Can you at least post the little bit that you told me in a PM, or let me post it?

Ok...

The IC that you see in the pic is not an opamp, so DO NOT ever try swapping it with an 8-pin DIP opamp of any kind, or else you can expect to fry things. This chip has a totally different pin-out / parameters and is configured differently. It is actually not even in production anymore - it is a nos part and is becoming a PITA to find now.

Best regards,

Vinnie

Whelp, just placed my order for a standard Amphora in Padauk.

Can't wait to receive mine.

It seems the Amphora is a bonafied audiophile bargain, what with the fact that it uses the RWA headphone stage, a headphone stage that has been reported to go toe to toe with some of the best amps in the business.

Hopefully such reports will prove true.

I won't call it a bargain. But Amphora packs the renowned RWA headphone stage, a Goldpoint Stepped Attenuator, good functionality ( dual input, off-the grid design) plus beautiful art work into one fine product is definitely good value.

Will you ever offer a service to upgrade the wires in the standard Amphora?

Seems like thread has not been updated for 14 years.
Has anyone compared recent / new HP amps with the Amphoras to see if its relevant even today with a lot many new Planar / DD HPs.
I wish to acquire one, if it comes on sale
