August 5, 200620 yr comment_16018 Justin - can I take your post as a sign that new module development is going smoothly? Report
August 5, 200620 yr comment_16022 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!! Report
August 13, 200719 yr Author comment_42589 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.

August 25, 200719 yr comment_45845 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 Report
August 25, 200719 yr comment_45855 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. Report
August 25, 200719 yr comment_45858 oh come on let him focus on the harmony portable already! Portables! We want a real amp. Report

August 25, 200719 yr comment_45905 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. Report
August 26, 200719 yr comment_46072 Yes, and it kicks serious ass. And it seems it will be called the Pico. Get in line! Report

December 28, 200718 yr comment_82064 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. Report
July 8, 200917 yr comment_253086 My understanding is critical parts for the new modules became unavailable Report
July 8, 200917 yr comment_253096 jeez...I saw this on the first page and I thought Justin finally got the new modules out.. Report
