Thanks for the info, Deuterium. You are a lucky bloke to have one on the way.

Ouch! That's $11K.
It does look very nice though, but a hum, as slight as it is, on a this expensive machine? Then again, it could've been the iPod.

Edit: Nevermind, I thought it was Yuan rather than Yen, my mistake.

According to xe.com 88,000.00 JPY = 749.130 USD

Right, I mistook it for Yuan/RMB. That changes things, looks like a very nice thing for it's cost!

Thanks, I am looking forward to getting the piece. I am going to put it into the primary rig, although this may require me switching headphones from the Senns. I am wrestling with what cans will make a good match for this amp.

So who else has taken the plunge and ordered one?

Me.

Order placed, deposit paid, and standing by for a delivery date. Last word was that Mr. Yamamota is trying to catch up with demand, and delivery will be advised when available. Anyone have a firm delivery date?

I ordered direct from Japan(works out very close to US retail price)for a 240V version. Mr Yamamoto stated delivery time as around 7 weeks for mine. I guess publicity here and the positive 6 Moons review will have stimulated a few orders.

I'm considering ordering one. If Srajan was really impressed with the W1000 I wonder how well the L3000 would pair up. Too bad the finish doesn't match.

Please order one and let us know!

Ah, peer pressure.

Or, you could loan me your L3000s and I will let you know how they sound with the HA-02.

 

[humanflyz]

Bump

So has anyone received their HA-02 yet?

 

[braillediver]

I heard from the US distributor (Venus Hi-Fi) yesterday:

"Regarding the HA-02 wait list, yes, Mr. Yamamoto wound up having to "trash"
all of the cherry chasses for the second full production run of this
headphone amp due to a problem with the silk screening. It was a minor
problem, but he's a perfectionist, and was unwilling to let even a minor
blemish go through. The bad news was that this has delayed all orders
placed after mid-November by about three weeks."

I have no idea if any orders have shipped so I don't know if this will effect members here but it sounded like it would.

I'm eager to hear one with PS-1's in comparison to my HP4.


The A-08S I have is just beautiful. It's completely out of place in my apartment with the inflatable boat and outboard motor in the living room.
