There are some pre-production photos but we are still waiting to see final product appearance.

I hear you loud and clear, but looking at the pictures this looks more like a stationary unit. The SQ has to be really smashing for me to carry this "thing" with me...

Thanks for satiating the curiousity Dr. wakeride! The size looks like it may be a perfect office amp - not too big, not too little. Just gotta wait for the production impressions.

Man I can't wait.

I have a question though, I see the info on triad audio forums, so do I send Mr.Larocco himself an email? Is there a separate site for ordering/preording this amp?

I should have updated this thread to say that the production LISA III is every bit as good as the prototype was. It's an outstanding amplifier. While of course I am not able to compare the prototype and production versions directly, there is no doubt the Lisa III is excellent, and may be the best sounding battery-powered headphone amp there is.

However true this may be, would the vast majority consider it a portable amp? It seems to me that it would be a transportable at best. Heck the SR-71 and LaRocco PRII MkII are borderline portable amps to most.

Can we buy one yet?

I'll second Skylab's findings! This amp is just a marvel of technology, what sound!
