Headphoneus Supremus
Well I am listening to the Shadow right now. This is a new board with the charging circuit (I was corrected by Ray that this was not the board at Can Jam). I had already pictured in my head that it would be little so I wasn't surprised when it arrived, I mean everything is getting smaller and smaller and . . .
I also received my JH13 Pro IEM's on Tuesday, which is pretty good timing to ascertain what the sound of the Shadow is like since I would speculate, many would use it with IEM's. Having said this I gotta add, it works well with my Ultrasone Ed. 9 and ESW 10JPN as well. This little tiny amp that charges from a USB, has an indicator light that goes out when it is fully charged, has a great little digital volume control I can tell already will be a whole lot of fun for music lovers and those who like to go light.
The sound reminds me of the P-51. Plenty of drive, great separation of voices and instruments and bass impact.
I find the Shadow and Mustang to be very close in sound. There may be a slight bit more air with the Mustang but further listening is needed. They both provide a nice wide soundstage with deep bass that is not one note but discernible as to placement and slight change in tone and character.
As I noted, there is no hiss with the Shadow and channel balance seems perfect from the minimum setting to the max I can listen to. I also get sound from far right and left that is out of head and not wrapped to right and left behind me but in front and in correct placement, which makes listening all that much more enjoyable.
Oh, and no hiss and no channel imbalance, none, spot on right and left at all volume levels. The amp has a set gain of 3.
The cost is $395.00 with an introductory price of $350 for the first 200 reservations of the amp.
The final version of the Shadow will have the name placed up higher (not so close to the bottom) so it will be more balanced looking.
