guzziguy Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 It's my birthday present from Kevin and along with it came the L-2 power umbilical. I can finally move the amp now as the temp cable was just a fire hazard waiting to happen.  Well, what do you expect when you get a cable from Mikhail?

Tyll Hertsens Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Maybe I missed your comments, but how do you like it, Birgir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I did post about on HF today but basically I'm very happy with it. It has even made me like... well tolerate RS-1's which says quite a bit. The amp is simply effortless and that's usually the sign of something great.  My only slight complaint is that it could do with a touch more bite with the HD800. The Dynalo with the impedance adapter has a similar sound signature but more bite and HF presence. Could be a tube issue though so I'll get some new ones from Doug when he's settled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Wait -- in what twisted world is "nipples" "bad-mouthing"? Everyone likes nipples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudeWolf Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 In the twisted world of Icelandic nipples! I mean the weather is usually cold and windy, hence there's pointy bits bloody everywhere! You can't really stand in the line at Bonus without protective eye gear and a stab vest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purk Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013  For me this would be a choice between the GS-X Mk2 and the L-2 and you can't really go wrong with either.  I love both amps.  Thanks to Doug I was able to listen to the L2 for couple of weeks.  If I don't already own the Gilmore Reference Balanced, I would have already bought the demo L2.  Birgir, have you had the chance to check out the DSHA-1?

purk Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Nope, sadly not.  Bubliss, myself, and Radio_head love the DSHA-1.  That's one fine product as well.  Doug should bring the L2 & DSHA-1 back to production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 They're out of production (besides the move)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebby Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I saw nothing about production stopping, only that Doug was clearing stock out to ease the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purk Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 When I asked about buying the DSHA...Dough informed me that he is moving into another design and may not make any more DSHA-1 unless more demand appears. Â Hope he will make some more now given that the two amps are gaining popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purk Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) This is his exact words:    Hi Purk,  Unfortunately, I am sold out of DSHA-1's. A**y got the last one. I'm not sure whether I'll do another run or not -- I am kind of looking to move on to some other designs, but if demand warrants it I might do more of the 1's.  Well, he didn't say anything about the L2.  I really enjoyed the L2 & DSHA-1 side-by-side when they were both here.  Radio_head was kind enough to loan me the DSHA-1 for 3 weeks while Doug sent over the L2 for two weeks.  Both are marvelous sounding amps and a bargain at the asking price.  I no longer have the HD800 with me, but both amps work wonder with my R10 & Qulia.  I almost pulled the trigger on the L2, but decided not to b/c I already have the Gilmore Reference Balanced.

spritzer Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 This is the problem of not being in it for the money, the will to do something new always outweighs the will for more money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubliss Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Great, I got the last one so can sell it at an extreme markup as a limited edition super secret special sauce amp (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 This is the problem of not being in it for the money, the will to do something new always outweighs the will for more money. Very true, and applies to many other aspects of life.

dsavitsk Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 This is the problem of not being in it for the money, the will to do something new always outweighs the will for more money.  Indeed! At least for now, the plan is to do a small run of Black Diamonds. I am just investigating some machining issues right now, so hopefully they'll be ready this fall. Work has also started on a DSHA-2, but I haven't even prototyped it yet, so it is probably a winter or spring thing, if it works at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
