Review: Portable amp roundup! 56 portable amps reviewed and compared - FINAL update 12-20-10... - Page 165  

Actually the ALO Rx is out and some like JP#s have reviewed it. Cheers.

Heck with it... I decided to just try out an ALO Rx regardless- it's ordered. The few reviews I've read so far are so positive I figured there would be minimal risk of not liking it. So I'll have the Shadow and Rx to compare on my own.

Hey cn11 I ordered the Alo Rx as well. I simply couldn't wait for anymore impressions. It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts about it with regards to "the shadow" in time to come.

Yeah, I look forward to hearing it very much. It sounds as though it's quite spectacular. I am expecting it to better the Shadow. We'll see. I'll update with impressions once both are a bit more burned in. Shadow is still very low on hours...

The ALO Rx at RMAF sounded very good - I love my P-51 and consider it to be my best portable amp, and the Rx was at least as good during the brief time I spent with it. I think I listened to it with both a re-cabled Edition 9 and an HD600 (or my RS-1, I forget now). It made me miss my Edition 9.

My only problem was the size being thicker and wider than I care for when pairing with my iPod nano (or iPhone). But I think the RX paired with the digital line out dock/DAC in the same case will still be a slimmer package than my portable Vcap dock and P-51. It will sit flatter as well and not tip over if I press the controls on the iMod, so I have thought about maybe getting it for that, since I would like the iPod digital out DAC device someday.

I do see that it is bigger than the other slim amps coming out now, but I'm planning on it being a 'semi-portable', and it would see the majority of its duty from my desk at work. From what I'm reading about its sound it could very well be the best choice for that role at the present time.

I will have a review of the Rx soon - it is a stunning piece of equipment

^^ Glad to hear that!

And that stunning piece of equipment should be "hear" soon!!

Same 'hear'.... It's supposed to be delivered today, but I had trouble entering my work address on their site, even sent an email to them to try and get it corrected, but only just got the automated shipping notification. If it comes to my home I won't get it until I'm home this evening... if it managed to get shipped to my work address I'll get to play with it some during the day. Hoping for the latter.

I am also set to buy a headsix sometime soon - at least I am led to believe it is possible! That will be another thing...

I'd like to see Skylab review the Rx and the D4, but I realise that he doesnt have access to every amp under the sun. Now that HPA has posted his glowing impressions of the D4 straight from the box, stocks of that amp may go the way of the Rx.

oooh... interesting... any way you could review the new T3 instead of the T4? word around here is that it's a significant improvement over the T4.

yeoman's work you're doing in this thread, by the way... much appreciated.

Have You Reviewed Headroom's Amps?

I'm wondering how Headroom's amps fit into these quality-wise? Have you listened to them?
