Have not been to Germany since the Berlin wall came down. Doubt they are looking for back taxes on me.

This looks like a SERIOUS headphone amplifier. It’s loaded. Looking forward to your thoughts. [emoji1303]

It is a very serious headphone amp. They say good things come to those who wait and I was drooling over it for quite some time. When Violectric USA announced a 25% Black Friday sale, I could not resist.

I ordered it loaded with the custom ALPS RK27 High-Grade motorized volume control. The remote control is very nice, I'm constantly rolling or getting out of my chair to adjust the volume but not anymore! The other advantage is the Motorized ALPS replaces the RK27 with a custom made 128-step relay-based unit, with .75dB intervals between each step.

Designer Fried Reim states this version "produces the best channel balance, step precision, absence of distortion, and minimized crosstalk."
