4T came in yesterday. I'm really impressed with the added treble boost over the 3G model. The power remains pretty similar to past models though, and it can power the K701 and K702 at the same time, but be warned it works best if using headphones of the same impendence.

Actually I'm pretty sure it was only the original Arrow HE and 2G that had 10 ohm output impedance. Because people wanted to use them with IEMs (and issues with the TF10 at the time), Robert changed to ~ 1ohm output impedance from the 3G. Both 4G and 4T should be around 1 ohm.
Hmm, strange.
I also always thought that its OI was 1ohm or less.
My original plan was to buy an Arrow-4 and pair it with my Fostex hpp1 for that very reason....until the Hifi-m8 came along.
Doesnt it have a three settings switch for different OI?
EDIT -seems like that was earlier versions.
I believe that the 4T uses a different and more power demanding opamp (I can't remember which one), hence the lower battery life. The 4T should be more warmer, tube like sounding than the 4G. Otherwise they should both have the same functionality.
So... after doing a lot of research on portable amps... I'm pretty decided on the Headstage Arrow 4G/T
So it looks like the 4G is a bit brighter than the 4T. I'm looking at either one due to power, battery life and size. I'm going to be using it with my ASG-1 (eventually 2s) and M-100s mostly. I've already demoed the 3G with the M-100s and enjoyed it. However for general usage, I'd like the amp to be more neutral and transparent just in case I get different headphones in the future.
I'll probably get the 4T, because it is easier to find/buy. Anyone have experience with them? Or any input on the sound signatures? I mean I can always adjust both in bass and treble, which is one of the focal reasons why I'm considering the Arrow HE.
There is a 4G is on the F/S forum now at 225 plus shipping. Is it worth it? Or should I grab the 4T at full price (and have free shipping iirc)?
