This is not true...JPS will make one for you... @ken6217 had one made. SC cable... Think he paid $500.

they will make anything if you pay for it but they are pretty adamant that they do not suggest or agree with it

No risk no reward...

Thank goodness we're all adults.

I’m sure they don’t but I don’t see any reference to not using an amp with speaker taps on their web site. Is it in one of their videos?

That looks like an ultraconductor, not superconductor. I could be wrong and it's in the wire content vs the sleeving.

That’s not the SC banana plug to female XLR. Mine is the same soft jacket as the SC headphone cable. $500.00? I wish.

Joe, doesn’t say you shouldn’t use a speaker amp, but he doesn’t condone it either.

How long ago was this?

Selling this adapter is counter intuitive to your business plan when u sell top end headphone amps as well. Specially if one edition has your name on it.

Below is their reply to me when I asked them nicely in the last week of Jan 2021.

Finally!!! Thanks for providing something (more or less) specific. I do note they are being very careful not to give an outright “NO”. Honestly, my TT2 provides plenty of power from the rear XLR’s but I’d at least like to try a speaker amp at some point to scratch the itch and do my own comparison. No hurry for me however!

I probably got in under the wire.

Not really, with that philosophy then they should just use a proprietary plug on their headphone cable and input on their amp so you can only use their products.

Company that benefits from partnership selling headphone amps $12k-$16k doesn't support speaker amp use. Color me surprised lol

I think the philosophy is that he doesn’t want someone to blow out their drivers and then want it covered under warranty.

I hear you, but I have a hard time believing that. You can blow your drivers either way, and it takes considerable carelessness to do so.

Well, actually, their mini XLR headphone connection is unique to them. I’d hoped I’d be able to use my mini XLR cables from Audeze and ZMF, but no such luck. I bought converters, but really…why? I don’t blame them for wanting to sell their product but a “standard” mini XLR or 3.5 connector would have helped!
