Salt Peanuts Posted August 5, 2006 Report Posted August 5, 2006 Justin - can I take your post as a sign that new module development is going smoothly?
KenW Posted August 5, 2006 Report Posted August 5, 2006 Yes indeed, Justin. How goes it? With these results, can you give an estimate on when the new modules will be ready to go? Another balanced contender!!
justin Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Posted August 13, 2007 im still holding out hope that Linear Systems releases the new parts this year. it would still be possible to go on using the individual Toshiba FETs, matching them and bonding them together. Per amp channel I am probably already putting in 25 times as much labor compared to most op-amp based amps, with 50 parts including 12 transistors that need matching, even more on the new modules, and I have to draw the line somewhere. The Linear Systems part (the one that is available now) has been measured to be lower gain than the Toshiba so that may require some circuit changes if the overall gain isnt high enough for the negative feedback to do its job.
Killercrush Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 Justin, thank you for your fast response, I see there's some light at the end of the tunnel. Also, with the upcoming new modules, would it be possible to have a GS-1/X with black casings and silver faceplates and vice-versa as an available option ? (I saw one of your GS-X prototype in the So-Cal Meet and I must say it's a real beauty, much better than having it all black) Best regards, Julien
hYdrociTy Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 oh come on let him focus on the harmony portable already!
Killercrush Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 Aren't flagship SE/Balanced models more important than portable devices ?! I do think so but with all the waiting he has to source the fets, he does has some time to finish his last portable design... You should focus on a new source too hehe, well... me too I guess.
Guest sacd lover Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 oh come on let him focus on the harmony portable already! Portables! We want a real amp.
hYdrociTy Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 Portables! We want a real amp. portables is where the moolah's at
Guest sacd lover Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 portables is where the moolah's at Very true. :'(
Nanoha Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 I want that Harmony or whatever! 1. I want a DAC 2. I want a DAC with USB 3. I want a USB DAC w/ upsampling 4. I want a USB DAC w/ upsampling that is portable 5. I want a good headphone amplifier 6. I want an upsampling portable USB DAC w/ a good headphone amplifier I say the Harmony or whatever is perfect for me.
Iron_Dreamer Posted August 26, 2007 Report Posted August 26, 2007 Yes, and it kicks serious ass. And it seems it will be called the Pico. Get in line!
PFKMan23 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Posted August 26, 2007 Yes, and it kicks serious ass. And it seems it will be called the Pico. Get in line! I want a finished pic first, but yah it's damn good.

Might as well ask for a bigger penis and a rich supermodel wife while you're at it.

HiWire Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Any news on the new modules? I strongly considered the updated GS-1 when my amp died. It's a neck-and-neck race between the GS-1 and CI Audio's VHP-2 so far.
grawk Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 My understanding is critical parts for the new modules became unavailable
XXII Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 jeez...I saw this on the first page and I thought Justin finally got the new modules out..
MASantos Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 jeez...I saw this on the first page and I thought Justin finally got the new modules out.. x2!!!
