no pricing on this and it puts out if I am reading correctly 6W into 25 ohms. Interesting

It looks like he has made a single ended Roc SA alternative, it looks to be very interesting.  Depending upon the price it could be a very interesting choice for orthos since it appears to have enough output power to melt dynamic headphones.

 

With a decent price I can't imagine that it will take too long for somebody to pick one of these up.

The only thing I notice now about this amp is that I don't see that is Class A, then again I don't think the Roc SA is Class A either.  As to how much of a difference that makes I can't say, but for the price it looks quite good.

No, SA headamps are not class A - not Roc SA, nor C-2 SA (thus that much power).

 

Roc and C-2 are class A.

That did make me laugh. Serously, does Kingwa ever sleep?

It should output close to 3W to the K1000, which I imagine is plenty to drive them.

I thought the K1000 needed about 8W total, but maybe my memory fails me.

Yes, the K-1000 user manual says that it needs 8W or better.

Is that 8 watts at 4/8 ohms or 120 ohms?  I have never seen the manual, so I am just curious as to just how much power it really wants.
