    Introducing the new Continental V5 portable tube amp

    All,   I'm glad to see the pre-order page live for the CV5!   It was quite the 'little project' - but now you'll get to hear why ;-)   - CV5 is like no other in terms of its small size, high power (325mW per channel into 32-ohm), very high bandwidth (10Hz - 300kHz, +/- 0.1dB), 6111 Class A...

    Vinnie Rossi LIO - Ultracapacitor-Powered, Modular Hi-Fi System is here!

    Hi tme110,   I am no longer a headfi sponsor, so I believe it would violate the rules for me to continue to post about LIO here on HeadFi.     Our website has a link to our active user forum, where we cover this and more.   All the best,   Vinnie

    Introducing the new Continental V5 portable tube amp

      gr8soundz makes some good points above.   Also - there is power and there is gain.   You can have all the power in the world, but if the amp does have enough gain, you won't be able to get it to play loud enough.  And there is also power on paper (using standard resistive load testing) vs...

    Introducing the new Continental V5 portable tube amp

      - CV5 has 1 single-ended TRS line input, and 1 single-ended TRS headphone output.   - Hi/low gain switch   - Volume control (power switch build into volume control, like CDM and Rx)   - USB charger input (just like Rx), can be charged via computer or included USB power adapter   - Low...

    Introducing the new Continental V5 portable tube amp

      It is very realistic, but let's wait for Ken to chime in here regarding the date and pre-ordering.

      Yes - this is correct.

    Introducing the new Continental V5 portable tube amp

      Hi mrmax,   Yes, the CV5 has even more output power than the CDM's SE and BAL outputs.         Hi hykhleif,   Don't expect CV5 to provide proper drive for the HE6.  Those really an amp with a lot of voltage gain.   But for HE1000, LCD2/3/4, and many others - CV5 not only drives...

      Yes, just like the CDM.   Thanks for posting your initial impressions of the CV5.   Vinnie

    Introducing the new Continental V5 portable tube amp

      No bass boost. No treble boost.    No mute buttons.   All the CV5 features are listed my post above,  and Ken's 1st post.

    Introducing the new Continental V5 portable tube amp

    ...So the cat is out of the bag!    I've been working on the CV5 project for quite a while with the ALO team, and I predict that it is going to be *very* popular (I'm guessing the most popular ALO amp so far, for reasons explained below).     We learned a lot with the CDM, and for the CV5...

    Nashua, New Hampshire Meet: Decemeber 5th, 2015

    See you all tomorrow!   Funny thing is that this week I caught a head cold, and my ears are a little plugged up (congestion), but not enough to keep me away from the meet this time!  This is the first cold that I caught all year - right before the Fidelis meet!!!  Whats up with that?  ...

    Nashua, New Hampshire Meet: Decemeber 5th, 2015

    All,   I just spoke with Dwight from Fidelis.  They are renting chairs and tables.  Do you think 40 chairs will be enough?   As for tables, they are going to get as many that can fit in there.  This year they'll rent 18" deep tables instead of 30" deep tables, so hopefully more tables will...

    Nashua, New Hampshire Meet: Decemeber 5th, 2015

    All,   I just spoke with Walter of Fidelis:   - Technics will be there, and not only will they be talking about their company's revival and showing off their new speakers and home audio electronics, but they will also be bringing their new headphones and headphone amp.  I'm not sure about...

    Nashua, New Hampshire Meet: Decemeber 5th, 2015

      Hi Zach,   Hehe - I've been running around and doing many shows (recently the RMAF show, and the NYAS last weekend), so I decided to "go easy" from now until Dec. 5th so I'll be in good condition for this meet!   See you there!   Vinnie
