LOONNNNNG post but a very good one. Especially for those who can not spend the time that this hobby really deserves to really research other opinions or actually test products, well written reviews like these are invaluable. I wish I could go through the entire thread but that will not happen. Just a suggestion, I know it is minor and can be done by the individual (since you also were very wise in providing direct links or providing ways to get ahold of each item) but can you create a listing of prices. Better yet just have a the ladder listing the 26 prices and place them from top to bottom? Thanks!

Ooh, glad I re-read these reviews. I just bought an MKIII off the FS forums, and wasn't totally confident, as I hadn't found enough full-length reviews. So excited now, this'll be my first amp!

Even better would be a histogram graph with the Y axis as QUALITY or RANK, and X axis as PRICE, and then all the "dots" would be the different amps.

Then we could see which ones offer the best value of sound for the price. We could even do linear regression to get the best slope of the line "Dollars vs Quality", and anything above the "line" would represent the best deals for the price.

Hey Skylab,

Anything coming soon?
No Rush just wondering.

Would you ever rate the Mini3 or the MiniBox-E? Just curious

Thank you for all your feedback,

Best Wishes,

Izzy

He better review it soon. His other 30 amps need some more company.

I jest, of course. But I think the quality of the V7 Max will really surprise him. I'd bet that it sounds as good (or almost as good) as other amps costing much more. It really outperforms any of Norm's previous offerings. And Skylab and I seem to have similar ears, so I'm sure he will agree.

The reason it hasn't gotten much love here is because he only made 25 of them! The other 35 V7 models were Eco. Luckily for people on a budget, Jaben will be making these great amps soon for lots of people to enjoy.

I tried to buy a max version, in extra case, with special sauce. I emailed Norm on a Wenesday, he replied with price and paypal address on Sat, I paid on Monday when I returned from out of town. He refunded me Tuesday because they'd sold out over the weekend

OTOH, that money went to an iBasso D1 instead (and another penguinamp, then a Headsix, then a headstage w/dac...).

Yes, I have the MiniBox E, the GV7, and the Visely HEA-1 all in for review, and they will be added to this review as soon as I finish up a couple other projects.

Hopefully it will be the GV7 first as it is now a boutique amp and in need of a discerning review.
