More I read about the Milo, the more I want one. Especially since it sounds like it really does well with the HEK and HE6 Anyone want to let me borrow theirs? lol

AH! I need to keep better track of the meets. Unfortunately I work Saturdays, so I have to plan ahead to get the day off. Maybe next to around. :frowning2:

For Chicago, there is a thread completely dedicated to alerting people when a new meet has been scheduled and linking to the respective meet thread. If you think there is a chance you might ever attend one, you should sub to it. http://www.head-fi.org/t/779645/chicago-area-head-fi-meet-announcement-thread

I think they were at the last Head-Fi event in San Francisco. Wells Audio is just down the road an hour or so in Campbell, CA.

Really thinking about ordering this amp to pair with a Metrum Musette DAC. I would power ZMF Ori, Atticus and Eikon headphones with it. My computer will be the source. I am just so close to pulling the trigger after weeks of study and PMs with fine head-fi members.

I wonder what the lead time is for one and guess phone is the only way to order (that I have found).

How hot do the heatsinks get?

The heat sinks don't get very hot. The Milo actually runs pretty cool in general.

That is good, because if I get it my high dollar NEC monitors will be pretty near it. I think I can place it toward the front of my desk and the Metrum Musette under my monitors. The computer is left of the position I would put the Milo. Still thinking a shorter amp would be better with one DAC under the left montitor and the amp under the right monitor. Tough decision without being able to see and hear them. My desk is below:

Is phone the only way to order a Milo and what is the usual time it takes for it to ship?

You can email Jeff, and let him know you want to order etc. then call him with your C.C. information. Thats what I did :)

Did you end up selling your Milo for the Headtrip? What are you using them with?

Mine took about 3 weeks, but that included both Christmas and New Years holidays and waiting time for the Khozmo attenuator and Vishay z-foils to arrive.  I'd be willing to say it normally is a lot faster.  I was in no hurry though.  But let me just say, it's worth the wait.  Sounds wonderful, even better than my Ragnarok, more musical and natural, and that's high praise as I love my Ragnarok as well.
 
And yep, you'll have to call.  You'll be dealing with Jeff directly.  This is a small operation and you get personal service.  It's your chance to talk to him and talk about any options you want.

What does the $400 Khozmo attenuator improve upon a Milo without it.

How does the Wells Audio house sound compare to the Cavalli Audio house sound?

Would love to hear your detailed impressions of the Milo vs the Rag. I really like the Rag too.
