That is strange, my friend, we talked about a week ago regarding your needs for an amp for recording & traveling with both sensative phones & HD600 & I spend 30-40 minutes with you explaining every amp I have & what is designed for, you asked for SR-71A & I replied that we don't have it in stock.
Could that have been some one ELSE?????

Thanks for the personal response, Ray. I did leave you a message in the middle of July as I had a late August and September tour lined up with a pop star doing her IEMs.
If someone did speak to you a week ago about the same matter, I can assure you it was not me... I have only tried calling the one time last summer. Maybe someone saw this thread and had a similar problem, did they give a name?
If you would like to discuss your amps, Ray, PM me and I will send you my contact info.
Regarding my amp budget, yesterday a tour that was planned for over a month now, and had me booked for the entire month of March doing IEMs, just got completely canceled. Major bummer as I declined other work to do this tour. It will be doubtful that I can fill up my month with another tour(s) so quickly. January until April is a very slow time of year for concerts and events.
So, while I WAS looking to buy an amp in the next month or so, I now have to push back my purchase into the spring/early summer when other tours will be booked. I can't justify, today anyways, buying the amp with no tour booked.
In the meantime, I am still keenly interested in finding an amp that would work for my needs. So far the SR-71A and the Lisa III have intrigued me the most, although that is not necessarily a final list. I am open to all advice.
If it would be possible for me to audition either amp, please let me know. I am being upfront about my temporary budget hold so I don't take a sale away from a customer who also wants an audition and is ready to pay.
And Headphone Addict, 99% of the time when doing IEMs I run off a wireless beltpack on the same frequency as the star. The console is rarely used as I can't monitor the wireless transmission and know if the star is having reception problems. I also am very unfamiliar with the Pico amp by Headamp... how many people have had a chance to try it out?
Thanks again, Head-fiers.
