Dear Justin,

I'd like to order a Pico, amp only, in black; can you tell me how long delivery is now?

Thanks,

Ken Reinhard



FWIW

A question for anyone who owns this amp as well as an M³.

I do most in my listening in a remote work camp. Since I am here a month at a time I figured I would bother bringing my M³ up here. I figured since I just spent so much time building it, why not enjoy it fully. Ok, DIY Monica + M³ + PSU comes up to quite a package to cross the country with not counting the confused look on the security guard's face when I explained him what it was used for.

How does the pico compare, detail wise to the M³. Of course I expect it to not be as refined as that high power amp. But to what extent?

Would the pico have enough power/detail to eventualy power a pair of ATH-W5000 comfortably? I am guessing yes since Justin had L3000 in his first post photos. First hand experience anyone?

Greetings,

That depends. To me, No. Naamanf and I tried his W5000 with my Pico last May and it wasn't as good as his M³ with bass contour knob and PSU. Then again, I thought the W5000 had no bass and they didn't sound good with my Woo WA6 or Dark Voice 336i either.

Usually the Pico is great with my full size headphones, but I just didn't like the W5000 with any amp - even with the bass turned up on the M³ I thought the upper mids were kinda honky and irritating, like the ATH-W11R I had for a week and sold (and like the CD3000).

Justin, I have just emailed you regarding a 'supposed' delivery attempt of my Pico (#655) in England, which failed.

It's head-fi. Even the newcomers fail to use to "SEARCH" function. What more can I say? LOL

I received my Pico this morning in England. My God I love it! Especially good using the usb DAC out of my thinkpad x200.

What a fantastic purchase, worth every penny. Looks beautiful too. I'll put some photos up later on of my setup.

Thankyou Justin. You were very helpful and succinct in your correspondence throughout. Highly recommended!
