I'm supposed to have someone reterminating my HD650 Equinox cable with XLRs and making an adaptor to run from the Protector to female XLR connectors, we'll see what happens and in what time frame.

Best of luck to all those who are in line for this amp. Thanks again to RSA Audio.



Weird about the Boston Head-Fier not getting his amp; wasn't it at Boston Airport that the Senn 800s disappeared?

Hey Ray, how do we know when it's done charging? does a light turn on or something? and we are supposed to charge it "off" correct?


I think that adaptor light will turn from red to green when it is charged.

There is a RED LED, light, on the charger when charging, it turne GREEN when fully charged. You can keep it on the charger no harm if you so wish. Don't turn it off if you have it connected to the charger as it speeds the burn-in process, if not in use.

Saw that the charger light changed from red to green (that's a nice touch!) , and read Ray's comments about leaving the charger attached to speed up burn in. So, let's get things into play.

Selected "hi" for impedance and hooked things up. Have the trusted Isotek System CD Enhancer going, with my AKG 701s, to run in the amp over the next several days. Gave a very brief listen, in single mode, to some Alison Krauss and company. May depend on the sound of Ms. Krauss' vocals, and that of her playmates over a number of albums, to help chart the depth and breadth of some of the amp burn in at the latter part of next week. Life's good!

Just got pics of the 3.5mm -> RSA balanced female adapter that I asked a dude named FraGGleR here to build for me on the cheap, since I'm a cheapass who can't afford the TWag stuff

If there's any other stingy bastards out there I'm sure he could do one for you, the price was low and nice

I'm also whipping the guy to do a 4pin XLR -> RSA balanced female adapter so I think he can do other stuff too.

haha i felt the same way, this is about how big i thought the shadow was going to be!
