Arg. I am not going to buy the Move. It sure does look better and has some better features, but I don't need it for now. For now...


yuo know you want to...

It appears the Corda Move is shipping now.

Just received a note from Jan to say that my Corda Move is being shipped.


Yep, I woke up to find a similar note! Yay!

I use 30 volts with mine and it sounds very good with HD 650.

I haven't had a good look for a UK adaptor, so I've been using the battery, which seems to last forever! Since I also use it on the go, the MKIII's connector placement isn't convenient...[/i]


I picked up a 24v regulated and it really shines over 9v or USB power. It is really worth the listen to hear the mkiii with the extra volts.

I guessed it would... will have to find a decent supply here!

This is very nice indeed, so is the price

Just a question (quote from amp details):
Mean current uptake: 18 mA (high current mode)
7 mA (low current mode)

The unit runs from a single 9V battery and internally the supply voltage is used to create a pair of +4.5 and -4.5V powerlines (low current mode) or a pair of +9 and -9V powerlines (high current mode).

Surely +4.5 and -4.5V is high current mode and +9 and -9V is low current mode. P=IV if you see what I mean. Am I being a blimmin' idiot? I think I'm just being a blimmin' idiot. Can someone explain this to me?

Usually Jan's products have taken about 10 days to get to me here in Chicago.

It took exactly 14 days to ship my Prehead to Michigan a few years ago.

So 4 days from IL to MI...

Anyway I am so excited now!

The manual for the Porta Corda actually states "Generally, the higher the voltage the better the sound." So, Jan must agree.

I use mine with a non-regulated 22V adapter (which actually measures around 18.5V), and it sounds great. I can't compare to the sound with 9V because I've never tried using a battery.

My Porta Corda took 21 days from Germany to the US East coast, I'm not sure what happened

YES! I urge any Porta Corda user to try a 24~30 volt DC power adapter. My amp with 30 volts delivers clean power to my 880,650, etc. Bass is clean and powerful into my Darth Beyers.
