April 21, 200719 yr So is that the power supply? That is silly -- power supply 3x the size of the amp itself. But silly in a good way. I want one. 's'cute.
April 21, 200719 yr Now if we can just get those old high voltage mercury batteries, then the thing truely would be portable...
April 21, 200719 yr The other thread at Head-Fi said it would be in the $949 range. GULP! Okay, it's all about the guts and performance so to hell with the price. Anyone got specs on this little mighty might? Think Mikhail would do a custom length on the umbilical?
April 21, 200719 yr 950??? they must be pulling your strings . i"ll ask Mikhail today. I couldn't think why a small transportable amp would be made to cost that much, especially when it competes in size (with PS) with the mpx.
April 21, 200719 yr As I said at head-fi... I just don't get it. I'm with you. Until he's got at least a similarly sized power supply to go with it (battery or otherwise) I don't quite understand it's purpose. I'll hold further comment till after the official details are announced but it would seem to me a very hard sell at near $1000.
April 21, 200719 yr I think it was $949 for the one in the pic...with the crazy PS. Apparently there's a less expensive PS in the works.....but yeah at that price if it doesn't outperform a PPX then why bother?
April 21, 200719 yr but yeah at that price if it doesn't outperform a PPX then why bother? I was thinking the exact same thing
April 21, 200719 yr As I said at head-fi... I just don't get it. Because it's small and it's cute, and HOLY SHIT IT PLUGS INTO AN IPOD!!!!!
April 21, 200719 yr Because it's small and it's cute, and HOLY SHIT IT PLUGS INTO AN IPOD!!!!! Dude, if it comes with a matching ALO dock I am fucking in! Biggie.
April 21, 200719 yr Author Dude, if it comes with a matching ALO dock I am fucking in! I'm only in if it also includes the free hat. If you look up "sweetness" in the newest version of Websters, it just shows this hat now.
April 22, 200719 yr I'm only in if it also includes the free hat. If you look up "sweetness" in the newest version of Websters, it just shows this hat now. Lol PostJack, you inspired me to enter a new entry into UrbanDictionary.com: Sweetness Definition: What noobs over at the head-fi forum call ALO Cammo Hats. As these nubs become more experienced with the forum, they come to realize that their cammo hat is not in fact sweetness, but actually incredibly lame. Some of the worse off head-fiers get beaten up at school over their ALO hat after being asked by their classmates what ALO is, leading to the kid mistakenly pulling out his $150+ ALO wire (worth $10 in parts) and totally alienating all of his friends. Note that there are no real girls on head-fi, so only teenage boys are at risk. Example: Dude, my new ALO hat is total sweetness. Biggie.
April 22, 200719 yr It's practically as big as a ppx3 and you have to plug it in. WTF is the point? I wish he would finish his current orders before unveiling new stuff.... -.-

April 22, 200719 yr I saw this yesterday but didn't have a chance to listen to it. The pot, as with the ones in his new "squarewave" amps is rather rough. Also the unit runs extremely hot, to the point of feeling pain when touching it only for the briefest interval possible. It has to be over 70 degrees celsius.
April 22, 200719 yr One of the biggest and emerging problems is the head-fi international meet. Vendors are now virtually required to have new products at this show and are now driven by this yearly thing. So instead of coming out with rational new products when they are ready, many things are hurried along, sometimes putting current customers on the slow track so that more time can be spent coming up with new product that may or may not make any kind of financial sense...
