which one of these amps should I use in my jacuzzi this upcoming summer?

[bhd812]

since I love the RS sound with my main rig using my hr-2 I want the RS sound this summer in my jacuzzi. but I need it to be a safe BATTERY powered amp.

stop laughing and post/vote now!!!!!!!!!

My future Jacuzzi sound depends on you!

your vote counts!

rock the jacuzzi...or vote...or something

I think the Blackbird would appreciate some quality time with you in the jacuzzi. Plus, I hear they float

[/sarcasm]

Floats huh??

You forgot the all important electrostatic option with high voltage tube
amp.

Have you ever seen what clorine and water will do to copper and silver
and metals in general? Neither of the options are conformally coated.
Plus the pot is not sealed. That is likely the first part to fail. Followed
by the switch and connectors.

This is a perfect job for the SR-71 -- just unplug and carry it with you when done relaxing in the Jacuzzi.

I'd have to go with the XP-7. It has a little more weight to it which might keep it from taking a swim with you if you accidently pull on the headphone cord...

Edited for your approval

I forgot the most important thing. Why is a hot tub considered a
summer time thing. I run mine all year round. Its especially fun in
the winter after 30 minutes you get out and roll around in the snow.

sarcasm?? thats the room right next to pathos right??

What, no bulls?

Cause if it was run all year round then I would need custom iem's to!

and the copper thing and all you said before I dont doubt one bit..thats why I am going with the superman of men..
RS silly...hehe j/k

See you at the meet

 

[daycart1]

I think that if I were listening in the water, I'd want battery power!

 

[immtbiker]

I'd go with the SR-71. It's cheaper to replace than the XP-7, in case of oops!

 

[saint.panda]

You probably won't be hearing the sound differences between the sr71 and the xp7 with all the bubbling going on

 

[KenW]

I've not owned the SR-71 but have both the XP-7 and currently use the HR-2. If the 71 is as near the XP-7 as many claim, I'd say it's your best bet. The RS sound and tremendous portability. Can't beat that.

Of course, you could simply save a bundle by skipping the jacuzzi and going with the "hillbilly bubble bath"

ahah, please tell me this is a joke. Well i guess if you had some water profing case, or was planing on being VERY carful with it. But otherwise thats a lot of money to be spending on an amp thats not going to have a very long life at all.
