Rockhopper Audio is back!

[DennyL]

Here:- http://www.rockhopperaudio.com/

Already offering the Mini³, with the M³ and β22 to come. This is good news indeed.

This is already posted in the Mall-Fi forum, but I'm sure there are plenty of people like me who come here always to go to the same few forums and might miss it.

NICE! time to save up for that b22 w/ 3 year warranty

Thanks for the post. I hadn't noticed it in the Mall-Fi forum!

Sounds like a good thing. Pro builders have been in short supply, and he has agreat reputation.


Can't keep an audio geek away.

x2... I sense a b22 heading my way

Ooh that Mini^3 looks soooo enticing, 3 channel config with AD8397s

Hmmm...Rockhopper is only 1 hour away from me

I really want a balanced B22 bad...sell my stuff now...save little...done!!

Rockhopper location says Chapel Hill, NC has he moved? I thought he was @ College Park... I am tempted to get one. Isn't the battery life with 8397 very short like 6 ~ 8 hours?

 

[SK138]

WHAT?!?! He moved from College Park, MD, to NC? That's little more driving than I would like

His better half relocated, so he went with her.

Nope, sadly you can't, but it'll be fun to be building again.

The Brickskellar moved to NC!?!?!?
There's a great little BBQ joint here called, well, The Barbeque Joint. Says it all really. So does the store next to it, The Good Beer Store. Picked up some Rochefort Trappistes 6, 8, and 10 there the other day. That's just the beginning....oh man am I in trouble.





Oh, my wife, yeah, she's cool too

Since this isn't a paid MOT thread I can't (nor should I) comment on this issue. But there are ways to find out what I think about it

Welcome back Rockhopper

I bought a portable PIMETA from Rockhopper about 2 years ago, it exceeded my expectations in both sound and build quality. I still kick my self for selling that amp, I'll have to try the Mini3 when I have some extra cash.

You should, it's a fantastic little amp.

 

[kpeezy]

Well, I'll be using my iPod as my source for a while and I'm wondering whether I really need a DAC or not :-s.. I think I might go with not and get this mini^3

Edit: do any pics exist of this mini^3 amp?? (FOUND)
