Has anyone asked why? I have a hunch making CanAmps is a very low priority for Heed since they're a small company who's concentrating production on new equipment to be released at European trade shows. The CanAmp has been out for several years and only became the FOTM at the end of its product cycle so I suspect it will be very difficult to acquire.

My understanding is that it is quite the opposite. While Heed had been pressing to formally launch their new integrated amplifier, the Obelisk, they were essentially blindsided by the most unexpected and sudden interest in the CanAmp over this past summer. If you read this entire thread through, you'll discover that they sold through their existing stock quite quickly and had to adapt their production and source parts for the subsequent new runs.

So the Obelisk was further delayed while the CanAmp became Heed's top priority in order to meet the high demand mainly generated here. And as we found out last week from Alpar, they're already developing plans for some kind of "reference" CanAmp model.

I can imagine that shipping from Hungary to the UK is not without certain unavoidable delays, so we're probably talking about a few extra days here, not any great difficulty or reason to worry for those waiting. Belgium's closer still and I haven't got mine yet.

If I have to travel to Budapest myself and escort it back in hand-cuffs, it will be there, Charles!

Thanks. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the hint, was wondering the same (as the local shops do not stock these better quality caps).

But - I contacted the Schuro and they refused to ship out any small orders (less than 50-100 €), so would anyone know other places to try to find these, or planning to order from them, and could slip in couple of more components?

Hi

I'm currently looking for an amp to go with my 595's... After going from the Original Master to the Corda Prehead, I've spotted this Heed CanAmp..

My question is, will this amp be suitable for TV, DVD and gaming? I don't listen to music on a high end CD player but I use it a lot for TV etc. So I need a good amp.. Will the CanAmp do for me?

Thanks
Jon

Oh yea, The Heed has both the POWER and finesse to handle any chore you might choose to plug into its headphone socket. I'll just bet you'll be exploring its application with your music because it simply has those qualitys which brings music to life! And the line out is a nice added feature too for your application.
Music sound tracks in your movies and games would be just stunning. And the rumble of explosions with its depth of bass will put you immersed in the battle at the front lines...

Specifically its application with the HD-595, as I said above and back a few posts, would be a bit of overkill, due to its ability to drive much more demanding cans to their full potential. However, that is a great potential to have on tap with this amplifier not dictating whichever phone choice you may like to persue in the future. Or even its resale value for that very reason of its wide ranging application, along with its temporary Head-Fi discount being offered through BlackBird Audio, begins to make it an excellent financial decision also.

I believe dw has already covered this, since the HD595s are efficient low impedance they don't really need the Heed to open up, I believe dw liked them fine with the microamp from headroom

 

[dw6928]

yes I did. the 595s and the Microamp now live with a co-worker (sadly) but I really enjoyed the combo together. as Hi-Finthen states, the Heed would be
magnificent but may be a bit of overkill with the 595s. You will love the Microamp with the Senns. It was a personal favorite for a long time. When you are ready, the Heed and AKG 701s (my current setup) is breathtaking.

They landed with us today and will ship out to you tomorrow. I'll confirm

Thanks for your patience

I wish they sold those Panasonics in the UK You'll also get your ELNA Cerafine 100uF or ELNA Silmic 100uF over there. 25V is perfectly good. Spec sheet for the Panasonic TS-HA series here

jplmk - maybe we can order together (I am in germany)
