One to one charge time? Woo, that sucks. That is a crazy long time. But aren't the 9 volt batteries easily taken out? You could use an outboard charger. I wonder how long the XP takes to charge. I guess this is getting off track though.

The Lisa looks like a "portable" PPAv2.

Hey guys, those of you that has been burning the 71A a week ago, anymore thoughts on the 71A as compare to the Predator? I am waiting more reviews and feedback before I put down my money. Are they similar, are they different enough to warrant the possession of both? Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

 

[jamato8]

I find the 71A to be a little more open and transparent. The Predator is slightly warmer and closer to the performance. They are different and to me do not sound like the same amp but a slightly different tweak. They are different and both very enjoyable. The Predator can power many phones and is a great size. The 71A is larger of course but with a different perspective on the music. They both have good bass response and drive.

To my ears the Tysonic low discharge rechargeable battery is a must to get the most out of the sound with the 71A.

Well since the 650's are a more at home or office headphone I would go with the SR-71A unless you need a dac in an amp. I have not heard the Pico. I do enjoy the sound of the 71A with the HD 650's.

Guys, I received a PM from another head-fier who has a bit over 460 hours of burn in on his SR71A. He informs me that the amp is tighter and the highs are more extended than earlier. My SR71A at 375+ hours of burn in although had a tight bass w/ very wide soundstage, however it was shy in the treble. Upon my return from vacation I will burn it in for 125 hours and see if the treble develops. Will post here.

Jamato8 how many hours of burn in on your SR71A?

I haven't kept close track of it. With the batteries I am constantly mentioning :^) the Tysonic low discharge the bass and highs are very, very good and clean. I just want to enjoy the music and with this and a couple of other portables I really do. Sure my home amp has a few more things, like an even larger sound stage but you know the 71A is musical and open. Sometimes I enjoy just using it at home more than going through my 6. I guess whatever suits the mood.

I am so confused about this amp, is it the one on the buy page of his site listed as SR-71 for 395?

No, it is the SR-71A. The 71 is no longer made and hasn't been for over 9 months or so. The 71A has a few changes and is somewhat smaller but has the same chips. There is a link on the RSA site for the SR-71A.

Here is the link:

have you guys found any iem/headphones pair good with the amp? to me, triple fi isn't the best. se210 and k81 sounds kind of bad and i love it with super fi eb. i don't know where my er4s is though. i'll try hfi-550 and super fi pro later.

 

[TaZ82]

I paired it with the atrios. Soundstage is pretty good with hard hitting bass.

If I am listening to jazz or vocals, triple fi is the one I will use.
Atrios for pop, hip hop, etc
