If it is a public domain circuit or a different one, then no big deal on the circuit. If. . . On the chassis, it is a near copy and there is no excuse for that.

Wow....JUST WOW....Can't belive it. Even my custom volume knob....

So Ray, you finally have started to produce over seas? :^)

 

[nsx_23]

Maybe its a new entry-level model?

 

[RTTR]

Well none the less, I'm going with the Tomahawk, now just to decide on which IEM's I want for my portable setup.

What are the dimensions of the Hornet and Tomahawk anyway? Ray you should put that on the site, if it's not already on there already, I'm blind maybe.

The hawk is tiny, w - 1.75", h - 0.75", d - 3.125" (vol. knob incl.). Excellent dynamics & control. On loud passages, it does not congest much. Amazing for such a small amp and 2 AAA batteries.

I think that one of the greatest things about the Tomahawk( despite its SQ that I can't opine on, since I've never tried it ) is its batery life. 2 AAA's that can last hundreds of hours is just amazing.

But I'll get a Headsix. I'll contribute with head-fi foruns and it will be cheaper.

BTW, I'm only using the hawk on my ER4S IEM. It was conceived and designed for IEMs.

 

[ah_long]

where could i order the mina?

 

[Caution]

oh my god @ the mina... Nice box though

no one has recommenced the pico or even the predator (even though it costs $$ because of the dac which the op may no need) what gives?

 

[ZephyrSapphire]

Because those aren't similar (sound-wise or even price-wise) to the Tomahawk.

 

[DeltaX5]

Ray Samuels should make a clone of the Tomahawk but without a DAC. This way there would be a cheeper alternative. Not all of use need or want a DAC from a portable.

 

[Kerby88]

Why not look into the headamp PICO w/o DAC? Is it still an option? I believe the price and size are nearly identical to the Tomahawk.

The Tomahawk doesn't have a DAC.

I believe the Pico is much larger than the Tomahawk.

Not many amps can touch the Tomahawk in terms of size.
