So you're not talking about left and right channels reversed correct? More or less each driver zigs when it would otherwise zag? Apologies in advance for using the highly technical verbiage

Out of phase means that when the soundwave is supposed to be positive, it is instead negative. Which means, when the driver is supposed to be pushed out (on the speaker, or on the headphone) it’s pulled in instead. That happens on both channels, assuming, as they would be here, they are both out of phase. in reality, it is something most will never notice. Some (older amps used to have a button to select phase. The reason that is not a popular option, it is of little value, so if you do compare two Headphones simultaneously, and they are exactly the same type on the same amp, there is a tiny chance you might notice a small difference, and even then you are unlikely to here it or care about it.

The OG V281...is a Sweet Black Angel...

Agreed. And not to brag, but my F.E. version has a smooth finish on the housing and shiny chamfers on the front plate just as the final run of 100 will. And as Bill Murray said in Caddyshack, "So I got that going for me.....Which is good"

No you can't. Yes I can. No you can't. Yes I can. No you can't. Yes I can. Yes I can. YES I CAN. Great, now I've exhausted all of my silliness quota for the rest of the month. At least that's a break for everyone else here

Very concise, well organized--and to this Violectric/Lake People fanboy, extremely interesting.

I'd like to see a photo of the back of the reissue. Also wondering if the front will have unique engraving to go with the machined edges. Mine is engraved with Final Edition. Maybe it could say something cool like Collector's Edition or Legacy Edition. What other engraving would you guys like to see on the front of it?

Collector's Edition

Truth in advertising! (I say this having already pre-ordered one myself)

How about “For real this time”?

Anyone else notice that the power output section for the v550/590 is 5500mW instead of the 6400mW being mentioned earlier in the article:

"

• V550 – This is the “true successor” of the V281. As with the other balanced amps, it has two V200 CMA amp modules. It has the biggest power supply, resulting in more output power. There is a remote control and balanced inputs. Power output at 50 ohms is 6.4W, even more than the V281.

"

???

 

[Fegefeuer]

6,4W is the correct value

Thanks for catching that. It should be 6400mW. I just emailed headphoneer and asked them if they could update that.
