a medium cube can hold a folded men's t-shirt ok... I mean, folded in the same way that shops fold them flat for display-shelves, not like you'd "fold" a t-shirt for a backpacking trip?

Your review is 100% spot on. We have every size of the Ebag cubes. Love them all. NOT ONCE have we had a tear or zipper break! Also agree the medium size is very good for carry on. We use the large size for jeans and other pants. I will say that the small size is useful for smaller items such as socks, underwear.

The medium cube can hold 6 long sleeve dress shirts.

I have the small medium and large set of these. Depends on your shirt sizes, I'd say if you are a medium to a small large they will fit fine, I wear an extra large and ended up folding my shirts in half and rolling them.

Okay, I'm showing my ignorance here, but this is my first introduction to eBags Packing Cubes. I'd like to know what the advantage is to using the cubes versus just packing your suitcase. Wouldn't it take up more room packing the same amount of clothes? I'd really appreciate some help/advice on this as we will be traveling for a couple weeks in a few months. Thank You.
In reply to an earlier post on Jun 4, 2013 4:52:53 AM PDT
A. Mills says:
Yeah, it does seem counter-intuitive, doesn't it. My personal theory is that the packing cube keeps sub-sets of your clothes lightly compressed. By using packing cubes, you are really packing a few units of pre-compressed clothes (lightly compressed) so more can fit in. In fact the fact that I was able to pack more clothes into my bag did increase my risk of going over my baggage weight limit. I think that if I just made a big, neat pile of the same number of clothes but without using a packing cube, the process of trying to compress all of them at once using the lid of my suitcase would cause the pile to distort and the compression wouldn't be evenly distributed through the pile.
In reply to an earlier post on Jun 6, 2013 4:00:55 PM PDT
Emily says:
A. Mills: Thank you for your response. It does make sense now that it would save space and make for more efficient packing. Will definitely get a set or two.

the t shirt would need to be folded one more time to fit into a medium cube...I fold them the same as shirts then roll them, easily fit 5 XXl t shirts n a medium cube that way
In reply to an earlier post on Apr 16, 2014 6:24:43 AM PDT
L. K. Muller says:
the cubes really make a difference, I've been suing them full time for 12 years. I can pack for 5 days in a 22" roller using cubes, never could fit that much before using them.

Some Mother's Son Lyrics
Artist: kinks
Album: Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire)
Some mother's son lies in a field
Someone has killed some mother's son today
Head blown up by some soldier's gun
While all the mothers stand and wait
Some mother's son ain't coming home today
Some mothers son ain't got no grave
Two soldiers fighting in a trench
One soldier glances up to see the sun
And dreams of games he played when he was young
And then his friend calls out his name
It stops his dream and as he turns his head
A second later he is dead
Some mother's son lies in a field
Back home they put his picture in a frame
But all dead soldiers look the same
While all the parents stand and wait
To meet their children coming home from school
Some mother's son is lying dead
Somewhere someone is crying
Someone is trying to be so brave
But still the world keeps turning
Though all the children have gone away
Some mother's son lies in a field
But in his mother's eyes he looks the same
As on the day he went away
They put his picture on the wall
They put flowers in the picture frame
Some mothers memory remains

I completely agree with the review written under 'Don't bother'. A terribly frustrating waste of time to try and book a 30min pamper session with no salons[which is in someone's home] less than one hour's drive, and the amount paid for this did not match the service offered. Dealing with this unprofessional company and the inexperience call centre staff is a nightmare! I will never use this company again!

Reporters Without Borders has condemned Israeli missile attacks on two media centres in Gaza that wounded six Palestinian journalists and damaged the equipment of foreign media outlets.
The attacks on the two high-rise buildings damaged offices of the Hamas TV station, Al Aqsa, and a Lebanese-based broadcaster, Al Quds TV, seen as sympathetic to the Islamists. Germany's public broadcaster ARD; Russia Today, a state TV network that broadcasts in English; and Sky News Arabia said they lost equipment in the attacks.
A Gaza press association said six Palestinian journalists were wounded, including one who lost a leg.
Christophe Deloire, the director of Reporters Without Borders' international headquarters in Paris, called the attacks unjustified and a threat to freedom of information. He demanded an investigation into the circumstances of the raid.
"Even though the outlets targeted are linked to Hamas, it does not legitimise the attacks," he said. "Attacks against civilian targets constitute war crimes."
The Israeli military said the strikes targeted Hamas communications equipment on the buildings' rooftops and accused the group of using journalists as "human shields."
Lieutenant Colonel Avital Leibovich, an Israeli military spokeswoman, urged journalists to stay clear of Hamas bases and facilities.
In Moscow, Russia Today, a state TV network that broadcasts in English, reported that the office of its Arabic-language channel, Rusiya Al-Yaum, was heavily damaged in the strike but none of the crew was injured.
"Fortunately for them, they had left the Shawa building about an hour before the Israeli planes delivered the strike. RT's office was damaged, so the crew will move to a less-affected floor of the centre."
Germany's public broadcaster ARD said its Gaza office was hit.
"Thanks God, nobody was injured," said correspondent Markus Rosch in a blog entry on the broadcaster's website. "At night, I went to bed hoping for a ceasefire. But in the morning it went off again on both sides. Our ARD office in Gaza was also hit."
The attack on the second media centre shattered a lull in rocket attacks from Gaza that had taken hold the previous night and coincided with Egyptian-led efforts to negotiate an end to the five-day-old confrontation.
Bassem Madhoun, an employee of Dubai TV, said two missiles hit the 15th floor of the building where Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV studio is located. Rescue workers evacuated several people who had been wounded.
Building windows were blown out and glass shards and debris were scattered on the street below. Some of the journalists who had been inside the building at the time were taking cover in the entrance hallway.
Mohammed Shrafi, a Palestinian cameraman, said he was in the street filming when he was hit by shrapnel coming down from the building.
Asked why Israel was targeting media centres, he replied, "they want to keep us from telling the truth."
Sky News Arabia issued a statement condemning the attacks and saying they caused extensive damage to its property and "considerable and unacceptable distress to our staff." Sky News Arabia is a joint venture between BSkyB in Britain and the Abu Dhabi Investment Corp, based in Abu Dhabi.
The statement claimed the Israeli attacks "targeted journalists covering the current military operations in Gaza" and demanded "that Israeli authorities respect and abide by the international conventions not to target media and to ensure the safety of journalists covering conflict zones."
Meanwhile, Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra reported that the Palestinian death toll from the operation had risen to 49 after a civilian died of wounds sustained in an Israeli airstrike. Earlier Sunday, he said two Gaza teenagers were killed when another building was hit.
Three Israeli civilians have also been killed since the confrontation began on Wednesday.
Israel is reluctant to let up without signs a truce would hold.
Overnight, aircraft targeted dozens of underground rocket launchers, and a major Hamas training base and command center, the military said. It said it also attacked a communications antenna.
Israeli gunboats also fired on militant sites on the Gaza shore line, the military said in a statement, without elaborating.

Middle East
Missiles from US drones have slammed into militant hideouts overnight in northwestern Pakistan, killing 13 suspected insurgents and marking the resumption of the CIA-led programme after a nearly six-month break.
The strikes were swiftly condemned by the Pakistani government, with the Foreign Ministry saying in a statement that they were a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and its territorial integrity.
The strikes came just days after a five-hour siege of Pakistan's busiest airport ended with 36 people, including ten militants, killed. The audacious attack raised concerns about whether Pakistan was capable of dealing with the Pakistani Taliban, which said it carried out the assault along with an Uzbek militant group.
It was not immediately clear if the drone strikes were connected to the airport attack. Pakistan routinely condemns drone strikes even when they target armed groups at war with the government.
The Pakistani government had asked the US to refrain from drone strikes while it was trying to negotiate a peace deal with the militants, but even before the airport siege those talks had largely collapsed.
Now the focus has shifted to whether Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will authorize a large-scale military offensive against the North Waziristan tribal areas where the militants are headquartered.
In the first strike, which came late Wednesday, a suspected American drone fired two missiles at a militant hideout in North Waziristan near the Afghan border, killing three militants.
Then, early Thursday, another suspected US missile strike targeted a separate militant compound in North Waziristan, killing at least 10 people, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
Pakistan's northwest, particularly North Waziristan, is home to numerous militant groups - both local and al-Qaida-linked foreign groups - who often work together, sharing fighters, money or expertise.
There was no immediate information on the identities of those killed in the operation but the two intelligence officials who gave information about the strikes said both were in areas dominated by the Haqqani network, and most of those killed are believed to have belonged to the organization.
"We have also been hearing some names coming from our field agents, but we don't have any confirmation so far," said one of the officials. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
The Haqqani network is believed to carry out operations against U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan from bases in North Waziristan and is considered one of the more lethal groups operating in Afghanistan. They are also believed to have been the organization holding Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, an American prisoner of war recently released in exchange for five Taliban prisoners held by the U.S.
Due to stricter rules on the use of drones, diplomatic sensitivities and the changing nature of the al-Qaida threat, the number of American drone strikes had dwindled. The strikes Wednesday and Thursday were the first since Christmas, and even before that, the number of strikes every year had been steadily dropping.
The Pakistani government and military are believed to have supported the drone strikes to a degree in the past but in recent years have become more vocal in their opposition. The strikes are extremely controversial in Pakistan, where many people consider them a violation of the country's sovereignty.
Meanwhile, a Pakistani court on Thursday struck down a government order barring former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, who faces treason charges, from leaving the country. The government can still appeal.
The ruling by the Karachi court could pave the way for the man who ruled Pakistan for nearly a decade to leave the country after an embarrassing trial that saw him become the first chief of army staff to face treason charges.
It also puts the Pakistani government, whose decision to push for Musharraf's trial put it at odds with the powerful military, in a tricky position where it must decide whether it wants to further anger the military by trying to keep Musharraf from leaving the country.
Under the Karachi court ruling, the government has 15 days to appeal the decision, so Musharraf can't leave Pakistan immediately. The court gave no reason for striking Musharraf's name from the exit control list, which prevents people from leaving the country, usually in legal cases.
The 70-year-old Musharraf took power in a 1999 coup and then stepped down in 2008. He later left the country, but returned to Pakistan in March 2013, hoping for a political comeback.
Instead, he got embroiled in court cases, including the treason charges, which are connected to his decision in 2007 to declare a state of emergency and detain senior judges, including the chief justice.

An error on British literary icon Anne Bronte's gravestone has finally been corrected, 164 years after her death.
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall author died in 1849, aged 29, after a battle with tuberculosis, and she was buried at St. Mary's Churchyard in Scarborough, England.
However, the headstone listed her age at the time of her passing as 28 - and it's only now that Bronte's final resting place has been given a new plaque to amend the mistake.
A special service of dedication took place over the weekend (27-28Apr13), when officials from The Bronte Society unveiled a corrected version beside the original gravestone.
Anne is the only member of the famous Bronte sisters who was not laid to rest at the family home in Haworth in England.

The U.S. Department of Transportation's Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) together with Transport Canada, the Canadian St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC), the U.S. St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, and the Canadian Mohawk Council of Akwesasne have finalized a three-year Joint Observational Study (JOS) that assessed the potential impacts caused by icebreaking activities on the St. Lawrence Seaway.
The study's conclusion, endorsed by all participants, is that no adverse impacts to the shoreline could be observed as a consequence of ice breaking activity. Using a baseline characterizing the impact of natural ice break-up and clear-out, the study revealed that the use of icebreakers to clear the shipping channel did not result in any measurable change to shoreline ice scour and/or land-fast ice breaking away from the shore.
During the three-year JOS, landowners along the shoreline being studied, which extended from the U.S. Snell Lock to the middle of Lake St. Francis, did not report any negative effects from the icebreaking activity. Moreover, the JOS revealed that the forces imposed on the shoreline due to icebreaking activities were significantly less than the forces exhibited by ice floes driven onto the shoreline by high wind conditions.
"From the Seaway's perspective, the JOS is unprecedented in terms of its cooperative nature and the thoroughness of its analysis. After three years of hard work, the Akwesasne Mohawk, the Governments of Canada and the United States, and the U.S. and Canadian Seaway entities all endorse the study's findings and recommendations." said U.S. SLSDC Administrator Collister Johnson, Jr. He added, "We will work closely with our Akwesasne neighbors to carry out the study's recommendations."
Among the study's recommendations is that all parties involved in the JOS continue to interact on a regular basis concerning the stewardship of the waterway. In reviewing the findings, Richard Corfe, President and CEO of the Canadian St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation emphasized, "The study highlights the importance of a collaborative approach to resolving issues on our shared waterway. With the correct data, informed decisions can be made, and any questions concerning the sustainability of ice management activities can be comfortably settled."
St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Chief James Ransom also commented on the study, "The Joint Observational Study was an excellent learning process for everyone involved. It shows that if we put our minds together in a cooperative manner, it can be beneficial for all parties involved." Chief Brian David of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne added, "We hope that this will be part of an ongoing collaboration to find a harmonious balance between ice-breaking activity and the practice of our inherent rights on the waterways."
The JOS arose out of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) entered into by the parties in May 2006 to observe and document potential physical impacts arising from icebreaking activities in the St. Lawrence Seaway. The MOU was a component of a negotiated settlement among the parties to complaints filed in 2004 by the Akwesasne Mohawk. With the completion of the JOS, the requirements set forth in the settlement agreement are fulfilled.

Hooray, Hooray, Day 7 is finished. I don't think I like those swans a swimming, they kept putting my count out.
Hooray, Hooray, Day 7 is finished. I don't think I like those swans a swimming, they kept putting my count out.
My weekend away was spent with my friend Kay at her holiday home in Caloundra. We have been friends for a long time, since about 1974 in fact. She married the best friend of my husband and we lived in North Queensland at the same time they did and then the year after we moved to Brisbane they moved here also. We had our children at about the same time and they are God Parents to our children as we are to theirs. We have a great deal of history together. Kay came to Australia from the USA but she grew up in Jamaica and still has that wonderful accent. Her ancestors came from Portugal and settled in Jamaica in the 1600's . I couldn't believe that she lived on a cattle station there.
She set the table for morning tea, scones with jam and cream, with place mats that her Aunt had sent her from Jamaica when she got married. I was interested because they were all embroidered and she said that they were from Kingston and embroidered by the local people.
All the edges are hand hemstitched as well.
I couldn't find any mention of them being available today but I did find a set on Etsy and 'vintage set' on EBay They are really charming and the human figures are a combination of applique and embroidery.
The man with the bunch of bananas got us all singing Harry Belafonte's 'Banana Boat' song and then Kay told us that she shared a room with his sister at boarding school!
The tropical flowers are all ones that we knew.
But I have never heard of Lignum vitae She said these are flowers from a tree the locals called "Wood of Life." It is also the national flower of Jamaica.
So it would appear that something that was readily available is now quite rare. I wonder if there is any other type of embroidery being done in Jamaica?
I had a great few days away with my friends. Far too much laughter and frivolity, but I enjoyed every minute of it. We got up fairly early to walk down to the beach and then back again through the township of Caloundra. The weather has turned very cold, 4 degrees in the morning and a cool wind blowing. This in turn has made every view very clear. We could see right out to Moreton Island which seemed to float on the horizon.
We could look across the channel and clearly see the beaches at Bribie Island. There was a time when there was no channel and the island was joined to the mainland.
Walking along the foreshores all the Glasshouse Mountains stood in stark relief in the clear air and the early morning light was reflected in the pools of water at the edge of the channel.
The sea looked beautiful, but not inviting, just cold.
It isn't the little beach side fishing town I remember from when I first came here. It is now a large town and soon to become larger with the release of a lot of land for housing development. I hope they upgrade the roads first because they are a bit of a nightmare with the amount of traffic around.
I have finished all the kits for the Children's Class coming up in July. It was a huge job especially all the cushion backs. But I have to admit they make the cushions look good. One thing I have learnt when teaching kids, you must give them a finished item to take home. This, "you can finish it at home" doesn't cut it. If you want to keep them interested that project has to be finished in the class.
The cushion back I used isn't what I would use for my own, rather, I would put a zipper in the seam. But I had to come up with something that could be quickly sewn together on the day.
I used 2 pieces of fabric with an overlap on the long edge of each.
To this I attach some velcro to each edge. On the lower edge of the top piece and the upper on the bottom.
(For these kits that was 142 pieces of velcro!)
I then closed the 2 pieces together and overlocked around the edge. This can then be layer, right sides together, with the embroidered cushion front and the 2 pieces sewn together with straight stitching. To keep those cushions plump make it a bit smaller than the insert. My insert is 14" so I cut my pieces 14.5" . When I have sewn them all together they measured about 13.5".
And that linen I used for the cushion front I got from IKEA. I have used their linen before and it is great for cushions. Good quality, washable with little shrinkage and nice to stitch on and it is a fraction of the price of embroidery quality linen. (In Australia it is $12.99 per metre.) So now I can move onto my next class which is the advanced Kogin.
But before that I am going to take a couple of days to stay with some of my quilting friends up at Caloundra. I think that I will only take hand sewing this time. The thought of having to get my sewing machine off the island and back again is just too much.
Cut work Embroidery and How to do it. by Oenone Cave (1963) Dover Publications Inc. New York
Considering that some of the first books about this type of technique were published back in the 1600's this is a relatively new publication.
I picked it up in the second hand book section at the Embroiderers' Guild and couldn't believe my luck that no one else had scooped it up before me. The book was written in England and published in the USA and the Bibliography is right at the front, which is a bit unusual, but it is a great reference when looking for more detail.
In the Foreword the author refers to 'Greek Lace' and 'Ruskin Linen Work' as being the same thing. As luck would have it a donation of 'Greek Lace' arrived at the Guild at about the same time as I bought this book and there is a resemblance but I think this work looks more Italian. The Greek Lace isn't quite as 'flowing' but the picots have 3 knots in both types of work. It is almost as if Ruskin Lace uses both sources to develop it's technique.
There is a lot of good hands on information on techniques here and I would like to reproduce a sampler to add to my collection. (I usually stitch one sampler a year.)
However the sixteenth - Century Italian sampler of cut work (Reticella) fillings, motifs and needlepoint edging is out of the question. Fancy calling this a sampler! Can you imagine how long it would have taken to stitch?

Two great teams - the 1,200-strong shipyard work force and the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies - were honored today at the keel-laying for the tenth tanker in the current build program at Aker Philadelphia Shipyard (Oslo: AKPS).
APSI officials decided to recognize the Phillies along with its talented workforce because both teams symbolize a dedication to precision and exemplary teamwork. Following ancient ship-building tradition, commemorative, good-luck coins representing the Phillies and the APSI workers were placed upon a keel block which supports the vessel during construction in the building dock before the first section of the ship was lowered into place.
The ceremony was conducted against a backdrop of Phillies banners and exuberant team spirit, and included representatives of APSI and OSG America. Members of the yard's Prefabrication Department were featured in recognition of their outstanding performance and continuous improvement over the past year. Working as a close-knit team, they are credited with dramatically reducing the number of late and defective steel plates delivered to the yard, shortening of the schedule buffers both inter-departmentally and downstream in the production process, and a 44% reduction in recordable injuries year-to-date.
When completed, the 46,000 dwt tanker will be over 600 feet long and will be sold to American Shipping Company, who in turn will bareboat charter the vessel to OSG America for use in transporting petroleum products. The yard currently has three other product tankers under construction in the series of twelve, with delivery of the next vessel expected in the next several weeks.

Showing some love for this little DAC/amp combo.
I just got a silver Island to replace an aging E-MU 0202 USB (which has a CS4392 DAC that I like the sound of) and I am quite happy with it. After looking at a range of portable DAC/amps ranging from the O2+ODAC, Geek Out 450, Hifi-M8, and many more, I decided to go with the Island for a few reasons.
- Small, portable size (I travel a lot)
- Powered by USB port (this eliminated the O2+ODAC and HP-P1)
- Volume pot (more of a preference but eliminated all the cheap USB thumbdrive-size DAC/amps like Dragonfly, Explorer, etc.)
- Gain switch so I can switch between headphones and IEMs (eliminated Geek Out)
- Enough power to drive even the most demanding headphones for future upgrades (haven't tried yet but have read it pairs well with the Audeze LCD-X/C)
- A flagship DAC chip (CS4398 in this case)
- Bit-perfect output with no noise (using Audirvana + integer mode 1)
- Good sound quality (output is very clean and powerful, I only have to turn volume to 10-15% on low gain for my IEMs)
- Affordable price (my budget was $1000 but I didn't feel the need for all the extra bells and whistles of the Hifi-M8)
- Good build quality (solid machined aluminum body with good weight)
- Balanced headphone output (for more power to drive demanding cans)
- Up to 24 bit/192 kHz support (nice upgrade from my 0202's 24/96)
- Silver matches MacBooks' aluminum casing
- Not a big issue but the DAC/amp gets pretty warm (not burning hot) since the aluminum body acts as a heatsink
- Gain switch sticks out a bit and could be damaged, not sure why the designer didn't make it flush or used a more sturdy switch
- Lack of other inputs (only USB)
- 1/8" (3.5mm) single-ended headphone out (in case you prefer a 1/4")
- Lack of cheap options available for the RSA/ALO balanced headphone output (I don't believe in paying $$$ for cables, may have to DIY)
- No DSD support (this wasn't an issue for me as I don't have or plan to get any DSD music)
- Could probably use a bit more power for higher impedance headphones (only 330mW balanced output @ 600ohms)
- No battery for use with DAPs (see the Hifi-M8 instead)
For the price I paid ($300 CAD), what I got was a surprisingly solid piece of gear. Despite its size and appearance, it does feel/look quite nice and sounds equally great. I don't have a lot of DAC/amps to compare to though it is very similar to my E-MU 0202 USB but with fuller, punchier bass and a wider soundstage, both of which I welcome. All in all, it's a DAC that outputs a clean signal and an amp that can pump out the power when needed. What more can you ask for?
I'll be happy to answer any questions.

hi, this is my first post! A few months ago I acquired a black ALO the Island and a lightly used set of Grado sr325si (in immaculate shape, from a local reputable dealer) - once the equipment broke it
I was no longer equalizing - (at first the sound was too bright/aggressive in the upper mid/treble but this settled down and I listen w/out eq now. I must say
I am totally satisfied - I was at the local TAVES show and heard the 325e's as well as the fancier Grado's - my fave of the bunch was the PS500e - but the
my 325's are superb. What I heard was a more neutral mid bass and balance from the 500e's - and a more spread out sound stage while the 325's more in the head
by comparison. Mids just as good.
Right now I'm grooving to Amorphous Androgynous The Cartel Volume II as well as Boards of Canada - Music Has the Rights to Children - both absolutely
100% through this combo! Also, Bill Bruford's Random Acts of Happiness is an album I totally enjoy. Everything sounds coherent, solid bass and sound stage..
refined and smooth yet detailed...perfect to my ears!
Back to the Island - this little device, properly matched is a true giant killer - nothing I heard at the show makes me want to upgrade my gear!
I do use Pure Music on my Mac, set to Upsampling. Together with the Grados and the right recordings - killer combo!
looking forward to hearing from hearing from some other members!

Holy moly! I just fired up The Island with my Ultrasone Pro 900's and... wow! Bass is far more controlled and harder hitting than anything my Meridian Explorer ever produced. Also, the overall warmth of the dac has toned the highs down a bit and is a pleasure to listen to. Currently, I'm rocking out to Beck's Go It Alone track off of Guero. Lossless. Audirvana Plus. Bass lines are dreamy. What's the word ALO used... chewy. :)
I'm using The Island with my Pro 900's (40 ohm and sensitivity of 96db) on medium gain with plenty of headroom to spare. I'm blown away that The Island hasn't received more love.
