That's an excellent question, vf. Don't know if there's an easy answer, but if anyone can help it would be much appreciated!

And congrats on the CanAmp!

got my Nichicon "Muse" Fine Gold 10uF/100v caps today and dropped them in. While there I took some under-board shots of my polyprops in place as well as the HAWT pad liftage at the front of the board

Zsolt, Alpar and the rest of the Heed designers will probably never forgive me for butchering their amp like this, but the sound is sooooooo worth it

I can't believe you guys! A brand new amp, and you've got the guts to mod it like that.

Clearly Heed should take note that there's a market for an "SE" version with high quality maxed out caps.

 

[d-cee]

i've gone a bit mod crazy lately

clearly i need to be locked up

I've still got to wait over 3 weeks for my CanAmp to arrive to join the thread but at least it gives me a bit of time for all the others parts to arrive.

where did you all order your Canamp? What's the current price for it?

many in the US have been getting them from Dan @ http://www.blackbirdaudio.com/ however, if like me there are no re-sellers/distributors for your country (http://www.heedaudio.hu/en/distr.html for list) you can order it directly from Heed - http://www.heedaudio.hu/en/contact.html (email Alpar and he will take care of you)

=) I'd sent an e-mail to Dan and Alpar. May i know how long is the waiting list, currently?

i placed a deposit on mine on Feb 13, and we're hoping (Dan @ Black Bird, etc) it will arrive by 1st week of April.

so yeah.... expect anywhere from 1 - 2 months.
apparently they're trying to ramp up production to accommodate the spike in demand, so hopefully the wait times will gradually decrease.

personally, i hate everyone who recommended this damn amp to me, but it doesn't change my mind

edit: let us know what he says, if you decide to waitlist for one too. i'm curious if the projected time has shrunk at all.

 

[yrh0413]

Dan and Alpar replied my e-mail. Dan even forwarded my e-mail to Alpar as he strongly suggest i get it directly from Heed instead. In Alpar's reply, he mention that the lead time is 2 weeks. @.@"

Gonna place my order really soon, i just can't wait for to get it!

Added: By the way may i know how much are you guys paying for the CanAmp? I was quoted EUR 255 + 60 for shipping. Still negotiating with alpar for possible discounts.

I'm delighted to hear that Alpar was able to respond to your inquiry so quickly. As I've been telling everyone, they are great folks over there at Heed Audio.
Obviously, it appears that 220V models are right now, a little more readily available. We've been waiting for months for the 110V models and this would have delayed your order for no good reason. This is why I forwarded your note to Alpar and encouraged you to deal with them directly since they do not have distribution in your country. In my eyes, this was the best level of service I could offer to you.
As for pricing, there are too many factors when looking at pricing differences from country to country, such as exchange rates and different taxes that get put on goods brought in from around the world and each country has its own ideas on that. Shipping costs impact the bottom line as well. Regardless of who has paid what for their CanAmp, I'm betting that many would have been willing to pay a little more if it meant they would not have to wait. Two weeks waiting for an order is a bargain for this amp at any price.

(IMO).

 

[yrh0413]

Haha, i'm still waiting for his reply though. Thank you for forwarding my e-mail to them. I'm ok with the EUR 315 price tag, just hoping to get a little discount from Alpar; hopefully.

Anyway i guess i'll make my payment real soon, maybe within this week or so.

Hi Han,

The CanAmp has a retail list price of 350 EUR here in Europe, so Alpar's offer of 315 EUR, including shipping seems very nicely discounted to me!

 

[yrh0413]

Wow, i didn't know the retail price (after factoring in the VAT) will be so expensive. Man i feel bad for sending an e-mail to Alpar for further discounts

Hmmm.. First Heed to show up on the For Sale forums...

We need more of those
