Got Milk, check to see if your FIL's headphones are the old or new version, it would be interesting if you buy a new set and are able to make a side to side comparison. Can't wait to hear your initial impressions.

Alright...phew -- so Omen, we all done building all 24 group-buy amps? I'm #20; any chance I'll have mine by this weekend? I can feel it already...

It’s acceptable to have an emotional outburst on head-fi as long as you use no less than 10 words with most of them being longer than 3 syllables.
Use of spandex is highly discouraged.
Don’t feel bad though, we’re all as excited as you are, we just don’t show it because we’re cool like that.

Back to Caliente talk: I’m wondering how it pairs up with Beyers, I’m thinking of getting a DT880 or 990 and I couldn’t find any comments on this. The only info I found was about the DT770 and it wasn’t too favorable.

Anyone tried dt880 or dt990 with Caliente or KICAS?
... I guess I'll find out soon enough right?

That's great!!

I'm also curious to know how long they are expecting before they start shipping out the amps.

They stated on the group buy "We stay within our means: we want to keep our immaculate reputation as it is, which means we only commit to build as many amps as we can ship within 6-8 weeks of payment receipt from our customers – this means that THE LONGEST we expect you to wait for your amp is 8 weeks of the day you pay us"

So with an estimated 8 week max time frame for a max of 50 amps, that tells me that with 20 amps ordered, they should be done in about 4 weeks. But that is just a hopeful guess

i have the dt990 and the caliente on order... So I will let ya know.

Lol. I'm not really that excited. I just wanted to crook a few eyebrows. Mission accomplished.

But yeah -- good luck with the builds and happy listening.

Hello all,

thought I'd contribute quickly, as I'm short on time:

DT880 - Caliente for sure
DT990 - either will do, but I prefer KICAS

As for orders, some parts are already in stock. Peter will order the rest this weekend. The PCB's usually take the longest to manufacture, @ 2-3 weeks before they arrive at our doors. Then consider 5-10 amps per week (depending on various factors) manufactured. Hope this helps and don't be discouraged if I don't post again for a little while. Trying to focus on the work

Thanks for the update.

I'm sure I am not alone when I say I can't wait

Very helpful, thanks.

Skylab, I recall that you possess the Head-Direct EF1 and have reviewed it. How does it compare with the KICAS (either version will be fine) in driving the D5000 in particular?

Thanks in advance.

I am #13 but I live live near Purity Audio and have arranged to pick it up when it is ready. So I may be one of the first to report. I own a Shanling PH100 and CI Audo VHP2 that I will be comparing with the Caliente. I also have the AKG K701 & K601 so there will be lots to compare.

 

[Head Whipped]

hoodlum ,Can't wait for this one!

 

[blast8180]

Hoodlum, looking forward to your comparison between the Caliente and the VHP-2! Are you also using the addon power supply that was offered by CI?
