I want to thank
everyone who has listened to the Amphora and posted some initial impressions!
It was great to see ghostmusic, jpelg, immtbiker and many others at the NYC meet this past weekend and thanks for listening (and thanks for your posts on the NYC meet impression thread).
Special thanks to Zimm for loaning his Amphora to HeadphoneAddict while away on duty. This is very much appreicated and by the time you receive it Zimm, it will be well burned-in and sounding sweeeeeeeeet!

As I spend more time with the Amphora, the hiss with Westone ES3X is a little more noticeable between songs than I initially thought, but it is still not heard during the music playing except between tracks.

With 124dB/mw IEMs, hearing a slight amount of hiss is totally normal. Your IEMs are so sensitive that they are picking up on the actual noise floor in the electronics (even on the low gain setting).

Larry, I was under the impression that as long as the batteries are installed you could run the Amphora 24 hours a day 7 days a week using the wall wart psu. Is this not correct? Thanks.

Hi Miguel,
When fully charged, the battery in the Amphora will be able to play for longer than 24 hours. When the Amphora is ON, it is only running off of the internal battery (even if the charger is plugged in, it is disconnected via the on/off switch when the Amphora is ON - so no charger noise is present when playing. When playing, the Amphora is always "off the grid"). When you turn it OFF and the charger is plugged it, the battery charges. There are no worries about over-charging the battery - you can always leave it plugged into the charger if you wish. The charger is automatic and knows when the battery is finished charging.
Thanks again!
Vinnie
