RACK-ing NUFORCE ICON HDP + AMP (s)
« on: 21 Apr 2010, 08:25 am »
Received Icon amp.

I discovered that keeping it vertical is not quite appropriate - tends to flip over (same for HDP).
Using the two feet that came with HDP and the AMP, I placed them horizontally :






Jason

- what about offering a sylicone rack for people using both HDP & AMP(s)  (HDP & 2 x AMP for biamping ??)  like in these quick sketches :

AS IS (not stable - in the above photos I used a band to tighten up both feet) :



A Sylicon Casing (horizontal) :



A Sylicon Casing (vertical) :



Maybe the casing should have 3 compartments  HDP & 2 x AMP  ??

I almost forgot to say that this tiny AMP is great !
It will easily drive most 8 Ohm, 86-90 spl sensitivity speakers !

Cheers !

 :lol:  Great idea.

We are working on some sort of interlocking L shape bracket to connect them.
A DLNA (uPnP) streaming client in the form of Icon is coming soon so there will be a need for stacking up to 3 units.

What feature will the DLNA (uPnP) streaming client have? I am thinking about getting a logitech squeezebox touch but maybe the DLNA streaming client from NuForce is worth a look too.

Are those the New Sennheiser HD800? How does the Icon sound with them?

Yes. Within my main rig I use HD 800 with Violectric HPA V100.

Icon HDP is intended for use on the move (I travel a lot). The HD 800 and the Icon HDP is surprisingly good combo. It comes close enough to Violectric V100 HPA i.e. it is damn good, especially considering the HDP miniscule size and weight...
and I think Violectric V100 is definetelly one of the best amps to drive HD800 or T1.

I want to get a Icon amp but would like to get an extra amp stand so I can use it vertically like what is being shown in the pictures in this thread. 

Anyone (hopefully Jason) have any ideas on how or where I can get an extra amp stand?

Thanks for your help on this everyone.
