Reality or HP-100??? What's the latest?

[merc]

I just searched Head-Fi looking for some more info on the Sonic Reality amp demo and found a thread talking about a near identical amp being sold for only $120 USD???

Where can I get this amp for this price?

Finally, if you can no longer buy the HP-100, has anyone had any luck getting the advertised demo Reality amp? I tried sending him a PM but his box is full, so I sent him an urgent email.

What is the latest on these questions.

Thanks!

The REality is much newer, has some problems like too much heat fixed, and is a better amp overall. The HP-100 was a prototype that was used by the designer to team up with Sonic adventure to sell. The caps have been redone in the newer model, so the sound is a little better than the original Reality that was sent out for audition.

I owned one for about two months and when teamed up with a decent pair of tubes sounded quite good. There are better amps, but they cost more also.

Keep an eye out for some of Joe Lau's new creations. They should be released within a month or so.
