I think Marlowe is correct as I got mine around the Christmas drop last year and I think there are at least one drop before that one.

@AndrewM888 Out of curiousity and only if you know but has MassDrop managed to get a power brick for the THX 789 that complies with Australian electrical safety standards? I'm hoping they will manage to find one as it would be a shame if such a good product not be sold here.

And latest drop is a pre-order and wait scenario. I'm fortunate I got mine in the last drop.

That's just a shipping estimate, probably the worst case scenario I guess.

@alphanumerix1 Hey, a Brisbanite! Did you order from this drop or the last one? Have you got yours yet?

The reason that they want you to use the RCA out of the Denon to the RCA In of the Jot is to see if the Jot is indeed the issue. The Denon's RCA Out should provided line level voltage which your other sources might not be outputting.

Hello Head-Fi! Umm...just wondering if there's still an Australian reseller or distributor for Violectric or Lake People stuff?

Hello Head-Fiers, Just wondering if anyone knows if the Australian distributor of Violectric or Lake People has changed?

@Loquah If I am a first timer at soldering, would it be possible to build a Bottlehead Crack or S.E.X easily if I take my time? And how are the instructions? I'm thinking of trying my hand at it. Just would like some advice like what wattage soldering iron and what kind of solder. Caps and other...

If any Aussie Head-Fier's are interested, I am selling a HiFiMAN HE500 (with comfort strap and Audeze pads) in good condition with 3m 4 pin balanced cable.

Is the Master 9 comparable with the Cayin IHA 6 or the Auralic Taurus

Thinking of buying the NFB-1 amp to go with my balanced cans and balanced DAC. I've currently got a Jotunheim as an amp but wondering if I can do better?

Thanks for that suggestion. Though I just really need a headphone amp. No need for a DAC section as I've got a good one I like already.

Hello Head-Fi! I am in the market for a rather good solid state headphone amp. I've got a Jotunheim atm and want to go higher. My absolute max budget is 2000AUD. I don't mind second hand if in good condition. Just needs to work in Australia. I didn't like the V200 when I had it, sounded WAY too...

Have used LCD 2.2 with Gumby/Jot and it does work well in my opinion.

So that DOES work! Okay, thanks! I mean, I am using it as a headphone amp at the moment but was curious if you could use it like I was suggesting.

Hey, has anyone used the Jot as a preamp for a stereo power amp with no volume control on it? I just wanted to know if I can use the Jot as a volume control on a power amp?

Please choose the HE500. It IS the better can, at least in my experience and to my ears.

I think I might jump on this too depending on what the timing of the drop is like and how big the window of opportunity is. Never had a tube amp before.

I have heard rumours that an linear PSU can be used with this but does anyone know of a LPS that would output 28VDC and 1.25A at least?

Ahh! Ifi is making up the new site! So that's why it's different than it was!

Hello Head-Fi! I'm about to ask a strange question about using the Ifi IDSD BL as a SPDIF converter for my Gungnir Multibit. I know you can use it as a SPDIF converter to the Gungnir but can you do the following? USB In -> SPDIF Out -> Gungnir COAX IN -> 3.5mm In Ifi -> 6.3mm out. Basically...

Currently looking for a Gungnir Multibit. If anyone is willing to part with theirs, please send me a PM.

Has anyone paired the Matrix X Sabre with a Jotunheim or balanced amp? Just wondering as the X Sabre has unusual XLR power output compared to other DACs.

Has anyone in this thread had a Matrix X Sabre with their Jot? Just wondering as the X Sabre's XLR output has a rather odd power output and wondering if it would pair well.
