Muahaha. I'm No.6!

Urgh. Time to close eye and buy. Had been stalking this amp's production for nearly 1.5 years already. laugh.gif
Maybe I should tattoo myself with a 6 too. biggrin.gif

i seriously think u shall hold your horse of selling the philips hp9000 and MS1..
from my experience. this secret amp match "quite" nicely with Ms1 and my philips HP1000.
=X
i owned both headphone too.

Advise taken. smile.gif
Plus, people had been giving me pretty low offers.


Hopefully my ex-employer pays me soon so the pain in my wallet will be alot lesser.
PS: Needa get my MS-1 and Koss recabled soon. laugh.gif



@Walabies: The pictures don't indicate the final mass produced design of the amp right? biggrin.gif

LOL Scottie,you never fail to make me smile.
OTOH, I think this amp deserve a proper website and pro quality pics. Perhaps Walabies/Yuheng should get a DSLR and take some sexy photos.

Hopefully the public debut like mentioned above will materialize and folks will be able to catch a glimpse of the amp itself.

Actually, surprisingly, to some extend you don't really need DSLR to take above average pictures. biggrin.gif *working as a reviewer taught me some of that*
Just good lighting, locationing and a very good focusing camera will do the trick. *chuckles*


Can't wait for the amp release though it'd leave me with enough for cup noodles for the rest of the month! *laughs*

PS: scottie.. Where are you from ah? lol

To address to your question Kyl3, the cable isn't included in the price of the amp itself. biggrin.gif
(well at least, that's what I was told)

Good thing I have funded enough for the amp, and extra. Bwahahahahaha!!! Maybe I should get bacon salt after getting the amp. laugh.gif

Alright guys, my short impression review. smile.gif

1 word.
Grab this amp guys while you can.

My MS-1 was enhanced with more depth, slightly more width in its soundstage, but the separation and the depth is just CLEAR! The overall presentation is much more musical, bass is very well controlled here, doesn't goes over the top but it gives the low range a nice kick with a little bit of extension, low-midrange has significantly became a slight tad warmer, very immersive soundstage.

Had a short SHP9000 test wth it, results are about the same as above, however couldn't further test it as I have a small volume knob problem. (SHP9000 bloody hard to drive!) But hey, will be meeting up yuheng to hopefully get this fixed. biggrin.gif And to get my PcWork cable next up. brows.gif

All done with gain on high and secret on the left (when you're facing the secret switch)


ADD: Will get on more information once my amp is pass the 100 hour mark, hopefully I can get my amp fixed before that though. >_> Burn in time at the moment is about 12 hours. smile.gif

Sh*t.


I am not sure if it's just me or what, but the amp seems to have been "opening up" after 20 hours of burn in. Now it's sounding much more spacious and transparent, especially between the vocals and instruments played.

I would love to offer myself to help out on audits actually. smile.gif Sadly, my amp seems to be having a slight bug on it when will require some fixing. Doesn't do the amp any justice to be auditing my amp at the moment. >_<
