Icarium Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Well it's here and set up. Many thanks to foo_me who hauled up mine and his unboxed up (Craig needs to get the boxes redone since they promised him they would fit USPS size limits, but lied). Guy blew 2 tires on the road up and had to squeeze his sister and her belongings in a mini-cooper as well.... I owe him big time. Well here are some point and clicks.. sorry I have no skills and a point and click. It's the best headphone amplifier I've ever heard even unburnt in. Listening with the Spectral and balanced Audeze right now.. about to switch to K1K via the 4 pin. I'll post more impressions later and possibly a review which I've been meaning to do for the Audeze as well.
zippy2001 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Dan, Congratulations, that is indeed an awesome amp. Is the tube in the middle crooked or is it just the camera angle? I heard Foo_me's and it is great. I want one but my wallet keeps saying NO.
Icarium Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Yeah its a bit crooked. I adjusted it shortly after taking the pic.
Torpedo Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Nice amp Icarium, enjoy it And share your impressions hehehe.
n_maher Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Congrats Dan! We'll be feeding it some new input tubes in no time.
Icarium Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks guys! I hope yours is out soon morphsci! I think he said a week or two for the new boxes since the box dudes messed up on the international usps size limit dimensions... I think it's simply too big to get one box for both parts so now they are doing a 2 box set up. Though Craig mentioned one guy (Though I think he said Michigan) is sticking with the gigantor box.
falkon Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 that's such a piece of art! love the knobs. congrats!
Voltron Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Cool Dan! Is that smaller box on the left the one that holds the wall warts? I hope to hear it soon, as we have discussed.
Icarium Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Yessir. I'm going to do a little thing at my place weekend after labor day weekend if you/jp can make that. inviting a few others as well.. but again if Min is willing (if not I'll bring mine) let me know when's good for you and I'll make the trek up for the epic battle! Fear more wall warts.. thankfully I see some little tubes in through the vents, but maybe they are camou
grawk Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 The weekend after labor day is my minimeet, perhaps you could bring the zana to that
tkam Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 The weekend after labor day is my minimeet, perhaps you could bring the zana BA to that fixed
Dreadhead Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Congrats Dan! I really enjoyed that amp at CJ you are a lucky bugger.
screaming oranges Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 It's curious how photo angles affect the way the amp looks: Were it not for points of reference in the pictures, I'd swear that in the first two pics it looks like the tube portion slants backwards!
foo_me Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Yessir. I'm going to do a little thing at my place weekend after labor day weekend if you/jp can make that. inviting a few others as well.. but again if Min is willing (if not I'll bring mine) let me know when's good for you and I'll make the trek up for the epic battle! Fear more wall warts.. thankfully I see some little tubes in through the vents, but maybe they are camou I'm game for anything depending upon when. sigh...still haven't tested it at home yet. Hopefully, I'll have some brief listening time this afternoon. Really need to hear how this version sounds with the hd800s!
morphsci Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks guys! I hope yours is out soon morphsci!

Craig is checking how much shipping will be using the gigantor box. If it is not totally ridiculous, my amp gets shipped using the sample box on Monday.
Aura Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Craig is checking how much shipping will be using the gigantor box. If it is not totally ridiculous, my amp gets shipped using the sample box on Monday. Eddie/Moth party at my apartment! Charleston to Peoria is only what, 2 hours?
morphsci Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Eddie/Moth party at my apartment! Charleston to Peoria is only what, 2 hours? Make sure there is room for Ryan. He'll probably be waiting on the porch when it is delivered.
Aura Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Make sure there is room for Ryan. He'll probably be waiting on the porch when it is delivered. Yep. I found out this past weekend that I can fit roughly 20 college drunks in my living room and small ass kitchen, so we would do alright I think .
n_maher Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 I hope you don't let the drunks within 20' of the Moth gear!!
