I'll be watching the progress of this one with great interest. The Wheatfield HA-2 is the most musical amp I've ever owned........Good move Tyll.

It's sometime next year, at the moment. Probably mostly determined by when we can afford to put in the new inventory of parts---unlike the rest of our lines that share an awefull lot of parts, this one will put a lot of new parts in our inventory.

Note: Been watching the emails fly back ad forth and there's some interesting things going on. So please take all comments so far as pre-preliminary info. In other words, things are changing ... for the better, but still, don't make any assumptions.

No, sorry. I thought it was a fun little amp, though.

Very cool! Any chance there will be a balanced version?

The HA-2 has always been a favourite of mine, though to be fair the one I heard had something like $1k worth of tubes in it.

Don't worry Jay, it sounds pretty darn good with $100 worth of tubes in it too.

Hmmmm....

I haven't had much interest in Headphone audio for a bit but I still listen to my HA2 when I have the time. It was actually the first Headamp I owned that I could effectively roll tubes through. I still have over 70 different tubes (including 6 rectifiers) I purchased specifically for that amp. I can't say that I really love any gear but I've owned a bunch and the HA2/HD 600 combo remains one of the all time great Headphone combos. That and the Blockhead/HD650 combo are the only headamp gear I haven't considered selling off...well perhaps I'll hold on to my K1000 and the Fisher amp I use to drive them

I would love to see what Pete and Headroom will do with an "updated" HA2.

No, not really. We're still working on it and it's slated for the middle of next year sometime. One note: Pete decided not to go with the switchng supply. The inrush current to get the tube heaters to warm up was a bit too much to deal with efficiently. A side note is that Pete does have some tweaks for the amp that allows it to be used with lower impedance headphones, so it's possible that a Grado version will be available. But we'll just have to wait and see on that one.
