Get a cheap one from any electronics supplier. Most common place would be Radioshack, for very cheap. I think only the most highend systems could possibly show a real difference between power cords. But that is just my opinion.

spending that much doesn't make me happy...i wonder if we'd find a cheaper solution if everyone could agree on a group buy on the cord..... that may solve some problems

Glad to be getting my first real headphone amp. Looks like most powercords will do the job for me.
Thanks Jan for a fine offer

Ok keep in mind I just got done working 14 hours 130 calls from angry merchants that can not get there credit card terminals working, and stupid daylight savings time not auto updating on there machines like it should of...

Ok with that said I hope the stupidy of this question makes sense, what kind of cable am I looking for?

LOL is it just a generic PC power cord, or is it a specific audio grade cable that I am looking for...

From the pictures of the unit it appears that a standard three prong computer cord will work.

Sorry to be annoying, I'm just anxious.

How long does it usually take for him to respond to an email?

 

[c0mfortably_numb]

Heh that's what I figured, I mean if it is good enough to handle my 500 watt Power Supply in my pc, I am sure it would be sufficent for say a headphone amp that is only pulling 3 watts

 

[Chimpie]

Hehehe.... Just made a reservation!

Didn't know that Jan was also Dutch! (Although I should've guessed from his name!

) His site is based in Germany, right?

Now all I have to do till July is wait... And try to score a HF-1!!

Hooray

, thanks Jan. I thought I wouldn't be able to purchase one since I just bought a couple of headphones. Amp #442 reserved.

Do you guys think this amp will be an upgrade from the Antique Sound Labs MG Head 32? I'm using the HD650's.

Thanks and I was able to get in line. Woo Hoo

Dear Headfellows,

In all honesty, do you guys really think that I would have added an expensive audiophile powercord to the amp? If at all, it would have been a simple $ 2,- computer grade cable! To spend $ 15,- extra in shipping costs just to add such a cable would not be very wise and most people have such a powercord lying around any way! Remember, this is a low-profit project!

Meanwhile the list of reservations is growing rapidly. On average 10 people are added to the list every day. If it continues like this all amps will be "gone" by the beginning of Mai. Therefore do not hesitate too much if you really like to join.

Cheers

Jan

Reserved myself an amp as well, but didn't bother to pick a specific number.

This will be the first headphone amp I've ever owned, so I'm quite anxious to hear what kind of a difference it will make. Currently I run my Beyerdynamic DT-880s through my Harman/Kardon HK970s headphone socket.

This will also be the first piece of equipment I have that has a detachable powercord. Thus I can finally see if those Hi-Fi powercords really make a difference. At the same time I think it's a good piece of equipment to test the differences between interconnects.

All in all I can't wait to get my hands on that amp...

 

[Roasty]

took the plunge and asked for one to be reserved for me. waiting for someone with loads of free time to come up with a list of numbers already taken
