Skip,
Do you use the blue one for $7.50 or the green one for $6.95, or are 
they the same?  Also they have 2 identical blue ones, ADA-HE-280B and 
HE-280B.  All 3 say they use the same chipset.
I bought one of the blue ones at a flea market and it seemed to have 
some rolloff issues, but I can't quite remember. I put it away after 
trying to get it to work, but if you have had success I will try again.

I am really happy with my Griffin iMic (silver, pre-iPod styling model), 
but those are $40 now.
