Nothing should cost that much for a dynamic or plannar amps. Sorry to say that.

Could sworn I’ve heard it was around $4500 in the CanJam thread.

Price isn't finalized. I've heard around 4. Hoping this amp performs well for that price.

My remark was about Mass Kubo amps. Headamp’s current and previous offerings have always been a class leading in-term of performance, craftsmanship, design, and build quality. The asking price has always been fair considering the craftsmanship.

Can you explain the (2) feedback mode?

 

[Makiah S]

Have you determined the final price?

@justin w. We’re aiming for around ~$4,000 for the standard model, and then ~$5,000 for the deluxe right?

and all inquiring minds want to know the differences will be between the standard and deluxe models.

At minimum the deluxe edition has the motorized 47 step attenuator w/ remote, Dual mono golden reference voltage regulators, making it semi dual mono & Upgraded main psu caps, could wind up being more

the standard edition has no motor or remote

I wonder wether there are any plans for headamp tube amps for non electrostats in the future

Is there really that much demand for a remote? The amp is likely only 1 to 6 feet from where the person is.

 

[purk]

It may come with a preamp function which is a great feature to have in a 2 channel setup?

that's what I thought, but I find myself using the remote all the time

Based on what Justin has said, it won't have a preamp function due to the high power

I think the gain would be too high for preamp function - CFA requires a minimum gain of 3x (I think) and may be too high for typical power amp gain (which is around 30dB).

A remote volume control is what has me considering upgrading from my GSX-mkII. Not everyone is within arms reach of their headphone amp.

I could see the downside if it was part of the standard model's feature set as many wouldn't need/use it so wouldn't want to pay for it.

 

[chesebert]

I would just make it one version. How many people will buy a $4k+ solid state headphone amp these days - 50? 100?
