Quote: Hi Skylab,   thanks for your first impressions.   Still waiting for more!

Hi, thanks for your nice reply.   As for the link you posted, thanks for that as well. In the meantime I had found (and read) that thread already, interesting read actually. You`re right, Rudistor-stuff is discussed here rather controversely, but then again, it are always the same three...

Hi all!   I haven`t been here for quite a while, other things caught my attention and time.   Now that I found time to care again about headphones and stuff, an obviously new one attracted my attention, the Chroma MD-1 by Rudistor.   I do own a headphone-amp by Rudistor (RPX-33)...

Short question to the mods here: Has Rudi`s post on page 6 here been deleted (and if so, why?), or did he delete it by himself? Thanx!

This is really a very strange discussion. Some here seem to have severe ego issues. Yup, let`s judge the book by it`s cover, without reading it. Yup, let`s critizise "reliability" and ignore the experiences of those who uses these amps day by day. And yes, let`s make references "to the...

Rudistor RPX-33 mk2 Dualmono

Using my RPX-33 as a pre-amp as well, it`s excellent. The main advantage should be the Dualmono design, esp. if you use Mono power-amps (like I do, using two tube monos). Disadvantage: Not everybody has enough with only one RCA-input. I`m using only a CDP, so I`m fine with that. Comfort...

Yes.

I`m using the Rudistor RPX-33 as a pre-amp, 90% of my listening time (10% for headphones). It`s doing a great job (for both)! I`m using it for two tube mono power amps, and I think it`s the Dualmono concept of the RPX-33 that`s making a difference here. Compared it with a tube pre-amp, that...

I`m one of those who don`t "hear" power cords, been there, done that. Hence I`m with Sovkiller on this one. Using my RPX-33 with it`s stock cable for several months now, as a pre-amp and HA, and missing nothing. But of course it`s up to everybody to make their own experiences (hopefully...
