I also am not ready to go gilmore-less, so rather then recouping money from my latest spending spree I'm spending cash I don't have on a second head-rig exclusivly for my computer. (not that my 15 foot carda didn't reach before)

Originally posted by Gopher I was speaking to Justin recently, and he expressed some things to me which should probably be clarified about the upcomming amp. There seems to be a misconception that by definition a wall-wart is an inferior power supply. In fact, the wall-wart he will be using is no different than an internal regulated power supply you might find in most home amplifiers. It contains a transformer, rectifier diodes, a pair of +/-15V voltage regulators, and four large electrolytic capacitors. And As an added bonus, the units are very reliable and meet many EMI and safety requirements.

Ah, I see. Sorry, as I stated I am no expert here by any means. I'm sure you are very right. However it does sound as though the power supply caps might be smaller, but not sure though.

Is there any difference in power "output" between the lite and the v2? Or is the power supply just better "quality" in the v2?

Why I heard so less about this amp until now? It has been out for a while and the price is affordable for someone who will consider PPA or Perraux SHA-1. V2 costs about twice as much and is still very popular. If the Lite does have the same circuit as V2, It should be much more popular here. I don't even see any review yet.

How do you who have the Lite feel that it compares to the Corda HA-1?

I'm considering the HeadRoom Little (not so much though, as I've heard it sounds a bit grainy), HeadAmp Lite and Corda HA-1.

So far, I think the HA-1 seems the best, as it has a seemingly good upgrade path (Corda Blue mods).

Thanks all. Great thread.

i got my gilmore lite today. first impressions were amazing. very very clear especially once i popped in a few sacds.

i must mention that i don't have any other amps and have never used a dedicated headphone amp so i can't really make a direct comparison.

i've had about 2 hours of play with it tonight and hope to be able to spend quite a bit of tomorrow with it as well.

It looks as though I'm not the only in the market for a Gilmore Lite..

Anyways, I wasn't sure about it for a while, but I think I'll be ordering mine within a month or two, after I can find sufficient funds.

Anyways, I love the new look, and anyone/everyone who's recieved theirs, please post your opinions!

I would love to hear more impressions of the Gilmore Lite as well. Especially with etymotics.

Will the Lite run off the 240V UK power, or is it just US 110V?

I would contact the guy at Headamp.com he may be able to help. Since the PS is external he may be able to recommend an alternative to the Elpac.

PS - You brits just have to do everything different eh?

That is what makes us so special

It seems the images of the Lite on the front page have been switched again, back to the originals.. I'm confused! I liked the 'newer' look better, but I suppose it doesn't much matter.

I'm sure it was accidental...the original pics are of the prototype model so I wouldn't worry.

And on an off-topic note, El Cielo is amazing

Ok what was different about the "newer" look.
