Just came across the following update from Heed Audio's UK distributor, t-source:

Quote:

Demand for the CanAmp has been huge and the factory are working furiously to keep up with demand, as well as keep up to speed with everything else - it's great that such a worthy product is finally get proper recognition, and rest assured we are all working to get to a position of having enough stock!! We will of course run a first come first served basis on fulfilling orders - so rest assured if you've placed an order with a dealer you will get yours as soon as they arrive. If you're interested and haven't been able to listen to one yet (as many retailers haven't been able to keep any for long enough) - please head down to the Bristol Hi Fi Show, as we'll have at least one on demo... We'll be updating our re-seller pages soon as we've a few more retailers with accounts now - Loud and Clear, Glasgow Audio & PJ Hi Fi - but they won't have any on dem yet...customers first! Please feel free to drop us a line if you've any further questions

I am not so sure! Have you seen Wayne's post on the new Xenos he purchased?

I know it's just me, and I know it's slightly off-topic, but the name of this amp reminds me of the Jan-Can-Cook show that was so hilarious back in the late 90-'s. Just thought I'd share, FWIW. Maybe by finally saying it to someone, it will stop running through my head every time I read a post mentioning it.

*yan can cook

/At least it not so very off topic/ as the Heed RS2 is doing it; Fantastically ;-}

Gastan, you've got PM!

Just replaced the NE5532 with a IC socket for opamp rolling. Pretty easy to do if you're willing to sacrifice the NE5532 in the Canamp already (don't worry, it costs pennies to replace). Currently running two OPA627's on a browndog - after 5 minutes well, it sounds like a burr brown chip - the bass is bigger, the sound's more laidback...high's have better 'presence' and clarity and perhaps a touch more detailed. Have some AD843's as well which I'll be rolling in soon.

My Grado BDGS-1000s should be here next week so looking forward to some more comparisons.

i really do not think i would use the canamp with iems... that is just it. but with headphones, this amp is leagues ahead of xin's offerings in soundstage alone. details, i have no idea, not enough time with my xin yet, but they are two different categories. iv le was made for the shure, ety and the westone, they heed for the beyers, senns and akgs. cheers

I totally agree. The only thing that ever sounded marginally "bad" connected to the Heed were my IEMs. The Ety 6s were shrill and harsh, even the Superfi
5 Pros were no bargain. I think this amp's strong attributes are designed
for full size, hungry AKGs or Sennheisers. Believe it or not, the Koss KSC 75
sounded better than the Etys.

Mixing did'nt really start until multitrack (more than 2) recording got off the ground in the mid-sixties. Of course, cllearly distinct channels were part of the magic of Stereo when we were first getting to know it. You were expected to do the "mixing" (term probably not invented yet) in your head.

 

[dw6928]

Motown claims 1964 as the breakthrough year for the introduction of 3 or more
tracks. Some nights with the Heed (very late), I think I hear 64 or more tracks
all layered in multidimensional bliss

 

[daggerlee]

So AD843's on a browndog doesn't work - the Heed supplies I think 9V to the opamps while they need >9. I have some AD823 (which are confirmed to work), AD8620's, and a LM4562 coming in tomorrow along with the adapters.

Meanwhile I'm enjoying the sound with the OPA627's. Laidback, with lots of detail...

Thanks for the update, dl. I'm following your op-amp adventures with keen interest!
