Review: Violectric HPA V200 amp - Page 75

post #1111 of 1401

I guess my v100 is one of the old ones with a smooth rk27, and I absolutely adore it, silky smooth with very appropriate resistance. And to be honest I don't think I would like the new stepped pot, just not a fan of the idea. Anyway, with the old pot, no problem with low volume, tf10 sounds just fine with the amp under normal pre-gain and -12 pre-gain, don't see what the fuss is all about.

Thanks for the informative post fdg, you replied to all questions I raised and I'm really impressed that you take the time to read this thread. To me it seems every time you post, your posts have an extremely high signal to noise ratio :)

 

The 0.3dB QA limit is very good, especially since thanks to PRE-GAIN one can always tune the volume pot to be used around 12 pm so that value actually means something too. In other words I take back my comment about the ALPS pot being a major downside to the product. It makes sense to keep the basic configuration like this. Glad you are going to offer other options too though (for paranoid hobbyists like me), any chance you are going to offer the option 3 volume control system as an optional V100/V200 upgrade?

Hello all

 

have anyone hear the V200 paired with Rein Audio XDAC and Violectric V800 DAC ?

 

I have a change to choose either one of them and just want to make sure I am getting the Best match for V200.

 

Thanks

A fine review of the V800

If I was building a system again I would considering matching the DAC and Amp with the same manufacturer.  Not necessary but if one was looking for great synergy then that could be a safe bet.

I ahve the V200 and V800 right now, the pairing is quite nice indeed and I can highly recommend it.

after a long lead I just decided to buy a brand new v200 to complete with my v800/t1 combo  I know I did the right decision

 I wanted to find a 2nd hand but was impossible to find one  people who had it want the amp  for ever

so if there not a s 2nd option then it  will be brand new happy_face1.gif

Congratulation Bar, I hope to see you soon and compare the V200 to the Phonitor...

Congrats! The V200/V800/T1 combo is really something special and is a high end set-up. I think you'll really dig the sound of your headphones.

 Wish I had the confidence to ship oversees.

There is still time to keep that V200.  Pair it up with a HD800 before it finds a new home.

Well as much as I really love this amp and don't want to sell it, regrettably I have to do it.   frown.gif

I'd snatch it up right from you without hesitation if it could take 230v.... frown.gif I'm terrible with a soldering iron despite having Fried sending me the instructions to do so. (Hi Fried, if you're reading this. Wonder if you remember me. :P)

The soldering iron is my weakness also.  If it weren't I'd be building kits all day and night.very_evil_smiley.gif
