Thanks, does the amp come with default set to low or high?

Default is high. Loosen the two hex screws (with the included hex tool) and change two jumpers switches to low. The jumper positions are even clearly labeled on the PCB.

There is also a low current/high current jumper--low current lengthens battery life.

any impressions with MS2 or anything similar?

Jan's speed was amazing. I ordered on a Friday and it arrived Monday morning in the UK. I couldn't believe the speed!!

It seems the default current is set on low, isn't it?

Some credit to post service. But Jan's service is really none to complaint, he insists to have direct communication with customers. He even likes to tell you the design philosophy, technologies implemented.

Default is high current mode.

Would this amp synergise well with Grado RS-1s?

Yesterday I went to Radioshack to find a cord plug for my MOVE. Their H adaptaplug (1.3/3.4 mm ID/OD) fit the MOVE well. The adaptaplug is free of charge if you buy a Radioshack AC-to-DC wall wart.

One more reminder: if possible measure the voltage output from your 12 VDC wall wart before connecting it. I tried all my 12VDC wall warts (5~6 pieces, all come with phones/routers...) and all of them provided more than 12VDC, from 13 VDC to 15 VDC. I also checked the voltage of a Radioshack 12 VDC wall wart in store and it had 13 VDC. I double checked this with Jan, and Jan said that ideally 13 V is safe for MOVE, but do not go beyond it.

Hope this helps.

Should the gain be set to low for the MS1 irrespective of the power used - USB, 9v, 12v?

Gain should be set to low, yes. Contrary to earlier posts, gain does NOT get set to high when an external PSU is used.

There are two settings you can alter via jumper - gain and current.

Gain: default high. Should be set to low for low-impedance phones such as Grado, Alessandro. This tunes the amp for a particular type of headphone.

Current: default high. Current automatically switches to high when external PSU is plugged in. When on battery, low current improves battery life, while high current gives better sound quality.

I have a quick question.

For a HD 650, Corda Move or E-MU - 0404 USB ?

Both at the same price range.

Thanks

The MOVE, in high-current (but low gain) mode, is giving me about 15 hours continuous use from a 280 MAH 9V rechargeable. Not too bad...

Oh wow i didnt know that. I guess for a new person like me should probably use 9 v adapter just in case those 12v adapter push out more than 13v.

I chose the Move because the amplifier is better, it has more features (crossfeed to name one), and it is portable.

If you are sure your PS provides 12 VDC I'd suggest you stay with that 12 VDC PS. Generally speaking the higher voltage the better sound, but this also depends on which can you use. Anyway I'm sure you will be happy even with 9 V as long as your can is not a power eater....
