@bamboo5354:
They let you open to take pics?

Power supply looks very nice.
There are design choice changes I see there.

Thank you everyone who signed up! We'll be sending out the amps this weekend, so please make sure you've sent me your shipping information.
 
@The Fed, We are almost ready with the specs page which will include all the information you're looking for. In answer to your questions: we were focused on purity on this first version so there are no RCA outputs in the back, though there are a pair of 3-pin XLR inputs.
 
Here are some numbers:
 

Frequency Response:​	20 Hz - 20 kHz +- 0.05 dB 1 Hz - 101 kHz +- 0.2 dB
THD+N @ 1kHz:​	<0.0015%
Dynamic Range:​	≥ 130 dB, 20 Hz-20 kHz A-weighted
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) @ 1kHz:​	≥ 132 dB A-weighted
Crosstalk:​	<  -80 dB 20 Hz-20 kHz
Gain​	12.5 (22db)
Output Power:​	5W at 32 Ohm

Thanks for following up guys.
It's not everyday a new company is born so I'm naturally curious about your rig.
 
Specs are outstanding BTW and I get not adding preamp. 95% of people wouldn't use it like that anyway. I was just curious.

I did some more listening today, this time using my ECBA as preamp and the result is impressive. Compared to just listening through the ECBA the sound is fuller and more musical, just amazing!

Thank you to everyone who signed up! We're still working out some logistics for the Europe tour, but the US amps will be sent out by tomorrow! The first post has been updated with the member lists for each amp. Let me know if I've missed anyone.
 
I will provide the shipping information of the next recipient via PM. Please post in this thread when you have received the amp and again when you have sent it out, and also PM me and the next member with tracking numbers.
 
I hope you all enjoy Heron 5!
