Audio GD C2C

It has been quite a while since I had the GLite for review, but based on that, I would say the C-2-C is an upgrade, yes.

Kingwa said that the "Compass HP amp has 50-60% of C2C upgrade version, if the source is enough good", so based on what he said previously that Compass is 80% of the C2C standard version, the new volume pot for C2C improves it by about 33%. Pretty nice jump!.

Any C2C user planning to upgrade their volume pot? I wonder how much it really improves the C2C.

If you go Compass -> Gilmore Light, do you notice much of an improvement? With the C2C, its better ability to drive my HD-600's resulted in a wider soundstage and clearer image of the musicians.

Ditto for the volume pot, with the included glue...

I just picked one of these up - my current stable of headphone amps is going to the for sale forum this weekend. no contest at all. I am just going to run with one major rig.

At the end of the day Tube/opamps/tube preamps turned out to just be annoying and expensive. I really like my MHDT DAC, but im done with my current set of <$500 amps and the C2C wins big time.

The pot arrived today among other things...I have to get some clarification on the L/R I/O + gnd tabs before I begin with the transplant.

Not yet..the wife took the camera for the week but I should have it back Sat evening. I also have the tabs worked out so Sunday I will begin with transplant and take pics along the way....stay tuned. I should have it ready to post by following Monday or Tuesday of next week if everything goes smoothly (which it will I'm thinking).

Peete.

Thanks for the update Peete. The c-2c continues to shine.
