Just got a new toy that will hopefully play real nice with my HD800 and the LCD-2 that should be coming any day now. Great service from Robert at APhrodite Cu29. Here are a few pics:

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed it looked so good from the pictures on the official website.

It not only looks good I sounds great. I originally bought the V100 directly from Fried but then Robert convinced me to upgrade to the V200. The V100 was very good but the V200 is even better especially with a more refined sound. I have it in my nightstand and listen to it every night falling asleep. I use a pair of  W10JPN and it makes them sing.
 
Did you talk to Robert about his Zeus cable for your HD800? I am comparing it righ now to my DHC Comlpement and so far it is as the saem level at half the cost and less than half the weight. You should look into it.

Yes, he did mention his cable. I already own the baby compliment, so I don't feel the urge to upgrade. Maybe I'll have him make one for my LCD-2's......

I am thinking in gettin ghte Zeus to replace my Complement mainly becuase of the weight issue. The complement is too heavy IMO.
The Zeus totally change my T1 from about to quit on them to love them as much as my HD800.
I am thnking in getting the LCD-2 in a month of 2.... too many expenses right now. I sent my PerfectWave DAC to be upgraded and also order a maxed out WA5-LE so the wallet needs some relief.
 
Getting the LCD-2 I will order a Zeus for them for sure.

Thanks for the feedback on the zeus, I think I'll talk to Robert about it for the LCD-2's.
 
Congratulations on the WA5 amp. That is still one of my all time favorites. I don't know why I've never bought one.....

 

[musicman59]

I listen to it at Canjam for the first time and I was just glued to it... my T1 have never sounded that good and my amplifiers are not a slush I have a Rudi RP010B and an Apache but the WA5_LE with the EML tubes was out of this world. IMO better than the $10,000 Pinnacle.

This brilliant amp is kinda underrated...

That's one ugly faceplate. Sounds like a good amp though.

Think so?  In person it's a classy looking unit, and I'm a bit picky about that sort of thing.  Very solid feel to it as well.

Well I think the simplistic finish is beautiful-it's the font and 'sundial' if you will that turns me off. And lol at the Wall-E reference!

I see your point and I cannot disagree - the sundial around the volume knob is too prominent and unnecessary.

BK_856er,
 
I have been looking at the Lake People Violelectric family of products and have an eye on the HPAv181, mainly due to its balanced configuration and availability of pre-gain settings.  I notice your equipment also mirrors mine.  I have a Lavry DA-10 and pretty much am faithful to my ATH AD-2000 which I think are really great cans.  I wonder as to your experience using the V200 with the AT cans.  Can you give an impression as to how they do on jazz and acoustic rock and bluegrass, if that's in your area of interest?  I listen to alot of G' Dead, as well.
