Does this mean that the unit is available in 110-120V or 230-240V or does it mean that the power supply is capable of operating under both voltages without any separate configuration?

Looking at the pics I'd guess the former, but I just wanted to make sure as I know the pics are of a prototype.

Thanks Ray.

You have no idea how good this thing sounds. I tried it out with some of my best demo material.

In short, my demo material has NEVER sounded so good. This has got to be one the best pre-amps/headphone amps I have ever heard. I heard a lot of the amps at the meet and this one impressed me the most in terms of sound quality and build. Plus, I know that RSA provides amazing customer service. You simply can't go wrong with this.

My experience with the Apache at the National Meet was simply incredible. It was my first chance to listen to a balanced setup using Ray's HD600's, which was quite impressive to say the least. I was also blown away by its single ended performance too, through Jahn's Darth Grados.

Looks impressive, impeccable workmanship as always Ray.

LFF/rlanger - I have some idea how good it sounds, unless you are saying it blows away other balanced amplifiers... which would be a pretty strong statement.

The best part is that when it's on mute, you can sit back and enjoy how beautiful the thing is. Well done on all points.

Fantastic work Ray! The Apache awed me too at the meet but my funds are limited right now

Hopefully I can pick one up sometime soon.

btw - if anyone runs some balanced GS1000's on this thing please do post impressions or PM me with your thoughts!

i emailed Ray about a year ago begging for a balanced HR-2 with stepped attenuator which he assured me was in the works.

Ray you have PM, thanks

Ray you have a PM thanks.

I already posted this in the Amp forum, but in case this should be lost...

I'm wondering if the big price difference between the Apache and the B-52 is just due to the different amp typology (tube vs solid state), or if the B-52 simply does have something that makes it objectively better, or "higher end". Any hints?

I must say I'm very tempted by that tube monster, but as I'm in the intro-price range for the Apache, the choice isn't that obvious. The B-52 intro-promotion isn't here anymore, eheh

Hi friends....
There are 10 limited production, clear/white chassis, just like the ones in the B-52 thread, avaialable to those who would like to have other than black anodized Apache. These chassis are offered at no extra charge.

Those who have e-mailed us regarding the Apache headphone amp/pre-amp, please get in touch with me either by phone, e-mail or pm regarding the payment.

All Apache's will be shipped via fed-ex, whether being in the US or outside CONUS. Those who are out of US please e-mail me your shipping address to find out the shipping fee. Please call me or pm me to arrange the payment method.

Remember we will honor first commers according to the date we recieved the orders. But we will ship to those who will make the payment first.

Thanks. If you have any question please do call me at 847-673-8739.

Cheers.
Ray Samuels
