This is not surprising.
 
Headphones are usually a little more resolving than speakers in the same price range and even better than some speakers costing twice what your headphone rig costs in detail retrieval. THis is because of the proximity of the driver to your ears and for the lack of any crossover between the amp and the driver giving you excellent phase coherency. The LF is also the most neutral sounding amp I have heard on the dynamic end and is very resolving in itself. Paired with the right source and transducer it will faithfully reproduce whatever is fed in. Nothing more, nothing less. 
 
At least this has been my experience.

I'd love to see a Cavalli low powered speaker amp come along.

lols..funny you mention this..i have been after him for this for quite a while now.
 
The LF would be a fantastic power amp. Just would need a beefy power supply and redeisgn of the amp sections to parallel output devices on massive off board heatsinks. A 100 watt (into 8 ohms) class A LF would be quite something.
 
I wouldn't hold my breath though on this....He seems to be rather busy with the production of the LF and LL.
 
There is the Moskido if you want to try out a hybrid Class A power amp which is a Broskie design. Check out the thread on diyaudio.com

The original EHHA makes a wonderful power amp. It also drive the HE-6 and K1000's very well.

Gentlemen, there has been some conversation about the current LF production run and a few queries.
 
I think I am allowed to simply offer brief status on this since some of you will be buyers on this run.
 
At this point the run is pretty much on schedule with deliveries beginning at the end of Feb. Amps will be delivered in the order in which the signups/orders were received, including the the orders from the dealers (who I appreciate more and more every day).

 
The amps are burnt in and tested in groups of 10 and then are shipped in groups of 10 to the various new owners. It takes a few days on the bench to accumlate a full 50 hours of burn in and to find infant mortality in the tubes and to ensure that the output bias is settled. So there will be several waves of shipment.
 
Also (and I'm not sure this is allowed as MOT), there will be extra amps in this run which will be available beyond the fulfilment of the orders. In case any of you guys want two or three of them.

The Wuss could be the first one to bridge two Liquid Fire amps together and create two Liquid Fire Mono Blocks...

Well ****. I sure hope my LF is here by the March 10th meet. Either way I'll see you there, Alex.

There you go!  Someone's go to be the first, blaze the trail and become a legend...

 
 
The Mono Blocks...


Maybe the Mono Blocks could be named after the first to demand they be made and sold to him!
 
TheWuss or Icenine2 Edition Mono Blocks.
