It's the same Jim Fosgate who started the company which eventually became Rockford Fosgate, he's no longer associated with the company.

 

[customcoco]

any news?

 

[customcoco]

I contacted musical surroundings, The amp will get out in april and retail for 1500$.
 
some infos here : http://www.musicalsurroundings.com/images/Images/Fosgate/Fosgate_Headphone/Fosgate%20Signature%20Headphone%20Amplifier.pdf

That's gorgeous

 

[customcoco]

oh yes it is...
 
 
I wonder how the crossfeed will perform compared to, say, a phonitor..
 
 

 

[ESL-1]

A friend who is a Fosgate dealer confirmed that the projected price should be around $1500, time to start saving the pennies.... :rolleyes:

 

[customcoco]

does your friend know anything about the crossfeed circuit?

"...Combining a tube input stage with a solid-state output, it will include a loudness control, spatial enhancement circuit, and built-in DAC..."
 
Why?
 
Maybe I'm reading this wrong. Is it de facto loudness controll and spatial enhancement - or is it "you can tune the sound by tube rolling"?

no, the "loundness control" (which is basically a bass boost) and the "spatial enhancement" circuit can both be bypassed.

Looks like $1299 is the confirmed MSRP.

 

[customcoco]

what about the dac? I do not see anything about it on musical surrounding's website..
