Hi Guys,

Just got my new rig, balanced all the way from source to head. The setup is;

Transporter - RPX100 - Balanced RS1

In addition I'm using the pre-amp function to send the signal down to my power amp, so I'm using the maximum functionality. The sound on balanced mode is incredible - that's all I can say.

Will post some pictures once I've worked out how to do it.


Regards,
Craig.

imageshack.us is a method that works for me. Just copy the Hotlink for Forums that it provides into your post.

Another Cooper, I take it? welcome!

EDIT: Like Patu said. Great minds think alike or something.

The headphone amplifier can also serve as a preamplifier for connected power amps and subsequent loudspeakers.

Hi Valeite,

What I wanted from the amp was that the output should either go to the headphones, or the speakers, but not both at the same time. According to Rudi he considered the best way to accomplish this for maximum sound quality was to have a selectable switch, rather than for example an internal relay which switches as the headphones are connected/disconnected. Is your model different?

The sound quality is fantastic, really amazingly clear and dynamic.

Hi vcoheda,

The RS1's are new from Grado via Moon Audio who request the balanced mods.


Regards,
Craig.

that is a beast of an amp. must sound amazing with the balanced RS1s. definitely won't have to upgrade for a good long time.
