Steven Rochlin has reviewed the SR-71 at Enjoy the Music. The review can be read here:

http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazin...mmlinesr71.htm


Reading the review I think there may be a typo or possible misunderstanding of how the batteries work. The batteries work in tandem both supplying power to both channels at the same time. A minor point.

All in all a solid review of an amp that I and many others here have enjoyed.

Interesting review...seems like everything I already knew, but could never have explained in words exactly. Thanks for the link to the article...

To quote the reviewer's opening sentence:

"Headphone amplification has been experiencing resurgence over the past few years."

This makes 4 headphone amplifiers getting reviews just to start of this new year. Makes you wonder what will be coming next. We know PS Audio is getting set to release one and who will follow?

Wow, this hobby has really gone mainstream. I guess we can thank HeadFi for increasing the visibility of this "Sorry about your Wallet" hobby.

Thanks for the link john_jcb. Good read. Nice to see others using the Senns with it, as I think they're a good match. Anyone else try battery rolling???

What's up with those colors in the title photo though?

Nice to see these amps getting good press. I think one major reason that headphones have become popular is that we have a forum where young people and newbs feel comfortable learning and asking questions, unlike the elitist attitude you find in many Hi-Fi stores.

John, Doug, AA, and Blessingx,

Many thanks everyone and glad you enjoyed the review. i reopened the unit and looked at the power traces and yes, seems to be a combined power supply (not 'true' dual mono). Changed the review slightly accordingly and MANY THANKS for the heads(phone) up. Since January is indeed a 'headphones on focus' month we do indeed have many reviews

Blessingx, not sure what you mean about the colors... maybe i am suffering some flashbacks from the Big 80's

As always...

Again great review.

The color thing was nothing really, I was just having some fun commenting on the title photo, enjoythemusic. For a second I thought maybe there was a blue imprint option for the amp.

(Continuing the good humor) Yes, the Aston-Martin blue imprint version has a cooler sound and very refined and impressive 'all around.' The Mercedes silver imprint version will be refined, if a bit slow and heavy yet with AMAZING drive/push capability for demanding headphones. Word on the street is a Ferrari red version will be available soon and will be the fastest, most nimble, and have the world's best rise time on very variably dynamic music.

i think they plan on a new version called the Buggatti 16 or some such that will be the most powerful in the world, but this has been more of a 'show no go' thing that may never become a reality. Perhaps more hype than reality.

NOTE: the above is PURE humor and the car guys will fully understand

PS: cheap thirills will be found in the Lotus Green version. Very impressive for lowish $$$.

Completely agreed. Great review!

Just one small comment. Remove the typos. (Sr-71, SR-7, that kind of thing.) I know it's just nitpicking but it looks a bit unprofessional. And a review like this one should be perfect. Also, you say the volume knob is on the left when it's clearly on the right in the picture above it.

Maybe he's dyslexic...

Lisa,

A most humble thanks for the constructive criticisms. Am uploading the corrections. My apologies for the lack of apparent editing as January means TWO magazines to get out, getting ready for the upcoming two Vegas shows, etc. Still... i SHOULD HAVE been better at CAREFULLY editing it.

Have a feeling the REAL problem is when editing **my own articles** i KNOW what is meant and my brain appears to 'read into' things more than if i was editing someone else's review

Again, many thanks and am uploading the correction right now AND truly do appreciate your assistance. ALL help is ALWAYS appreciated.


PS: archosman, actually i do have a touch of dyslexia it seems (seriosuly), yet appear to get by somehow. "i mean take the OTHER left turn"

I'm slighlty dyslexic too. Maybe that's why I pay more attention to it. And I agree it is more difficult to see your own spelling errors.

I have a problem when I type with the letters "b" & "p". They're not close to each other on the keyboard but inevitably I'll mis-type one letter for the other...
