[Stjerna]

I'm interested in the Liquid Spark. What a gorgeous little amp. I think it will be a great addition to my QP1R and LCD-X. 
​Is the the output still 350mW at 50ohms as I read before somewhere?
​I live in Sweden and there is no Cavalli dealer here as I'm aware of. Can I preorder it from a US dealer like The Source AV?
And how long will it be available on preorder at $500?
 
Thank you!

....

All the amps above the Liquid Carbon had a "loop out" port.  It's not a preamp out, it's just passing the raw signal along, but it lets you chain the source to another amp or powered speakers.  I know the latest Liquid Tungsten prototype has this as well.  I wouldn't be surprised if the two new prototypes get this before they're finalized...

FYI - The Liquid Gold does not have a loop out, just to make sure there is no one that was counting on it.

We'll have more to say about the spark very soon.
 
As for the small board with green wires mentioned above somewhere, it is actually  the heater regulator. I didn't like the original regulator so I hacked this one on right before the show. It is now part of the next rev board. 

 
The phase splitter is under the two beige relays at the back right of the board near the RCA inputs.

Tried the Spark several times with my QP1R and Ether-C's and it is fantastic together. Can't wait to get one for myself.

We are excited for the Spark as well! Still running the pre order price of $500 on our website, or by calling in to MTME.

Oh yeah, that's right.  I keep forgetting that's not a balanced loop out but a second input.

Can I have the Liquid Spark's dementions please? I'm trying to see how the Liquid Spark stacks with a Hugo 2. I need a DAC to go between the Liquid Spark and my cell.

Also, what do the red and green lights mean on the Liquid Spark?

How much is this amp?

It depends on which amp you're referring to. If you mean the Liquid Spark it's a $500 pre-order however the price goes up as soon as the pre-order is available through Cavalli Audio. Right now. You can pre-order through The Source AV or Music To My Ear.

 

[BunnyNamedCraig]

*Both the Source AV and Music To My Ear are doing pre order at $500 for a very limited time for the Liquid Spark. After that time period the price will go up like Stillhart's range he gave.

 

[TSAVJason]

Sorry, I just saw this. Yes there is no distributor in your territory so you can pre-order from The Source AV or Music To My Ear.

 

[VandyMan]

Can you please post a link for the pre-order?

 

[BunnyNamedCraig]

This is our pre order page for the Cavalli Liquid Spark. We are doing $250 down to reserve your spot, and then $250 when it is going to ship.

*edit: pre order ends MAY 1st!
