Just dropped in to see if there were any critical questions come up. I'm in the midst of writing the web copy at the moment so that we can put up the pages and start taking pre orders, so it seems nuts to spend the time splaining it here when I could get the stuff up and answer many questions. (Unfortunately that includes gettiung the manuals done--and you won't see those for a while 'cause Ivy actually does most of the work).
Anyway, Sloth, Dude, you rock! Great answers, thanks! I agree that it Tortilla Yeast should just hang on to his unit, or upgrade to the Ultra Micro Amp.
The other thing to clarify is that the pre-amp output is bassically a second headphone jack in parallel with the one on the front.
OK, all together: "AWWWW, that sucks!"
To which I say: "GEEEEZZZ, when are they ever going to get it." Yes, the line out on an iPod is better than the headphone jack. And, yes, usually you'd NEVER want the headphone jack on something to drive a power amp or something. But our amps, and Rays amps, and Justins amps, and Mikhails amps, or any really good headphone amp is NOT your ordinary headphone jack. A good headphone amp makes a great pre-amp because it can drive any load (cables, imput impedance of the power amp) with wonderful authority. So when we lable that jack on the back "Pre-amp" it does function very well as a pre-amp out, but the truth is, you could plug a second headphone in there.
