thx

So how does it sound?

I'd love to read some owner impressions. Don't know if the AE-2 benefits at all from "burn in", but even if it does, interim notes would be interesting, too.

I agree. Is this the only one out there or are other people keeping mum about it?

 

[hYdrociTy]

if it were anything like the protos I listened to at the meet, I might have to just get one for my upcoming amp shootout..just hoping for more details right now..

Wow, it certainly looks very cool and unique (at least for the time being

). Good work Justin, I can't wait to see the rest of the colors!

AE-2 has arrived, thanks Justin!
This is copper body, brushed gold knob and green led (sorry, hidden from the pic). Justin installed AD8397 on the AE-2 without the amplifier module.

Did you ask for an 8397 instead of the amplifier module? Or is this the new standard configuration?

I did not ask Justin to install the AD8397 instead of the amplifier module at all, so I wonder this is the new standard configuration.

What is the current status on AE-2, does Justin accept orders?
Looks like the web site wasn't updated. Did anyone else receive AE-2?
How does it compare to Hornet M?
Earlier reviews of older AE-1 somewhat favored it over Hornet.

Thanks

So is anyone going to review this so i know what my amp sounds like????

I listened to an AE-1 and did not think it was as good as a Hornet. JMO.

I know you can order AE-2's by placing an AE-1 order on Justin's website. I don't know what the deal with delivery is, though. I was tempted to order one, but really wanted to hear some other comments first before I pulled the trigger.

I ordered one on Headamp's site 2 days ago and I spoke with Justin this morning about it. He said he would be shipping my AE2 in about a week. The price is the same as the AE1.

What exactly was changed from previous version?
Where did that big amplifier module go?
Before:

After

And I am pretty sure I read a bunch of impressions here favoring it over Hornet, that must have been non M version.
Did anyone have a chance to compare M version with new AE-2?
Thanks in advance.

Ooh is this a game and I get an AE2 as a prize?

1. It's hiding underneath, along with the blue caps.

2. It was an empty box containing mountian air.

3. It's now too small for the human eye to see.

4. I give up.

j/k

no offense intended.
