who's going for it?

Hope it won't happen the same as the prior one....

Who will be the first patient member to step on ????

So the only component in lite that can lower the sound quality found in the regular version is the power supply, correct?

If so I think I will go for it.

Correct. It also has only on input, no output, and only one headphone jack. Other than that, it's the same circuit.

But, at $250 how will it compete with the META42?

 

[jaskin]

I would like to know too. I could get a fully loaded Meta Amp w/ on board PS for that price.

 

[nanahachi]

well i am excited about the prospect, although i expected a different price. it is kinda cool that Headamp will have the Lite look different than the full v2.

however, now I'm regretting not buying eht v2 at preorder prices.

thanks for the headsup Ablaze

np nanahachi.
hope the thread doesn't disappear though.
I'm not too sure what the situation is exactly with headamp-related posts on head-fi really..

 

[AdamZuf]

well where are the photos already?
he should have take them before he posted that

i wonder what about size and weight.
so..the main difference in size is because of the power supply?

 

[andrzejpw]

I think a lot of the gilmore's character came from its PSU, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of effect the elpac has on it.

 

[tom hankins]

So this is basicly a V2 without pre-amp option, and a lesser power supply?

Hi andrzejpw,

I'm a newbie and don't know much about electronics.

Appreciate if you'd shed light on the role played by PSU (power supply) in the performance of Gilmore V2. How important is it? Do you know what "elpac" is?

I'd like to buy a headphone amp and am happy to see this new Gilmore Lite which is within my budget.

Before knowing there's a new Gilmore Lite, I'm thinking of Meta42.

Thx!

is it up on headamp.com yet? and can i just use the linear regulated elpac power supply i use with my meta? can i order without the wall wart? do you think my meta (the one in my sig) wil compare sound wise to the lite?
