Nik, just out of curiosity... Could you please let us know how your new monster sounds with high-impedance phones like HD600s? BTW, when do you expect to recieve it?
After giving it a thougt I came to the conclusion that the HD600s probably would be a disgrace to your new amp... Maybe it would take offence?

Hi,
I think that the new amp will be at my door firsts days of next week. For the words of the designer a hi impedence headphone do not have problem with this amp, the problem would be with a very low impedence cans as 16 ohm or less. But Mr. Garlaschi said to me that a monster like this have no problem with any headphones you can use with it. And I believe in his words. I remember very well the POWER that came out of the first Angstrom I had... IMPRESSIVE!!!
But see you next week...
Best!

Hi Merton,
generally Angstrom Research makes a very hi-end (hi.cost) equipment, they work only by special order and need a lot of time to build a piece, because extremly cured and tested. And because they use incredible hi components and parts. But you can durectly speak with them. You can tell your need to Mr. Garlaschi (that know English like me!!!) you can tell to him that Nicola gave to you his e-mail address: robigarlas@libero.it
... I'll very happy if you will replay to me about your conclusion...
Best!

i just wrote him asking for an amp that would cost $750 or less.. and i also asked hime if he could just design an amp and we could let the people on head-fi build it... kinda like an angstrom meta 42 sorta thing... i said i'd consider paying up to $750 for the design.. but that the parts to build it must cost no more than $750 (u.s. currency).

well.. just realize i'm just seeing whether or not they would even do this.. it would be nice to have a new DIY amp for head-fi... an angstrom DIY high end amp... *sigh* it'll be a year before i could even really do this.. and i'd be giving up an mspro purchase for this.. if it's just a design that i buy for head-fi someone better build it for me

MERTON,
Hey that's only 27.27 yards to mow, parts included. Don't forget your salt tabs...

salt tabs? those are bad for you.. i just drink about two gallons of water (seriously)... and if i do get them to just design it... i would like someone to build one for me... i think it would be neat to have an angstrom DIY amp here.
EDIT!!!!!!!!! oh... and i asked for it to be all solid state.. for reliablity and convenience.
