[size=medium]HeadAmp Gilmore Lite Amp with Dedicated Power Supply -- Very, Very Limited Edition in Black![/size]

A few weeks ago there was a thread in the Amplification forum expressing interest in a black Gilmore Lite (http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=203335), an amp that until now has only been available in silver. Seven months before that thread was made, I decided I would offer a black Gilmore Lite with the Dedicated Power Supply as a limited edition amp exclusively for Head-Fi members. I thought that thread was perfect timing -- because they are now available!

There are only 15 sets of this amp available only to those on Head-Fi. I will ship up to 5 per week, starting this week, so that all can arrive before the holidays in the U.S. -- I can make no guarantees on how long shipping will take for international orders. The price for this amp with the dedicated power supply is $499 plus $15 for priority shipping within the U.S.

If you're not already familiar with the Gilmore Lite, it is a discrete solid state design that has a few engineering characteristics found in very few headphone amps -- it does not use op-amps or capacitors in the signal path. Without the use of complex op-amps (which can contain hundreds of transistors per channel compared to the Lite's 16), the signal path of the Gilmore Lite is one of the simplest and most pure. The Dedicated Power Supply takes things further and offers cleaner, faster power than the standard (but still good) power adapter. More about the Gilmore Lite can be found on our page here: http://www.headamp.com/home_amps/lite/index.htm

To sweeten the deal even more, if you are a contributing member to Head-Fi, you'll get a 10% ($50) discount on this limited edition amp! Just send an EMail with your Head-Fi user name to justin@headamp.com, or enter it in the "Notes" field if you place your order online.

I've set up an online order page for the black Gilmore Lite with Dedicated Power Supply here: http://www.headamp.com/order/black_lite_dps_order.htm

This will be the only time to find the Gilmore Lite (and the Dedicated Power Supply) in black as a limited edition product. It is available in both 100-120V and 220-240V voltages, and the voltage will be configured based on your shipping country.

Thank You,

DAMN that looks good. I was one of those who asked about it, you told about them but I was too impatient (and you'd just finished building my silver ones). Looks great! Very metal \m/ Esp with the evil red light. I hope a few rockers on here get one.

oh good lord. 'tis the season for awesome new amps. would it be bad if I decided not to give presents to loved ones and simply "donated" those funds to my amp purchases. guess so. tempting, though...
