Volot received a Gold Award from Sandu

Does the VOLOT really get that hot? My Old AudioValve RKV3/Solaris was a Nightmare...

Not that much in my opinion, but I'm coming from a tube amp as well (Malvalve Headamp Three). That one was producing much more heat. I was actually surprised on how "cooler" the Volot was in comparison.

The write up Sandu did was next level!

Noticed this today.

"Dear customers, we hasten to inform you that the first batch of amplifiers has been sold, thank you for your trust and appreciation of our work. Due to some delays in the delivery of rare components, preorders for the new batch of amplifiers will be available by mid-August. For device reserve issues, please contact us by e-mail"

Looks like it can be preordered again.

Flux Lab Acoustics Volot Review - A Giant Among Us

I've rarely seen such a dythirambic review !
It seems a bit too good to be objective.
Can't wait for the next reviews.

I wish we could be told straight up what it's current rating is? 2A? 10A? 18A?

I understand what your are saying: but I own a Volot powering a Susvara of a Holo Audio May KTE dac: IMHO his review comments are spot on. The only thing I tend to disagree with is that the higher gain modes sound better with the Susvara: but other than that he really nailed this review IMHO.

have you tried any of the other TOTL solid state amps with the Abyss and if so how does the Volot compare? Niimbus US4, Vio V550/V590, Luxman P750, Wells Headtrip 2, etc..

I can only compare the Volot to my Supernait 2 and separate Hi-Cap DR PSU power amp (€6000,-), which works really well with the Sus. I prefer the Volot and it is way more affordable.

I am also looking forward to reviews where the Volot is compared to these excellent amps you suggested. It is easy to imagine the Volot being bettered by these amps in certain aspects of SQ, but my guess is that the Volot will be regarded to have immense value for a true high-end headphone amplifier.

 

[VerloK]

Has anyone already tested whether single ended orbalanced input sounds better?

AudioValve wrote for its SOLARIS Dual Mono amplifier that Balanced input is not used at all and would therefore be unnecessary because the amplifier runs Dual Mono and is not "balanced"

[Pashmeister]

Sandu mentions that the volot reaches 90-93% of the performance of two Benchmark ahb2 amps in dual mono bridge mode. does anyone know how the Volot compares to just a single Benchmark ahb2?
