STAX is only making 180 pairs of these beautiful SR-009BK (the BK is for black) in honor of their 80th anniversary, and HeadAmp has a few of them! The color is more of a dark gray as shown in these photos Find out more here...

Ok so am well aware that this question to some extent has been posed before. But in my 100s of search attempts I have not found a thread for which detail retrieval was the primary focus and or one that did not have a price limit. So long as we exclude the more out of reach electros like the...

I have tried to contact Ray Samuels at his email and phone but haven't gotten a response. My problem is that I've lost the charging adapter for my Predator headamp. Is Ray OK? Is he on vacation? Does anyone know? Does anyone know how I can get a replacement? Or the specs for a new one...

Hello HeadFi-ers, I am currently using my Modi Uber and Magni 2 Uber combo to power a pair of hd600s and hd 598s which will soon be replaced by M1060s (coming on monday, yeet!). I am looking to upgrade my amp to a pure class A amp and I am quite stuck. My price range for a new amp stops at...

  New for 2017, HeadAmp has updated the venerable Pico DAC/Amp and Pico Slim portable amplifiers with a new bead-blasted chassis finish process. Similar to the finish on many modern products like recent iPhones, the new finish doesn't show fingerprints the way the older mirror-polished finish...

I'm depressed. Anybody else?

I have to admit I wasn't all that fired up about Justin's upcoming offering when I first heard about it, other than his stellar build quality I just didn't quite get what was going to separate it from the other offerings on the market. Ok, yeah, I knew it was supposed to be a higher quality DAC...

Is this even a possibility? I am trying to use my NR-1008, basically as the DAC, and have my Schiit Magni amp hooked up to it. How would I go about making the connections? I would like to go this route, so that I am able to use the head amp for watching TV, Blurays, and stuff from my PC that is...

Let's get the ball rolling: More to come.The photos are crap. This drink is tasty. Broke open a NOS pair of HP1000s. Drinking helped. Review coming? Update: Initial Impressions Well hopefully most people who are in this batch have received their Picos by now… time for some...

Hello Head-fi,   I am super excited to announce that HeadRoom is now an official dealer for HeadAmp Audio Electronics.   We're working on getting pictures and copy up on our website today but I just couldn't wait to put the word out.   I've long admired Justin's work and love these...

I needed a headphone amp to drive my pair of headphones, not like they needed amplification in terms of SPL but in terms of SQ (Sennheiser HD555 with foam pad removed and damping added on the surrounding walls around the drivers).    I wanted to design my own amp that would upgrade the sound...

I'm going to be getting some demo pairs of headphones going around, for certain models from Audeze, Fostex, HiFiMAN, Sennheiser, and Stax. UPDATE August 3, 2014:Sign ups are closed Sign-up now! A sign up sheet is available...

This is loaner #3 (of 6) of my Loaner Program, for the HeadAmp Gilmore Lite v2 w/ DPS! HeadAmp's Gilmore Lite is already a great popular entry-level home-based solid-state, but few around here have one with the accompanying Dedicated Power Supply. The knowledge on the forum of the Gilmore Lite...

It's my understanding that Dr. Kevin Gilmore designed the Dynalo amp for Grado's specifically to match well with their low impendence. Considering that the gilmore lite is a dynalo, and able to drive the Grado's extremely well - is there any true sonic difference between upgrading to the Gs-x...

Since tomorrow's my last day with my Arcam DiVA CD73, I thought I'd better break out the GS-X and try the combo! First, a pic of how the setup looks. Next, for the umpteenth time I have to give kudos to the people at Arcam, who put dual outputs on the CD73 (and other players too of...

Primer on the GS-X For those unfamiliar with the HeadAmp GS-X, I'll preface this by saying that there are solid-state amps, and then there are top-tier solid-state amps. The upper echelon. The amps with huge price tags, built to last a lifetime. The ones you always think about upgrading to...

I wouldn't usually do these kinds of threads but this amp is so rarely seen or talked about and so few have it, it deserves some limelight attention! I got mine in today! I spent over 10 minutes unpacking it! Justin is absolutely without a doubt one of the finest amp vendors we have and I'm not...

A Six-Way Solid-State Epic Throwdown! This review originally began as a simple three-way between the HeadAmp Gilmore Lite, Eddie Current EC/SS, and Heed Audio CanAmp, when I owned them at the same time at the end of June '07. However, I recently realized that I also owned another similar amp...

Intro Sign #1,057 that Head-Fi's gotten ahold of you: you start acquiring components for the sole purpose of writing about them to share with the community of zany headphiles. Such is the case with this. I originally acquired the Gilmore Lite v2 w/ DPS in December '06 - the Limited Edition...

Intro More than 5 months ago, at the beginning of the summer, I had plans to do a multi-way review of the latest portable amps. 5 amps were going to be included. Amps I ended up tossing out and why: - C&C Box v2, because Headb.com replaced this model with the Box+, and I didn't want to...

5/20/07 - Impressions now over - formal amp review thread to follow later this summer I got this in Friday, started listening today. These are literally initial impressions, I haven't had time or the energy to start a critical listening session. - Disappointed by the lack of precision. The...
