Hi ALL
 
(First time poster, long time lurker.)
 
I've just recently upgraded (from a CMOY) to this brilliant piece of electronics.
 
I just had to post SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE about the extreme joy I am having listening to music through this amp (which I've had for only a couple of days) with my Sennheiser HD600 cans.  I figured here would be better than facebook as you "get it" unlike they would!
 
It's now 4 am and it's the second night in a row that I don't want to go to sleep because I just want to keep listening to music through this gear :)
 
Sorry if this sounds like an ad (it's not!). I just had to shout out :)
 
Cheers, Glenn

Mine arrived today from jds.
For what I hearing trought my hd 650 and my sony mdr ex1000 I completely agree with you.
I have two more expensive portable amps and I realized how threw my money.

"Welcome to headfi! Sorry about your wallet"
Glad that you are enjoying it! I am using it as well, it is a good amp for the price but sometimes and for some other genres it's a bit TOO clean in my opinion. Either way, I get exactly what you are feeling!
 
Hope you stay on in this community Glenn! We would be pleased to have you here.

I have a lot of much more expensive gear and it usually lives up to my expectations...it should, it is expensive.  I've had my O2 for a day and it is nice to have something exceed my expectations for once.  Listening to LCD-2 through the 02 right now.

Probably you ;).
 
I would really love to get this amp in a more portable package and with a good digital pot for low volume listening without channel imbalance. Even after implementing the low gain mod it still doesn't get low enough IMO before channel imbalance sets in.

I had my pal and fellow head fier make it. He already had many left over parts and just offered(or I asked...and he agreed), it would have cost me a lot more to make it and order the parts and shipping than for him, he gets free parts shipping so it was pretty cheap getting it from him :)
 
The case is quite big, but that is for pshychiological purposes along with the possibly of one day adding an ODAC if I choose.
 
You're welcome, and to anybody looking at those pictures, don't feel bad and think I spent half an hour with all that. Those were all typed up and in my pm's already . Just a quick copy and paste and also I got some additional pictures from my dropbox! :) All is fine! :)
