I believe that is a wise move, particularly given the prudence you have shown in selecting an amp. Its easy for some on Head-Fi to forget that some of us have bills beyond an invoice from HeadRoom :)

Resurrecting an old thread here to ask a couple of questions. First, to convert the standard KICAS version to the Caliente version, was it necessary to remove or add the jumpers? Second, were all versions able to convert between standard and Caliente, or just more recent builds? Thanks in advance...
