New Amp from HeadAmp - GS-X Mini
- Thread starter Rhamnetin
- Start date
You don’t need specs, it’s an amazing amp capable of driving most headphones.Any official specs? There is none on the website.
Hypothetically speaking, if you DID have specifications, what would really change? Because at the end of the day, peeps will generally go off of peer reviews; so far the limited number of reviews have been that of absolutely stellar performance over a wide range of headphones. Indications are incredible SQ and a highly capable device which can take a single-ended input and output balanced.
All sound good to me. Fairly reasonable price point for this performance too.

It seems like they've been operating at full capacity while pushing these pre-orders out and haven't gotten around to updating the Mini's page as both the Gilmore lite MKII and GSX MKII have a spec page.
Additionally, despite the responses you've gotten from other members, it's perfectly reasonable to desire some objective performance parameters for a brand new dynalo variant (especially at this price point).
I'm curious as well

It's good to know what I am buying into since I live in half the world away in Australia.

No published specs but I pre-ordered anyway based on recommendations from many, and one in particular that I trust.

I preorder too. But some specs will be nice.No published specs but I pre-ordered anyway based on recommendations from many, and one in particular that I trust.

Nice sure but not required. Anyway, this will be my endgame for some time to come I'm sure.

What the hell people specs could at least tell you something about its power, I don't understand half the replies here saying 'you don't need specs'.

Yes, that will be coming. Note though that these specs are very limited and can be interpreted in any way, varies depending on how its tested, and therefore can't be compared except in cases where someone has tested a bunch of amps with the same equipment. This amp is fully bipolar transistors using NOS 1980s Japanese (Toshiba) matched pair transistors in the input. Power is about 4W into 50 ohms from the balanced output. Gain level varies with volume level, but it is about equivalent to 3x for low gain and 10x for high gain.
Power consumption is 30W. That's Class A and linear regulated supplies only

That sounds about right to me, which would make the power at 300 ohms at 1 watt (if my math is right). I can't imagine that anyone would be disappointed with the power capabilities with the Mini. Even with hd800 I haven't felt the need to use high gain...or ETHER 2 for that matter. The application of good clean power is one of the hallmarks of the Mini, resulting in better control of the driver.

@justin w.
@HeadAmpTeam
I hope you guys make a BHSE Mini
Around $1600 - $1999
This will be ground breaking!
