No, the Vandys are elsewhere. I am interested in going after bigger game with the Clari-T-Amp, -I really want to hear what a zero noise, ultra fast battery DAC/Tripath amp combo can do with high sensitivity, ultra-musical speakers like Edgarhorns, Orishorns, and some vintage JBL two ways with 15" woofer rigs owned by some acquaintances, so I plan on visiting the owners of these outstanding speakers, SOON. The speed of this thing is unreal fast, and it likely qualifies for waaaay more than a desktop system. ...
Dmason, where in So. Cal are you at? Do you know anyone around your area who has an AKG k1000 headphones you can try on Vinnie's amp? If it works well with K1000, you will instantly have a large potential customers from the head-fi.org K1000 users, me being one of them.Imagine a portable battery powered, class T, K1000 setup on the airplane! If you are near me, I could even offer up my K1000
Have you thought about making two in a monoblock format, A la Gaincard?This amp would pump out at least 30 watts mono, if I am not mistaken, and it would seriously be a threat to other competition out there!
Presumably it will work well as a power only amp when hooked to an external pre-amp?Good luck with the Clari-T Vinnie. You certainly deserve it.
JLM,Certainly my Sonic Impact sounded anemic; but as I mentioned the Teac actually sounds quite rich. Might is somehow have a lower daming factor? as much as possible.
As far as a battery powered transport is concerned, I know some of the portables have SPDIF. I think the next step with this kinda rig would be something like an iPod type player, but what the world and I need now is a battery powered transport.
Dan,A portable player with s/pdif out is an intruiging idea. Whether it would make a good transport in other respects is another question. There was a portable CD player a few years ago that many were claiming was "high-end" so it could be possible and maybe even more likely these days....
