If you're looking for a superbly musical amp, one that you'll have trouble turning off because it sounds so good, this isn't it. This is more like a frigid girlfriend. If you're a fan of "wire with gain" or whatever the heck that's supposed to mean, God bless you, let me give you my PayPal address. I'll even eat the fees.

Color is fingerprint-magnet glossy black, condition is like new. DACT version. No issues.

Been meaning to get rid of this dreck for years; merely seeing it in my audio rack is giving me agita.

Somewhat surprised that it is still available.
I would have jumped on this if I didn't buy the GSX mini just couple days before your Ad, and I didnt want to ask for a refund as mine was a custom order.

Per HeadAmp's return/exchange policy, custom orders are not returnable.

But yes, there's always the temptation to return regular stock items (especially if there are no re-stocking and/or product return fees) under false pretenses.

Yeah, this ad still makes me smile/grin big time.......for once, no hyperbole, just straightshooting....:gs1000smile:

In the (not so) immortal words of Rick Deckard, this amp has been retired. Yes, that's right.

Edit: it was clearly not a benefit.

IMHO this amp sounds vastly different on different sources; it prefers lower input level. For example, on my May KTE using XLR it sounds like utter garbage, however on the RME ADI-2 using XLR, with volume turned down to -18.5 and the GS-X mini flipped to high gain, it sounds warm, velvety, punchy, fantastic.

Wait... the gs-x mini on the may kte sounds like "utter garbage"? Not what I wanted to hear...

I would NOT recommend that pairing

The GS-X mini seems to be picky about DACs, it will either sound great or terrible. Still haven't figured out why.

That being said, @GoldenOne says he knows people running the combo that love it - so who am I to say 🤷‍♂️
