Hmmm.....

Sounds like agreement to me.

I think if Zach gets anywhere near that level of resolution, the musicality and spatial coherence of his tuning will take the day, maybe the weekend, and even more so with LordGywn's amps driving it; which significantly improves that over other amplifiers, even very good ones.! I can see their may need to be a certain pentode in my future because I am sure at some point when the piggy is ready to break for a Caldera I will have to start saving for that as well.

Happy listening,

You see what you want to see and hear what you want to hear....

This is journey's end for me.

If I had 5 bucks for everytime I've seen you say this about one piece of gear or another, I'd be a very wealthy man.

 

[jgwtriode]

I don't always spend more than I should, but when I do it is for audio!

Hahahah! ROTFL

RE: Susvara and LCD-4, Zach has said a few times already that the Caldera is tuned unlike any other planar on the market, and @warrenpchi pretty much confirmed that sentiment.
I should have the Caldera here soon(?) If yall want me to compare them for you in my review drop me a PM.

It’s just convenient to call it a pentode amp but we all know it’s strapped triodes which is where the good sounding amps are.

Keenan it has to have a name going into CANJAM and not be known as the pentode amp.

I’ll just call it the journey’s beginning then.

I’ve got a nerdy name suggestion for the new amp. Since there’s excitement about pairing it with Zach’s new volcano-themed Caldera planar at CanJam, how about calling it “Orodruin”? It’s a Lord of the Rings reference. It was another name for Mount Doom. I always thought it was a cool-sounding word. On second thought, it may be too ominous for the name of a headphone amp, haha.

Ahh I know what you mean, but it is still in development, a prototype really as I may change the circuit. Once you name it, it becomes "official" so it might be better to remain anonymous until it really is official.

Or I'll name it TSPA (triode-strapped pentode amp) instead of pentode amp

TSPA for now sounds good.

Just call it part of the journey, because the journey only ends until the next piece of gear or next headphone......there fixed.

Choose your amp name wisely. I chose Odyssey because that's suppose to be journey's end when Odysseus got home. Unfortunately he had a son name Telemachus.

I like Harmonia, the Greek goddess of harmony. But with the tubes protruding like they do it may be more of a male amp, so maybe not.

Amp made it to SoCal, looks like one of the transformers got a little banged out of alignment in transport, probably can be pushed back, but it works! And early impressions from Zach are very good

We will see what other people think later today.
