Quick question: aside from price, would there be any situations where the MiniMax would be preferred over the Torpedo? I'm looking to build a pretty solid amp to act as my audio centerpiece for the next few years while I build up a nice headphone collection. Am I correct in assuming the Torpedo is more flexible in terms of what headphones it'll work with?
A situation that I prefer the MiniMax is for office listening. Australia is fairly strict on who can fiddle on the 240V (120V) side of the transformer (for anything at all), so the ability to have a tested and tagged 24V transformer means I can have my handbuilt amp in very safety conscious office environment. Based on a very short listen, I actually prefer my MiniMax to Torpedo for my Grado SR225 (what!? Sacrilege!) or maybe I wasn't as blown away by the differences between the MiniMax and the Torpedo (with the AKG 240 Sextett and Studio...Torpedo, no competition, truly mind blowing).
