fuwen 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 New Headroom portable headphone amp. Advertised in Stereohile Nov issue. The advertisement is now available in headroom website, but not much details yet. Runs on 4 AA batteries, 2 headphone outputs, clipping indicator, audio image processor switch, a much nicer apparence. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 It looks wierder than the outgoing Airheads. For those too lazy to download the pdf file from their website. Here's a link from Head-Fi: Tyll Hertsens announcement on the new AirHead & BitHead Also noticed this from the website's updates page: HeadRoom’s Top Portable CD and MP3 Player Recommendations iRiver Slim X 350 – CD/MP3 Player iRiver Slim X 400 – CD/MP3 Player Nomad Zen MP3 Player Apple iPod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q00 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2003 weird is the word.... am not convinced of the design though... looks more flash than substance... please note that i do not know anything about amp designing but that is definitely something i would not get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Scorcho 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2003 Fully agreed: weird, i.e., non of the things Hertsens said makes any sense to me. Will look at the PDF later and comment, but based on first impressions, I sure ain't gonna spend my money on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2003 Yup, knowing what I do know now that's true but wouldn't it be nice to be able to audition the MOH or Stepped attenuator Blockhead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q00 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2003 is it true that some of the models are actually cmoy amps?.... if it is then i think they are overcharging heh.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2003 Their amps (even the airheads) have DC to DC converters in the designs that alone is already different from the CMOY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
