That is to say that it was my gear so I get the free amp... 8~) Yup, my trusty ole Straightwire and D25 Turbo. Ray's IC was classes above but wanted to use what I was accustomed to. This rig, with either my Sensas or Ray's RS-1, was really amazing. Stoked about the Hornet and cannot wait to get mine.

From Number One: ummm...yup, of course!


There were a few confirmed requests for the Hornet prior to this thread becoming *official*; mine being one of them, but I'll put my name here for the counting.

Good to finally see the "top secret thing" from the detroit meet finally come to fruition.

While I didn't get a chance to hear it myself, I seem to recall some very impressive comparisons between the "mystery amp" and the stealth. TBH I am surprised its being offered in the sub-$300 range!

Enjoy, guys

I may be interested as well. Supposedly the full Emmeline line will be at the SJ Meet so, hopefully, I'll be able to listen to the Hornet and make a decision then.

I apologise in advance if this post is in an inappropriate location. Please let me know if this is so.

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, can I update mine to show that I'd like a black one with gold lettering?

Ray:

Ouch. Stung by the Hornet. I am in, too. (as long as there is still room for one more?)


Others:

I need some moral support here. I got Shure e5c's about a month ago. I listen to my iPod photo with them through a Sik Din. I love the Shures, but having them has only made me wonder if it can get even better than this. Will an amp help noticeably? (I am interested in texture at comfortable listening volumes, not in sheer output.) Reassure me, please! On behalf of my wallet, I beg of you.

(How does that old expression go? "82 head-fi listeners can't be wrong.")

I had the E5s for ~1.5 years an used Ray's XP-7 (which was excellent) and a few other amps. The party line was that it took a higher caliber amp to really make the E5s sing (though I found that a maxed Pimeta did an okay job), so the Hornet should make a very fine addition to your rig. Texture at comfortable volumes; oh, most definitely.
