Any details on price?

Nope he only gave me cliffs so I didn’t push for details will post the link when it’s up.

Hopefully we’ll get something from Flux by then.

I think Sandu from Soundnews also have volot on hand. He said it in a comment in his SMSL SP400 video.

Any of the FA10/12 owners have experience with ZMF headphones? I have a pair of Verite C and am looking for a SS amp to pair with it.

do yourself a favour and use tubes please !

Yes, tubes: with an impedance of 300 ohms, the VC will match wonderfully with an OTL (output transformer-less) headphone amplifier such as the Bottlehead Crack 1.1. If you must go solid state, the Violectric V280 is a great pick: it has a touch of tube “liquidity”.

But to be honest, class A is not bad with ZMF. I can confirmed this based on tonality based on my knowledge.

Thanks for the reply, I agree I literally just finished up the SB upgrade on my BH crack and yes it does sound lovely on the VC. But I do want to get an upgrade to my current SS amp (thx887s which I don't really like) and hopefully one that's warm and has enough power for most things. For sub 1k the flux labs amps caught my eye....

Any of the fa-12 owners, do you know the output impedance of the amp?

0.1 ohm

I've enjoyed reading all the impressions posted here while i've been away, but having been listening directly out of my Hugo2 for the last 3 weeks and really enjoying it, i was worried i might have fallen out of love with the FA12. I neednt have worried, one night back and not a single thought about going straight back into the h2, the way frequency's flow in and out of one another and the extra texture and shape each note has is just as beguiling as it ever was.

There seems to have been a raft of "album of the year" worthy electronic music coming out over the last few weeks, which has made coming back to 14 days quarantine a little more bearable. The absolute highlight for me being "Articulation " by Rival Consoles (96/24 on Qobuz), short but seriously sweet and sounding stunning on the FA12.

Almost taken my mind off the 2 more weeks of waiting ahead before the FCN10 to arrive



PS. im pretty sure the FLA warranty is non-transferable

So I'm still wrestling with my excitement for the pending Volot release. The general positive feedback and excitement for Flux in 2020 was around the FA-10 (standard) and that you get hifi performance at the MidFi price. I won't step on the other products (FA-12 and FA-10 Pro) but that was my general takeaway.

I had a few contacts that paired the FA-10 with Susvara, HE6SEv2, and 1266 Phi TC that came away happy but still wanted more in terms of resolution, sound stage, and technical performance. Hence I think this is where the Volot will step in with it's fully balanced topology improvements.

I guess my general question is the "fun" or musical sound signature that made the FA-10 a hit is there risk that to achieve the technical improvements does it take a step back in those aspects? It is possible to still maintain the musicality but get the top level details in the mids/treble that both the susvara and 1266 can show off?

Let's just hope it won't take 2 more years to get released. It was supposed to be pretty much ready one year and one half ago.
Yeah, I know some reviewers are supposed to have it, but I don't take for granted it's a final unit.
