Does the RSA SR-71A and B still match up with these newer portable amps? I've not heard many of the new models, but have enjoyed the RSA, new technology or not. They pair up very well with my HD600's and DT1350's. Just curious. Thanks!

The SR71A (I've not really used the B model) has lots of power and a very low noise floor. Some new amps do not have low noise floors. The Vorzuge does while maintaining a strong, highly resolving image.

I must be getting old; I reckon mine's been pretty much perfect ever since day one. I think I've have learned to appreciate it more, but I cannot say I noticed it getting better.
I still find it astonishing quality and I'm still delighted with it!

Indeed, the Vorzuge was wonderful out of the gate and remains that way.

The National simply kicks butt ! I like it more than the Contenintal V2 seems like the VorzAmp duo isn't quite as powerful but it is very enjoyable and I plan on keeping all three since they all are exceptional amps. I am using as iem's the Hieir 350 and as overear the Edtion8,Senn 650,HIFIMAN 400 and the Senn momentum as a on the go can. It really depends on what headphone you will be pushing as to what amp works best but if they require power it's The National hands down.

i'm using
- red wine audio - iriver AK100, with
- JVC victor fx-700 and
- audiotechnica ATH CKW-1000 ANV
- and i played kpop, korean indies, and vocals such as that from adele, beyonce etc
i wonder if anyone had used similar combinations or had advices if
- vorzamp pure or duo would be better
- and what kind of gain adjustment would be good to ask for instead of the stock default.

Hey VorzAMP owner, did you guys compare this amp to iQube before? I wonder if the performance can match iQube or even surpass it. I'm have an iQube and I'm looking for something smaller to probably pair it with Tera Player.

Hey guys! Sorry about the bump, but is anyone using their Vorzamp to power LCD2/3? I'm on the fence of buying the LCD2's but will at the same time be buying an amp, as I don't have one that I think will do the LCD2's justice. And I figured why not go portable, if there is enough power in this little unit that is!

Used it with both LCD-2/LCD-3/Paradox.
The original VorzAMP sounded quite good from a CLAS. Yo can't use the basseq since it started clipping badly but the treble eQ sinded nice.
However, a ALO Rx-3B sounds more defined even using it single-ended both inte the bass and treble. Running it balanced,´makes verything even better.
So... VorzAMP is the best IEM-amp I've heard uo do date. Rx:3B is the best portabe I've heard with LCD-2/LCD-3/Paradox.

Just pulled the trigger on the VorzampDuo! Will be fun to see how it pairs with my RWAK100!
Anyone knows if there's a difference between the Pure and Duo besides the bass/treble enhancers?
Many thanks!
Many thanks!

I had a long email enquiries about it with Vorzuge. There is no difference between the Pure and Duo within the amp section. They make sure that the EQ circuit is purely connected/disconnected with mechanical switch. This way it won't leak and influence the main amp.

Sweet! It's a superb match with TP and SE5. I like it with the teramega output of TP.

I was gonna use it with one of my AK100s.
The Tera Player is kinda permanently stuck on the 71B now, with the other AK100 stuck on the RX3 both running balanced, and the DX100 on the L3/LLP on bedside duties.....
But I will spend a weekend in the near future, swapping around and coming up with the best synergy to my ears.....

I am just tailoring set ups to a few primary (C)IEMs specifically.
