Could you have picked a different day? 

  Thanks for all of the help guys, the link to Mouser will be purchased in a couple of days. Also, sorry for the not responding, school sucks right now.  Quote:   I have upgraded already to the RSA Protector, my goal in making my Rx usable again is to have 2 different portable rigs...

Okay guys, so I have an ALO Rx that will not stay charged more than 5-10 minutes of use. It is pretty old and probably has close to 3000 hours. Opened it up and was going to try and buy some new Li Ion batteries and solder them on myself. The batteries in it now are 3.7V - 3.4Wh. I am not sure...

Really looking forward to listening to all of these great amps to help me decide which I want to buy for my K702's! 

On the note of buying and selling gear. I am looking for a used RSA Protector if anyone is bringing one that they would let go. :)

Any idea if someone from ALO is coming. I know they are based in Oregon so they may not be able to make the trip. I was just wondering because they have there RxMKIII on their site now just curious if we could get a glimpse. I can't decide between it or the SR71b that I heard a prototype of at...

Quote:   Yeah I am open to either. When I contacted ALO I also asked if they had set the release date for it yet. No such luck. I loved the sound of the SR71-B. I would probably lean that way over the MKIII. I would love to have a listening session with both of them in front of me. It...

Any more recommendations/opinions?

I have had a good experience with ALO until this experience. They weren't exactly disrespectful but basically said that I could just buy a new amp. And upgrade-itis has kicked in and I am looking to get something with on up on the scale of sound quality. I am also looking for something that I...

Quote: Glad to know I'm not the only one. I have briefly met Ray and he seemed like a great guy. With your kind words about him and his company it makes me want a SR71B that much more! I may be leaning towards it more now even though it is out of my price range.  

Quote: Yeah I know it isn't that old, but it is ceasing to function properly. Honestly I have been too afraid to open it up to even see what kind of batteries it takes. It never crossed my mind lol. Anyone else had experience replacing the batteries in an Rx?     

So I have had my ALO Rx for about 2 years now and put around 2500 hours on it. It is dying. It won't hold a charge more than 20 minutes or so, it does work fine if I use it while it is plugged up. I contacted ALO and they said since it was an old model they couldn't really help me. I am looking...

Great! I'm glad Mr. Grado is going to be there again this year. He had a nice setup last year, I didn't even know what half of it was. 

Anyone got some thoughts on how this does with the K702's. I was considering it mainly for the DAC but it would serve as both primary DAC & amp until the funds build back up.    The D1 really caught my eye because of it's DAC and tube preamp function.
