Excuse me amp reviewers- have you guys been listening to the amp at various stages of the burn in process? I would be quite interested in reading a quick description of the changes you heard over the burn in period. Happy listening folks.

 

[screamb]

i've got a question.
which sounds better? the Predator or the SR-71A?

 

[jamato8]

With first few hours, very nice after 10 or 15 hours the sound got a little bright with a slight grain and the staging was somewhat flat. At around 35 hours or so the amp opened up and became much more transparent with a very nice high frequency extension and a tight defined bass. From 35 on the amp has continued to refine with no real ups or down just a continued upward trend in sound quality. I am near 100 hours now.

jamato, so how does your SR-71A sound compared to a fully burned-in Predator?

 

[Anouk]

Hello,
I also wonder what good batteries for this amp would be? Would be nice if the amp came included with lithium-ion batteries and a charging circuit (or at least if the batteries were an optional choice when buying). I havent found any lithium-ion 9 volt batteries yet here in nl webstores... And I think a recharging circuit is VERY handy for a portable unit (not sure how easy it is to remove the battery cover though).
I also wonder if anyone can compare this amp to the portable rudistor, but I suppose not...
Anyone know where I can buy those rechargable lithiom ion 500mah batteries?
Greetings, Anouk,

You can buy 9V lithium rechargable battery from Thomas Distributing.
But sorry, I don't know whether this battery fit to SR-71A.

It fits fine. They all fit but the Yellow battery on the site sticks out some but the back will fit on leaving a little gap that I could care less about. That is the 260mA batter from Thomas. I got the 500 lithium rechargeables and they fit flush. I have just started listening with the 260mA. I also got the low dissipation batteries and though they are only 200mA I really like the low dis batteries.

Jam,

Where did you find low discharge 9v batteries? I order all the time from Thomas Distributing but have never seen them on their site.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

 

[jamato8]

Yes, that is the low dissipation or discharge batteries. They are only 200mA but I like the eneloop so I thought I would give them a try. The are on the page with low discharge batteries. Tysonic is the brand.

both your Diablo look sexy too

i'll be happy to add it to my collection of exotic amps

the photo do not do justice to the amp... the colour is more greenish. Like the grey Toyota Cammy we saw on road.

 

[wolfen68]

Looking forward to tonight as the real comparisons with my old SR71 will begin (as I'll have finally hit 175 total hours of burn-in).

 

[GTL]

any one can post pic of an iqube and SR 71A?

 

[Nuwidol]

The grey does appear to be green. I'm glad I was impatient & ordered the black one now...
