Sure or use a Tekkeon like I do and you can charge anything from this portable battery from 5 volts to 19.

X2, but unfortunately my source's battery only last about 25hrs.

I thought the P-51 sounded marvelous. I need to start saving my pennies to get one of these. It is the smallest amp I have seen and the sound is huge.

I'm really really happy that I got rid of the portable world long ago

The speed of new portable stuffs coming out is faster and faster.

 

[wuwhere]

Can they be ordered now? When will the delivery date be?

 

[jamato8]

From what I know it is a Christmas deliver and they can be reserved. I would contact Ray to be sure.

Will do. With smaller caps, burn-in time should be much shorter.

i thought the tomahawks need 600 hours of burn-in isn't it?

I'm referring to the P-51 burn-in time.

what i meant was if a small amp/cap like the tomahawk. this p51 won't get any less time of burn-in. if you believe in burn-in.

 

[jamato8]

It would seem that much less time will be needed for the cap to form. I find that circuits in general need about 100 hours of current flowing through them. The 100 hours has always been the statement by Cary Audio and a number of other companies. With larger caps and tiny amounts of current for the cap the forming period, as has been discussed, is much longer. The manufacture of V-caps has stated that over 1000 hours often is required for their teflon cap to fully change the dielectric and form the cap.

Great to see some specifications posted.
/me play Ray have just as great success with this one as with his other portable amplifiers.

Is it certain that the P-51 will put the gain setting on top of the amp?

I personally much like the gain setting postition of SR71A and predator.

Yes the gain switch is on top but recessed so you use a ballpoint pen or some small like that to change the gain setting. I rarely change a gain setting once I find what I want to use so have it easy to get to and recessed would seem to satisfy most everyone. With the 51 being so small I don't think there was room for the switch in front but again I don't think it should be an issue from what I can see.
