when your cables are heavier then the hornet, you know youre in for portable amp goodness.

I see you have the hornet. How does it compare to the Micro Amp? The lack of crossfeed is steering me toward the microamp.

Thanks,

Its actually a hornet on loan. I wanted to hear how a fully burned in Hornet sounds. I will share my impressions of a 400 hour burned in Hornet some time this week or next week. Ive been real busy lately.

Both amps excell another different things and provide a totally different sound signature, so its up to you, if you plan on doing a lot of stationary listening, the micro amp is up your alley.

if you plan on taking the amp on the go in your pocket for your morning commute on the bus the Hornet is for you.

great pics!

thanks,
before I personally got a hold of one in my grubby little hands, rear shots of the hornet and close ups were far and few between. A lot of front face plate shots, so I thought Id post some super macro detailed shots of the front face plate and the rear face plate, which seems to be missing from 100s of pics online. Thought maybe someone would be interested in seeing more rear panel shots.

At first I was concerned about the rear panel lining up, but Ray assured me it was not an issue, as soon as I received it, he was right, So I thought Id post the pics to show.

Macro pics so sharp you can see the milling marks on the volume knob, the texture of the metal case and the ink borders of the screen print lettering

Heh, looking at the oversized woodies on the Senn I think you could actually fit one Hornet into each cup and Bi-Amp you 'phones for that extra buzz
