New Head-Fier
Hi guys, I want to show you my new headamp.
The main objective in designing this solid state voltage feedback amplifier was to develop a device free from dynamic and thermal distortion that causes sound "coloration" and dynamic range compression.
To achieve this, special measures were taken to reduce the influence of high-frequency noise coming from the air and AC mains (SMPS, cellular, WI-FI etc) and thermal modulation of active elements.
These measures include a low parasitic capacitance linear transformer power supply, low noise voltage regulators, high quiescent current, an aluminum enclosure made from a single piece of metal, special PCB topology, high efficient common mode and differential mode filters for the power supply lines, and input and output of the amplifier.
The resulting sound of the amplifier is significantly different from other amplifiers available on the mass market.
As some listeners say, it differs in a similar way to how the mastering of hi-res recordings differs from regular recordings: hi-res recordings tend to sound "quieter" on average but have a greater peak volume range (dynamic range).
I would be interested in receiving feedback from the members of our forum on the sound of this amplifier.
I'm in Australia and the amp is designed for a mains voltage of 220-240 volts.
PM me If you are interested in listening to it and writing a feedback.
