Phonitor was shipped for repair. SPL said they have two similar cases in Germany. My Phonitor is back and perfect.

Has anyone bought a Auditor ? It's not available in Australia yet.

I came across a Phonitor for sale near to the place I lives and wonder whether it will be beneficial to trade off my maxxed WA6SE for this monitor headamp? My other equipments per my signature... Need lights and guides ...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!  I was just browsing through the post on a coffee break and now I want one but can't afford one right now - this is really going to bug me... Darn it!

 

Oh well....  In case any of you live in Singapore or are visiting very soon, I noticed that Stereo at Plaza Singapura have some demo versions they are selling for 50% off (if they still have them that is)

All good things come to those that wait     . . . . and save!

 

I bought mine unheard.  If we get a UK meet soon, I'll take mine along for others to try.

I already own good RCA interconnects. Would a Neutrik adaptor like this or, even better, Cardas like this be a problem, i.e. introduce material sound degradation?

I asked this before in another phonitor thread. I just got my Auditor and here in the forums I read that there is two modes? One with softer transients or something? How do you activate that or is that only avalable on some Phonitors or Auditors?

I think bizkid mentioned some kind of 'tube' mode when the volume is set to 0dB on the Auditor.

Of course, you need to be able to manipulate the volume earlier in the chain (e.g. digitally with your media player) in that case.

Lost track of this thread. It would be setting the volume knob at 0 o´clock simple as that. No shutting down the amplifer before or anything. I have my DEQ 2496 so no problem volume match from the transport.

 

Can also add that I am getting more and more happy about this amp. Absolutely love it for just about all my headphones except the SA5000. But I haven´t found any combination that make the SA5000 sound the way I want before either.

Hi

I now have my SPL Phonitor with the Ultrasone Edition 10 headphones for about half year and just wish to say that it is fantastic. 

I listen to it connected to a Weiss DAC through balanced professional cables, and my DIY computer music server connected to the DAC via firewire.

This is the best I had so far, including evidently my Litlle Dot MK iv SE valve head amp, I had previously which, in any case, is not at all bad!

Enjoy!

Can it be used for speaker pre-amp?

 

I'm wondering if I can use the xlr output and toss it to a speaker amp :P

No, the XLR-Output at the back is just loop-through and not effected by the electronic curcuit/volume pot.

The loop is made for pro studio equipment, to be able to use it in a balanced mode.
