North Andover? Near Phillips Academy?

Question Time:

Do most CanAmp owners here connect directly to source, or do some of you hook-up via the pre-out or tape loop of your preamp or integrated?

And if the latter, have you noticed any difference in SQ?

Thanks!

 

[dw6928]

I don't know if this is the appropriate answer to your question
Dex:
from my X-fi soundcard to Headroom Microdac to Heed.

Source > Heed > Integrated (speakers).

"I've heard some nice news from Bob and that's that He's picking up a
partial batch of CanAmps within a day or two. This means in another
couple of days I'll have them to send out. The bad news is that while
not all of the December order was filled on this partial shipment, most
did make it. I've been informed that I'll be getting them all

Welcome news indeed! Once the bottleneck clears up, perhaps folks won't be as hesitant to order this superb amp.

Tell me Dex, what is so special about this Heed?

 

[George Chronis]

Can someone shed some light as into how the Heed compares to the GS-1?

I've been informed that I'll be getting them all I'll fill the orders by invoice number, as they were written up. First in, first out. Good news still, is that we have been informed that they are on-track and will fill orders every couple of weeks. I'll keep you all up to date with this new news. This means that as the orders begin to trickle in, not only will I be able to take care of the bulk of the December orders from this first group, but from the following batch we'll take care of the rest of the December group and begin to fill the next batch - which is HUGE. By Next batch, I mean the group that was to have been February, then March, then... well, you know what I mean. A little more patience and we'll all be caught up. Did I dare to just say that? Humm... color me optimistic. I'm sure you'll agree that this is great news to hear that our friends at Heed Audio have managed to work out getting the supply of 110 power supplies and are busy working to get them caught up. Well, that's it for now. Thanks so much for waiting so long. Tracking numbers (where applicable) will follow in the days to come so keep and eye open so you'll know your order is on the way.

The Heed sounds great.. I just hate waiting.. & do you charge the CC before you ship the heed amp.. Cause being 400.00 less plus waiting 2-3 months would really suck..

Dan charges $72 to put an order in and the rest when it ships. I've read in here that someone actually got his deposit back because he did not want to wait any longer.

i have a headamp gilmore v2-se (upgraded w/ blackgates, silver wire, and a stepped attenuator) which is essentially the gs-1 circuit. when i compared them side by side the headamp sounded more open and refined than the heed (as well it should given the cost differential) so i opted not to buy the heed. the can amp is a nice amp and it's not super expensive, but it's not the be all, end all amp. there are better products out there, and some of them cost a lot more too! that said, let me reiterate (before the can amp fanatics flame me

) the can amp is a nice amp and a good value.

Ok, thanks a lot Dave and sorry about all the flaming you are about to get. I just wanted to get an idea of how far the Heed goes. I understand it's much less expensive than the GS-1.
