Well, I just dumped cash on a pair of Senn HD650's, and a Little Dot MKV amp...next up is a DAC and interconnects, and after that will be a portable amp. Torn between the 2Move and the Pico now. Everyone has great things to say about the Pico. Does the Pico have crossfeed?

The Pico does not have crossfeed.

Well, that tips it back in favor of the Corda then. Thanks for the info!

It seems to work really well with my Klipsch Custom 3s. My one complaint is that it's very big and heavy. Skylab is right about the looks. It is a rather plain looking amp. If I could put it inside a Pico enclosure then it would be a fantastic amp and not just a great one.

I've never heard a voyager,but some others rate it as number 1 in their reviews.
some people rely on others reviews,but I rely on my own ears.I don't know how old the reviewer is, but they say a person usually loses some hearing the older one gets.

I am 41. However, I have had my hearing tested, and it's excellent. I can still hear 20kHz tones. I have no measurable hearing loss. So while you may not agree with my review, you cannot blame my hearing

That's good. I respect those of us who have looked after the one part of the chain that you can't raise the performance of once it's lost that performance.

Sure, only natural we're not all going to agree 100% with another person's impressions/opinions. But what you write IS well written, well researched and well documented.

VERY much appreicated, Skylab.

What is "image specificity"?

I'm not saying that I disagree with your review.I was making a statement to acidtripwow,more,or less to trust his own ears,he may hear something different then you,or I.If we all heard the same,we would all own the same amp.
I'm sorry if you got the wrong impression.

Wow...I woulda thought that you thought higher of the Voyager. IMO it's one of the better amps out there, if not the best. You're right about the casing ans everything else being cheapy...

Alas, even in the extremely competitive portable market, atleast it's in the top 10, lol. So that in itself is something worth stating.

No worries at all - and yes, everyone should ALWAYS trust their own ears!

Back to the Voyager, so when the contour switch is engaged there's both a boost in bass and treble? I thought it was only a bass boost. So how badly does it brighten the sound?

Also, another reviewer said the Voyager was about "Bass, bass, bass, full mind and more bass" I don't get that impression from your review. Is it, saw, darker than a RS-71? It sounds like a bright amp from your description of possessing a treble emphasis. Not what I expected to hear.

I honestly did not use it that much - I don't really like such things. Someone who owns one will have to comment.

I said the Voyager had "full, powerful, and punchy bass". I also said the treble had a little extra sheen, but that doesn't really make it bright, just a little sizzle that shouldn't necessarily be there.
