My FA-10 arrived. Took about 3 weeks.

Ha! A mounted Hugo 2! Nice one. With the FA-10, kind of makes the 887 redundant?

 

[Infoseeker]

Yeah, for now the 887 is just for A/B until I put it to retirement.

My 887 did not last long once Flux FA-10 came in...no competition - best case use for 887 was LCD-2.1..great synergy due to a nudge more brightness in 887 lifting that rolled treble...it really was a perfect lift for 2.1s but i'm fully over to LCD-XC now so 2.1 on backburner.

Oh man, this is why sharing pics is so interesting. That is the LAST color I would have chosen, but now seeing it in context I think it looks so freakin cool.
I definitely have too many grey and black boxes....

I can think of one unexpected scenario. The 887 compression actually makes the Seinhesser HD800S have a less faraway sound and becomes forward sounding comparable to other openbacks headphones.

Lol

Also, I agree it does well with headsets and iems that skirt close to having nuetral or less keep all the treble in their presentation. (Where other chains would make them lose more treble and sound off)

Interesting, that would mean that you placed order after mine for the FA-12S (March 4th), I guess they would be prioritising the higher value product. I'm hoping to get a dispatch notification this week hopefully!

Also, I have the same face panel and knob combo. Does look nice in the photo

Just checked my email history. It seems I did the order in March 2nd.

Oh and another thing I noticed is I have a red pcb despite this being the non-pro model.
(I remember wondering about Zeos having a different model with his red pcb in his review, but it seems the non-pro can be red too)

Is there a way to verify that you did in fact receive an FA-10? Looking at the images on the website I'm not seeing any super obvious pcb differences other than the color

 

[adityadubey]

Yay! That just built up some more anticipation for me lol How’s the build quality? It looks solid in the photos

 

[Infoseeker]

Build quality seems very good. Nothing is rattling and the weight distribution is pretty balanced and doesn't tilt in a specific direction. All legs are level. Front knob turns very smooth and doesn't wiggle.

you can check this by going rca in and xlr out. If this works, its a FA10 if it doesn't it's a FA12

 

[adityadubey]

That's a good point, FA-10 and FA-12S which are both not balanced should be able to play RCA inputs out of the XLR (and vice versa), but for the FA-12 which is balanced you can only do RCA to single ended or xlr to xlr

Right I was actually curious about determining if it's an FA-10 or FA-10 pro

His is a FA-10

Flux Labs has been using the red PCBs on all their FA amps as of late

And if you look closely at his photo you can see it has the same mosfet/transistor layout as shown below. That layout is unique to the FA-10 series
