Sure! But at $600 (or something) I don't think so...

Just what I was afraid of.
Thats the problem with limited edition amplifier, like the KGBH SE and Aristaeus. They are sold out before they even are released...
Potential customer don't even have the time to see the end product before its too late. A shame really!

Thanks! Reminds me that RSAD (our fellow IC manufacturer) perform cryo treatment on their cables, and they might be helpful if its turns out that its a worthy modification.

That too...

I'll Google "Joplin" and see what I find.
"Anything" is worth looking into these days, as I am desperate in need of a more suitable amplifier than the 007t.

It looks like you could be out of luck as the last I heard only one was left. |

They also have warranty issues and other problem that they don't want to deal with. |

The one I saw was called "Joplin" and has a 3 tube input stage and a DHT based output stage that can take 2a3's, 45's and 300b's. It isn't a good amp by any means but it costs 600$+shipping complete and it's easy to upgrade it with better wire, connectors and caps. You can have it ready built with the upgrades but I don't know if they'll add the Stax output... If we connect a capacitor to the output of each tube (before the primary) and create a reference to ground with a few resistors between each pair of tubes we have a Stax amp. All we need to do is to turn off the output transformers when the phones are in use. |
