Just recently picked up a Violectric V200. Off frame to the left is my SAE 2200 which powers a pair of KEF Q300 loudspeakers.

Any thoughts on the new V200? It's been on my radar.

A friend of mine picked up a V200 and absolutely loves it. I will get a listening impression tonight and send it your way.

I listened to my HD800 and my T1 when I have it with the V200 and remembered getting blown away by them..

I'm in love with it. It has a wonderfully lush, liquid tone, exactly what I wanted for my HD800 and T1. It has an almost otherworldly ability to smooth out glaring peaks without sacrificing any detail, remaining quick and articulate. The noise floor is imperceptible with any of my headphones and lends to an extremely black background (great for classical or anything with lots of dynamic range). My only gripe is that the soundstage seems a little constrained. Layering and positioning seem to remain intact, but sound sources seem to be moved noticeably closer to the listener. This is a minor gripe though and not a deal breaker by any means. I highly recommend the V200.

wow, that's high praise. I am looking in that price range. 3 pieces in my gun sights the V200, Burson soloist and Lehmann Linear. From what I am gathering the V200 is likely the most "liquid, tube like" if you will. I tend to favor detail and image focus-my hearing is crapping out and at this point in my life products voiced that way sound better to me. Not saying however that's a deal breaker. Do you have any experience with those other 2 amps?

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with either of those amps. However, I would agree with the V200 being described as "liquid" and "tube-like."

Never tried the Lehmann, but I didn't like the Burson Soloist when I tried it with HD800. IMO the treble sounds a bit gritty.
 
Can't quite remember what else I don't like about it but without a shadow of a doubt I would take the Graham Slee Solo over it. iirc they both cost about the same.
