April 30, 200818 yr Open one of headrooms new monoblock amps and you'll likely find something very similar. Kinda thought you might say that!
April 30, 200818 yr You'll also find them in some Bel Canto amps, the D sonics and some others that are not coming to me right now.
April 30, 200818 yr I also don't think the prices are out of line at all. You really have to see the headroom amps in person and listen to them to appreciate their quality. I have always considered them underappreciated, especially on HF. I am also very interested in the amp stands, especially now that my new desktop speakers have arrived and are awaiting set-up.
April 30, 200818 yr You'll also find them in some Bel Canto amps, the D sonics and some others that are not coming to me right now. I think the Bel Canto's use a different module. Headroom opted for one of the lower power modules since nothing on your desktop is ever going to need the 1000W that the Bel Canto ICE amps are rated at. IIRC they've licensed various forms of the tech to folks like Rotel and others so they're all over the place at this point.

My point is, if you wanted an ice module based amp there are plenty of choices. The D sonic stuff in particular seems fairly desktop friendly spacewise, although way overkill for desktop speakers.

Anything from single-channel small form-factor amps like the ones already mentioned to multi-channel HT stuff.
April 30, 200818 yr No worries, he's already stuck in Canada. But he'll be in Florida on Friday. I'm only a little worried.
April 30, 200818 yr I'm hoping they sound good too since my next project is this: B&O 50ASX2. Nice. Let us know how you like them. I have heard the Jeff Rowland amps and they sound pretty darn good. Made in Colorado Springs to boot!
May 1, 200818 yr There's just no room for them so there's no option to add them unfortunately. No room you say? Tyll, you can just mail me the check. You have my address on file.
May 1, 200818 yr Author I was actually looking at the Balanced Desktop the other day and thinking to myself, "gee, I wish there were some loop or preamp outs on the non-DAC version."

May 1, 200818 yr Nate, I sure hope you got more than one of those modules /U. What, you think that I'd find something missing if I only had mono?
May 1, 200818 yr Well, erm... yes... Anyway, let's know how you like them when you finish - maybe you'll manage to persuade me to start on mine as well /U.
May 1, 200818 yr Here's what I currently have, but I just think it's a bit...big . Don't know if I can live with just 170Wpc on my desktop though, I am kinda used to 230 by know Front: (cd for scale) Back: (cd for scale) Sorry for the OT-hijack /U.
