Tigz,
 
I am just saying that the slightly warm sound of the V800->V200 makes the music more fun than the Meiers. I actually found them quite detailed too. (I did not try bad recordings during the audition)

Im curious what is your definition of neutral?  Are you saying that with the Violectrics bad recordings as well as good recordings are extremely musical?  As in you can't find the faults in bad vs. good recordings as easily?  Just curious how you came to the conclusion is all.

It is also important to remember that the Meier stack will cost you 1040 Euro delivered while the Violectric will come to more than 1900 euros.

anyone talks about its pre-gain setting? Im using D7000 and I put it on -12

 

[dallan]

I have mine on -6 because sometimes i use them with my hd800s but mainly with Ed8's.

When I use ED8, I use +6. With T1, 0.

Headphone sensitivity is one factor, but input level is yet another.   The V200 can take up to +21dBu or 12Veff, true to its pro heritage.  The balanced XLR output of my DA11 puts out up to +24dBu, so normally I set it about halfway, adjust the V200 pre-gain to the -6 setting and get the volume pot on the V200 working for me around 11:00-1:00 for normal listening through the LCD-2.  A source with lower "non-pro" 2V output would need a different pre-gain setting.  The V200 pre-gain is a nice feature.

Has anyone compared the V200 vs the Lehmann Black Cube Linear? I am torn between these two and will have to purchase without a demo for use with HD800. Violectric is a month behind in filling current orders. I can get a used BCL for ~$800 or buy a new Violectric or Lehmann from Thomann in europe and have it shipped to USA for around $1000 for the Violectric and $900 for a new Lehmann. Can I go wrong with either amp?

 

[DaveN]

Does anyone know if the V200 will work on either 220 or 120V or are they market specific for input voltage?

 

[Jian]

I believe it works with from 115 to 230V.

I got mine at aphroditecu29.com and he had them is stock.  His names Robert and is really cool, he came recommended from a fellow headfier and I recommend him too.

For different market the Violectric are wired at the transformer primary for either 115 Vac or 230Vac .. that means the user have to do some soldering job at the primary-winding in order to change between 115Vac / 230Vac. Quite simply if you are competent.
For safety reason, the internal pcb soldered fuse should need to be changed to a double value when use at 115Vac.  
I believe the fuse can be order from RS Component, or other sources.

I initially planned to purchase from Robert. He answered a few questions via email quite promptly. He may be at CES and not checking his email but he has not responded to three emails concerning purchase. He lists them at his web site and ebay. The Ebay pricing is higher and delivery is listed as between 1/18 and 1/24. It would appear that they are not in stock with such a long delivery time and that he may not be aware of the 4 week backorder.
These facts and lack of response got me looking elsewhere. I'm interested to see if I hear from him this week.

Hmm, soldering pcb may be more than I need to tackle.

Lake People / Violectric offers instructions how to come from 230 VAC to 1125 VAC and vice versa.
These are mailed on request.
Also how to install a USB input.
The USB installation is completely made without soldering.
 
For changing mains voltage you should know how to manage a soldering iron.
To change from 230 VAC to 115 VAC one trace has to be cut and to bridges have to be soldered.
This is not a big problem if you now how to proceed.
Changing the fuse is NOT necessary !!
 
Indeed Violectric has some delivery /stock problems because of massive and unexpected sales during seasons, before and after
 
We are busy to solve these and apologize for any inconveniences.
