I do not think I have ever been more excited for anything audio related than this in my life!

I am done using battery powered amps, it is dead end road for even acceptable audio quality. for people on the go, Ipod + good pair of earphone is the way to do it, just me.

I listened to the 71a at the Chicago meet yesterday with Ray's HD600's and R10's and my own D2k's, using Ray's iPod Classic and my own 3rd gen nano. All I can say is I want one of these for my own ultimate portable amp. As for the release date, I don't really know for sure, just that it should not be too much longer, as Ray is working on the custom extruded aluminum case. Trust me there is a lot of work goes into one of these portable amps Ray makes.

I couldn't take the wait any longer so I mailed Ray myself.

This is what he said:

We are working on it as fast as we can. Keep an eye on my web site & on head-fi.org, This way you will get a chance to get one of the 500 units.

Cheers.

Ray Samuels



500 units is a shed load so I don't think anyone is going to miss out.

That wasn't my experience with at least Senns and Grados (admittedly mid forward leaning phones). Did you feel that way with the similar sounding HR2 also? There was a time several years ago (course much as changed in market since then) when I thought the SR71 was one of the best sub-$600 amps out there, home or portable. Yes, I preferred it to the stock XP7 too.

I still want one. Kept in contact with Ray to have an idea when they are coming out.
