Leckerton Audio UHA-4 VS. Headstage Arrow 3g; A Comparison. MOBILE DEVICE WARNING

[Blasto_Brandino]

Features? not so much, footprint, fit and finish? totally! I find myself getting addicted to this MUTE feature on the UHA-4, how nifty to have around...

Damn you Blasto, I had done tons of reading and had settled on the Arrow as my big purchase, but you have cast doubt in my previously iron clad determination to buy the 4G in June. The Leckerton is only marginally more expensive than my ibasso too.., perhaps my wallet will thank you once I vote for the winner with cash.

 

[Armaegis]

Don't be silly. Your soul demands that you buy both to make the comparison yourself

Interesting - that is exactly what sold me on the E9 - should be here next week. I like the mids on the P4, but was told that the E9 is even better. I guess I'll know soon enough.

Man, I had forgotten about the mute feature! It is a very nice thing to have yet I do not know of any other amp that has it. Thanks for the reminder.

surprised by your views on the Arrow, setting everything to max probably didn't help.

Me too, Koopa. It's even better value after I checked it out and it also includes a DAC!!! Even if the sound quality didn't come across as great, I don't think you'd be losing out even if it was an average amp + DAC.

Nah - the silver version complements the silver on my P4.

 

[illquid]

But black will go with everything!

CA, Marantz and others offer most of their gear in either black or silver. NAD seems to be a big fan of a monochramatic grey for everything, but its hard to go past the huge array of finishes available for the Pico.

What mute featuer on the uha 4? Can someone tell me how to use this. Would be interesting to use. I thought the only mute feature was the on and off switch lol.
