Seconded!

I was at the So Cal meet this weekend. The P-51 by far has the biggest and richest sound of any portable I have ever heard(We were powering Sony R10's with it for goodness sake, it doesn't get much bigger than that...) I spent some time with it and both the Shure 530's and UE Triple.fi's, and they all sounded great, very warm, detailed, and clean. Sounds distinctly tube like at times, I could swear Ray packed some tubes in there

Though it has a ton of power, I heard someone say it powers K1000's (to a listenable level, which says something)

I have a Tomy and this little guy beats it hands down, and for only about $100 more than I paid for mine. I do have to say that it does have the same RSA sound sig, but it is a very nice addition to the line up. Also I have become a believer in a good LOD I heard an ALO cotton dock and I was impressed.

My advice to everyone is wait for all your portable purchases till this guy comes out. Christmas presents anyone?

This applies to everything I have said above, one of the most important thing I learned this weekend, was that you have to hear things for yourself, and trust your ears. Honestly you will have your own preferences, I heard rigs that might get rave reviews here and cost thousands upon thousand of dollars, but to my ears it was mediocre. So go figure out the ideal rig you want and find a way to hear it because, that sound you have preconceived in your mind isn't what is necessarily going to come out of your phones.

It's a new amp. Smaller than the Tomahawk.

It's small, tiny and has some IMPRESSIVE sound. It fits snugly behind a nano and is not much bigger than a matchbox. When I heard it at first, I thought I was listening to a new Apache. Only later did I find out it was a tiny little metal box with HUGE sound. If I had to buy a new portable, I would definitely buy the P-52 without thinking twice.

Most likely under $400.00

That is small - I've just bought a SR-71A and this looks less than half the size.

Any idea how the sound will compare to the SR-71A with IEMs?

The smaller the better for portable use. Nice one again from ray.

Well, I guess there is the answer to "anything smaller".
