there's a poll on top of the thread

pict it's plain beautiful (much better from real , it shows a very clean job )

how much would it be upgrading to balanced.. For what i see , it misses only two modules and connectors btw I seeing the gs-x inside pics it seem very similar ( if not the same ) of the reference balanced , with the addendum of separate power and gain switch..

thanks btw the short edit time is quite an issue in this forum for me at least delete "balanced" anywhere you find it

for me is definitely too short , I would leave it open for about 24hrs. ( personal ) .. but even going 10/30 minutes would help me a bit when correcting my posts

now if you say that the balanced is a "fine" amp you really shock me .. the balanced better this sound.. I mean it's not the first nice amp I've got.. frankly I can't imagine a large improvement over this amp behavior .. apart of the mids thing I've yet noted ( not that mids aren't good, they are but maybe suffer a lill topping of roundness and sexyness , mainly for voices ) maybe it's not even worth to get it balanced for the cans I'll prevalently use it with .. (:sending a omg mail to the seller:)

it's not balanced .. it's reference but not balanced indid ... wrong title wrong thread wrong my ass posting balanced.. ( :run away to contact the seller:)

I know , the balanced reference has only rca-in ooh I have to upgrade..I hoped I could have lived happy for a while .. returning to serious world, this amp (rca wise headbabies) kick some big and serious ass down to first floor

it's incredible the virtues of this amp are putting my head to rest , and ears to pacifically drool over it. this amp is easily the best amp I've come across , it's absolutely linear smooth outraugeoulsy extended at both ends , it gives the most effortless presentation , while keeping the bass solidly firm and never an inch out of the picture . It's solid state , but other then this it's difficult to tell it has transistor related character , which is a very good thing . It does a very nice job with ps-1 finally . Bass and bass to mids frq.s region are both very smooth and very well rendered ; there's a great sense of deepness , coherence and authoritative control , and these are melt very well togheter in the sound too . The main problem for ps-1 should be now source match - so imaging the situation I've opted to get my system a Meridian over a Wadia , that was former first love . It does a perfect job for hp-2 , they're singing out every last bit of their virtues , these cans never chase to amaze me . Fact with hp-2 was , even if building up a thick dry and solid -not overpowered- bass, they miss the lill low region vibe that sometimes makes music more a joy :looking to ps-1: . I would ( and will ) strongly advice any hp-2 owner look at HeadAmp top of the line products for amping the hp-2 . It do a great job on all the frq. spectrum , and moreover synergise on this aspect that's peculiar hp-2 . It lacks the final bit of mids roundness for them though , so I see where's a melos could say " I'm better" in front of it. It's definitely sold state , but that's the best of the best of the best solid state I could imagine to plug my cans in <- insert cans orgasm here . disclaimer Gs-X owners can't partecipate the thread don't have much time to take pics at the moment , but will do as soon as the G07 lands and pairs it

Thanks for the report .. quite skeptic on your findings though . wasn't it unburned maybe ?

imso Vinnie has just gone thourgh anything possible andit's likely the mod the 4g it's the best option

What i hear is bit of congestion / undefinition in mids & upper&mid bass , and a typical mids to highs harshness that's usually related to the fact electronic is un-burned. I'm confident things will change in 200hr. Thing is I don't see how this player can go compete with any of my home units , as it is clearly not in the same tier .

I want to tell also that the sound I'm hearing is quite far from the astonishing good raves I've read around about

just received my i-mod yesterday and got it running now.. what to say .. at the moment even the panasonic ct-470 player sounds better and cleaner . there's a very nice ( high ) amount of digital glare and harshness on highs , that's probably time to let it burn

I'm interested as well in them as even if they looks extraordinary similar to hd-25 in function , they suggest (lookwise) a more impactful bass and more mellow mids . ah

hu do you have something to do with Vincent Gramain ?

to rock , or not to rock ..

disarming humility are you in a rush for "most honoruable and honest vendor of the year" or what ? jk , thanks for answring

yeah I wasn't sarcastic or ironic , I read jude and old pa' ( in fact I was asking really how can it be ) probably is a combination , better parts united to even slightly better designs or better design approach can really measure even more then substantial improvements on small integrated peripherals my guess

I find it quite frustrating too I hope for a new governor ( less taxes , more rights , blabla and top of this , longer edit time please )

OT gorilla on the rocks

what balanced rocks

what rock

if I can ask how can it be anytime there's a new version the changes are so substantial ? I mean, it's always ( and remains ) a tiny designed very low price higly integrated amp.. ( that's appealing! ) .. anyhow what's substantially change inside ? that can sort out such good new result , that is a significantly better signal behavior - out of a such tiny package - ? thanks for outing this

do you like it much more over his predecessor ( sq wise ) ?
