N@Z 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2003 If Absolute0 isn't coming/bringing it along, I will. Assuming my trip is on... looking bleak for me as I can't take leave till Feb 2004 due to work place reshuffle (again! ) beginning Jan. Hopefully I can still go during the weekend.

Absolute0 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2003 I doubt I will be going, and anyway I am intending to sell my Supermicro to finance other purchases. It's just incredible how great it sounds for its size, but I don't fancy bringing along a S$300 amp along wherever I go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N3w_Typ3 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2003 Woo so XxX but does the sound out from the amp worth that much ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2003 Factor in the shipping Q00. I'll let you guys know how it sounds when I get to compare mine with my META amp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q00 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2003 Hmm...didnt expect quite a huge jump just for shipping because its such a small thing so it should be light right? Anyway, are the same chips used in both your supermicro Absolute0 and N@Z? Would be quite a treat to about this amp's exploits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2003 Absolute0 uses the more agressive sounding AD832 whereas mine is the more forgiving & warmer sounding AD8620. I'm not sure about Abs0's but my SuperMini v3 last time cost US$30 in shipping alone via EMS. However this time it's coming via Airmail Parcel only since it's a freebie.

Scriberex 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2003 Hi N@z, could you comment on how much the Supermicro improves on the Supermini v3 and the Porta Corda II? I have a Supermini v3 and am curious about what other ultra portable upgrade options are available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2003 Scriberex, as soon as I get the amp, I'll post some initial impressions followed by after 48hrs burning-in & maybe after 100 hrs too. I might be able to do an A/B with the SuperMini v3 if I can borrow it from the person I sold it too. The PCII maybe if it hasn't left my ownership by then. I'll make the comparison using my PCDP & etys only as that will be it's main function, unless someone specifically wants me to use my other equipment. I'm not sure I quite understand what you meant by your last sentence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scriberex 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2003 (edited) H N@z, sorry. I meant, if I decide to get a better portable amp than the Supermini v3 I have now. But pl. don't bother if it is too troublesome. Don't want to put you out of your way. Edited December 4, 2003 by Scriberex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
