Does anyone have this amp?

[kramer5150]

Good? bad? Hows the customer support?
How about the circuit design?...good / bad?

I might try one out, with the optional input caps.
All comments welcome.
thanks,

That is just about the neatest layout for a cmoy I've ever seen.

Are you on a quest to own every single sub-$100 portable amp available?

i have been on the quest to find a ~100 dollar amp for the last week. it was down to this amp, go-vibe, pa2v2, or the twinstarr black.

i ordered one of these despite the lack of info available. it seems to have a similar design to the twinstarr amp. i did want a dc jack, so that made this one even more appealing.

i should have mine sometime this week. it looks like a good design built w/ high quality parts

I would be interested in your thoughts as well. I am looking for something better than my RA-1 clone and my X-Cans is not very portable for HD-600's. Doees look like a very neatly laid out design.

Just ordered one with DC jack and audiophile quality WIMA 1.0uf box capacitors.
Will let you know how it sounds. This will do nicely until the Hornet is available!

i ordered the same combo.

i don't have any portables here to compare it to, and hopefully i won't feel the need to purchase any more, so once you get the hornet, you'll have to let everyone know how it compares.

i like how the dude lists the parts/numbers that he used. it makes me confident to but from people w/ nothing to hide about their products.

Figure he's basicly getting paid for his skills as a builder. Nothing wrong with that. Look at the Grado RA-1. It has like a $12 OPA and they get a nice chunk of change for one of those.

A replacement opamp for the RA1 will cost you about a quarter but you got a good point.

 

[Nandro]

Yep. $.25 and $11 shipping and handeling...LOL

You bet. I have a good feeling about this investment. Good feedback and communication so far with the guy. Only problem he wasn't much help with the DC adapter. Any clues on where I can obtain one?

Love the layout!

Probably Rat Shack.
