Past: LCD-2.1 & LCD-3 (both pre-fazor); Meze Empyrean; Hifiman Edition X v2; ZMF Atticus; Kennerton Odin Thridi (currently F.S. here); Status Audio CB-1; 3-4 of the ISK MDH9000 clones; Onkyo A8000; TH-X00 mahogan; E-Mu Teak
The Lake People G109-A has plenty of power. I never once felt like it wasn't up to driving any headphone.
The ZMF Ori is a power-hog planar. With that I can get the volume dial between 11-12:30 on the dial on low gain to get to my usual moderate/loudness listening level. All The others require less power. I've never tried a true power hog like the HFM HE6E...no doubt that would require high gain, and even that might not be enough.

Anyone know how to change the G111 to 115V..? *crickets* (I was told by the US seller that it's set to 115V, but the manual says otherwise - how can I verify that it's 115 or 230?)
"This unit is provided with an internally settable mains supply for 115 or 230 V AC. Ex works the unit is normally set to 230 V AC."
"The unit is factory-set to a mains voltage of 230 VAC. It may be set to 115 V AC operation internally. Mains voltage may vary between 190 and 240 V respectively 80 and 120 V without any effect on flawless operation. The built-in toroidal mains transformer provides the internal supply voltages of +/- 30 Volt and +/- 18 V."
On the Violectric V590, it is a simple toggle switch:

Yep, there is no switch mentioned or shown in the manual. There is one with Violectric V590, however.
I was able to determine that mine is set to 115V by turning it on and seeing that it works normally, though I can't point out how it is set to 115V on the hardware.

I have Sennheiser hd 280 pro and a Bluesound node 2i,the Sennheiser is connected to the headphone output node 2i, and it sounds fine. I wonder if a Lake People 103 S would improve the Sennheiser or it is a side step…?
103 and HD 600/650 is a good thing

Any Lake People Distributors in the USA selling the G103-S?
I see it at Thomann for about $260.00 and would gladly pay that if I could buy it in the US.
