Oh dang, they're doing SMD caps now!!

Been out of the loop awhile. Has their been any mention of the larger version the GRPS with additional power ports.

Is that still being worked on @HeadAmpTeam ?

Another option is the GS-X Mini. That is the official balanced version of the Gilmore Lite.

The mini should be even better due to slightly better power supply. It has a toroidal PSU if I am not mistaken while the Lite GRPS has a universal module.

Looks like we got a board revision! Going to be harder to swap in those Silmic II caps.

I'm sure these newer caps measure very tightly anyways.

Hmmmh .. looks like oscons.

Never particularly like them except in digital hi-speed and hi-bandwidth application but it had been probably 6 mths since I last listened to my headphone setup ..

Cheers.

They're basically the SMD version of the caps we were already using. They are not polymer caps
Also as it says on the PCB revision was Oct 2019, so not recent

If anyone is interested in the GRPS, I have one for sale that I would sell for 1/2 off. PM me if your interested.

Nice! I've got a Mk2 w/ GRPS on the way, also to be paired with a Bifrost. I like your rack/shelf but would it be possible to neatly stack them on top of the Bifrost?

since the BF2 has a curved top edge at front, I believe the rubber feet of GLMK2 will just fit on top with flat part of the BF2 (haven't confirmed since everything's plugged in and settled) with the volume knob protruding in the front over the BF2

also, since I leave the BF2 on 24/7, I don't plan on stacking anything directly on top of it

Thanks to the team at HeadAmp for curing me of my tube addiction! I've been looking at this amp for a long time and am so glad I finally picked one up.

The clarity and detail this amp provides is fantastic. What surprised me most however was the amount of impact this thing has. The bass is really nice and tight, but man does it slam!

• The Gilmore Lite II + Golden Reference power supply is a fantastic and compact headphone amplifier. Natural reproduction of ambience, tonal balance, has tremendous dynamics, imaging, and soundstage.
• How good do I feel that GL-II+ is? I rotate it with: Linear Tube Audio MZ3, Schiit Lyr 3, Woo Audio WA2, Woo Audio WA6SE !
• GL-II+ matches excellently with all my headphones. For example, with Focal Clear, Gjallarhorn JM Edition, and Grados I am there!

Doing a tremendous job with another wonderful headphone…

What are the advantages of the GRPS vs the stock power supply? Any meaningful difference?
