Craig Uthus of Eddie Current emailed me yesterday with his newest offering, the EC-01, which will make its debut at the So Cal meet and attendees will have the privilege of hearing it first.

Click on pics to enlarge:





The EC-01 is hand wired, point to point, and made from quality components. It’s an all triode, OTL topology that will put 1 watt into 300 ohm headphones. The bandwidth on Senn's is 10 to 200 kHz. The dimensions are 5.75" H, 5.125" W, and 6.5" deep, and weighs about 5.5 pounds. It’s also completely self contained and the back has a two input selector switch.

To say the least, I am eager to take a listen.

it's not much of a looker, if I bought that thing i'd put a paper bag over it, but if she can sing it's all good

Sounds promising. Another Eddie Current. Sigh, head-fi wants me to get a third job.

Can't wait for the meet impressions.

Granted, you probably wouldn’t want to take it out on a date

, but its got it where it counts and that’s all inside this solid built amp. Craig said it's a very musical, good sounding amp with a dead quite background. I wouldn’t advise you to put a bag on it

, but if you did it probably shouldn’t be a problem since the amp doesn’t run hot.

Some meet impressions are in order and will be forthcoming.

Nope, I believe you are thinking about a prototype still in the works.

However with this amp, you just plug the line cord-in and play.
