Was checking out the
Triad Audio website and it looks like you can order the LISA III now. Although it might not fit the size requirements for some, its tempting for me because I always carrying around my PRII in my bag anyways. Anyone else thinking about getting one?

Ok, just curious what case options you folks ordered up? I went with the black anodized aluminum case/end panels, and black knobs.
khbaur330162, we haven't gotten them yet, and have all been anxiously awaiting its arrival. However, you can read Skylab's review of a pre-production unit he got the chance to evaluate. There's is also a copy of the recent review done by Big Poppa thats been posted here, but inaccurately claimed the review was done by Phil LaRocca himself. Big Poppa has had a pre-production unit for a number of weeks running it through it paces. Both the above mentioned parties thought the Lisa III was the best transportable amp they have heard to date.

I requested a LISA III Expedition in exotic wood case. I did not pick the wood but asked Brad to do it based on my preference. As I have no intent to carry the LISA around (it will be used as my office setup since my Solo is now sold) I think a LISA III in a unique handcrafted wood case is going to be a hallmark representating the dediation of two great gentlemen - Phil as a most respected "Uncle" in the headphile world, and Brad whose expertise in wood and dedication to make the LISA into a reality.
BTW, I was the one who posted the review thread and mistaken it as PPL's review. I did try to locate the thread to correct it but for reasons had not been able to get again. Will try again and put it right. My apologies.

Although I have not heard a Move, nor did I hear the LISA. But from what I have read, and from what I know about Phil as an audio designer, I think the Move is not in the same league as the LISA. Not even the Pocket Reference is going to hold its own in front of the LISA.
I communicate with Phil a while back and according to him, only the PortaCode (the transportable version of the HeadCode) is going to beat the LISA, but not by a wide margin. This say alot about the LISA, as the HeadCode is what Phil considers to be the ultimate in sound, and cost 3 - 4 times a standard LISA, when it becomes available to the market..... one day.
There may be other capable amps in the same league as the LISA, but for battery powered ones I doubt if there is one that can complete heads-on. Well, may be a Xin Reference will turn out to be one strange surprise ? Will see in August .....
