Think maybe crossed wires ..I know the amp is not balanced as I owned it ..was wondering if the angel is basic the amp balanced?TR amp balanced ? No, chinch in or USB (and any digital signal is singleended only)
@carboncopy : My GS3000e has a balanced cable and I prefer it on my big system with Paltauf ESD and DAC.

I will check it out when I get my RA1...the best match so far for the RA1 is the GS3000e to my ears

Yes...it is more fitting to the GS3000e (in theory). I currently have on the amplification side a Trafomatic Head 2 as a preamp before an Enleum 23R. It is on level with the RA1 (!!), not better, bit different but on level (with the GS3000e). The big difference is, that the Trafomatic + Enleum combo drives every headphone wonderfully. Every one. Plus the Enleum has a remote controll.TR amp balanced ? No, chinch in or USB (and any digital signal is singleended only)
@carboncopy : My GS3000e has a balanced cable and I prefer it on my big system with Paltauf ESD and DAC.
But the Enleum without a preamp is too soft and round for me, would cleary prefer the RA-1 with the GS3000e over it.
The thing is, I learned about 10 years (maybe 15) back with my ears to listen and not with my eyes (or my conceptions).
It is of course just my personal experience.
Hope Grado start to make HP amps again

For flexibility, a 2.5 mm or 4.4 mm would fit directly into many more devices and there are XLR adapters for bothThanks for sharing. I'm curious now.
Wonder whether it would make sense to terminate to a balanced 3.5mm jack?
Would that mean it could be used both balanced (e.g. with a 3.5mm to 4.4 / XLR adapter), or single ended if the amp lacks balanced output?
Feeding my Grado with MQA. Sounds good..

This RA-1 / RS-1x duet is transcendent, makes me wonder: why the other gear?…music listening could be…(the inner dialogue continues…fun with music…fun with gear…)
Is it the 9v battery RA-1?
Tried Tidal MQA yesterday. It sounds good, but the std quality/cd-quality also sounds good.
Not sure if MQA are better! So I canceled my MQA. Subscription

It is the 9v battery (it takes two). I cannot get over the absence of ‘electrical / electronic’ haze!Is it the 9v battery RA-1?

Hmmm...what's interesting is, that both the GS3000e and the RS1x has a 50mm driver. Which was not developed at the time of this amplifier.It is the 9v battery (it takes two). I cannot get over the absence of ‘electrical / electronic’ haze!
And glad that you like it too
