I do not go past 9:30-10:00 o'clock w/ my HD580 but I listen at low levels.

just curious I am driving hd650 at about 12 O'clock, what about u guys?

 
 
With my HD650 (Equinox), for most of my listening the volume indicator marking is generally on the right side of the "D" in "Red Wine", and sometimes to the outside left part of the "W'.  I am using USB from my MacBook Pro.
 
With my ATH-W1000X, the indicator is considerably lower - between the logo and the "E".

On the Isabellina I was normally around 11 to 12 o'clock for "typically engineered" music, and 2 oclock to 3 o'clock for uncompressed recordings with a wider dynamic range (recognizing I'd occasionally have it turn it down at peaks).

Yea, with the 650 I have the volume knob sitting at 12 usually, but of course it depends on the recording.

Hi Guys,
 
I have some very exciting news to release at the end of this month - and it applies to all RWA products (including the Isabellina HPA).
 
Also - the Isabellina HPA is listed in the "Head Gear" section of headfi.  I greatly appreciate customers taking the time to post a review!

Thanks again for all your feedback and support!
 
Best regards,
 
Vinnie

I wonder what the news will be? 

 

 

[krmathis]

^ He he,
So clearly a few of us know..

 

[bastogne]

you tell us now!

 

[GreenLeo]

Excited!

 

[silverlight]

Maybe worth sending a deposit in then asking what he'll do with it

 

[Vinnie R.]

All,
 
Details will be posted at the end of this week - I promise!  They will also be added to the RWA website.  Just a few more days is all I need

 
Thanks for all your interest (and patience)!
 
Vinnie

I don't think we can accommodate your request Vinnie!

 First you ask for a few days, then weeks, then ... $$$. Very tough on us if you ask. 

 Now stop posting and go back to work so this happens quicker.

..and the LFP-V Edition are here! Great work Vinnie!

I am seriously considering upgrading my Signature 30.2 and Isabellina. Time will show.

 

[silverlight]

I'm signed up for an upgrade on my Isabella!
 
Should be a HUGE upgrade for the Isabellina, tube stage was the key reason I went to the Isabella a while back.  Get a nice NOS 6922 and should be a nice improvement over prior version.
 
Vinnie - what would be the difference between the tube stage you're adding across the new product line (single 6922) versus the pair of of tubes in the Isabella in terms of where they're placed in the signal path and how you're using them?
 
Best rgds,
Geoff

I am replacing my Isabellina HPA with a full blown Isabella and I am upgrading the 30.2 with the upgrades. Vinnie, will there be a "trap door"  for the 30.2 and Isabellina HPA to roll tubes as you have on the Isabella?
