The best portable amp - Page 5

At the end of the day, its just the music. That's why I'm enjoying HeadFi. Not who's got the strongest or the biggest...

Thats your POV, but there are a lot of people on Head-Fi who want to drive big cans with (increasingly tiny) portable amps. Add that Ray is very gung-ho in his marketing blurb for the SR71B and wasnt about to be upstaged by the Chinese with a much cheaper amp  - forget the music, this clearly touched a nerve.

This thread is about the BEST, not the butt-ugliest, portable amp. 

The only threads I have read about Dr Xins amps were from people wondering where their amp was - happy to hear that you have yours.

lol

Heard Xin amps are amazingly warm, like a TTVJ slim on steroids.
 

This thread is fascinating. Thanks guys!

I would definitely trust Ray's amps - I have the SR-71A and am blown away. Am soon to get the less portable HR-2 and am expecting to be knocked out soon...

I use the LCD2s w/ the ALO audio cable, balanced to the SR-71Bs and then balanced again to a Cambridge 840c.  There is a significant difference in soundstaging and clarity compared to running the entire signal chain in single-ended mode.

Cool set up...
