    It does seem to have sunk without trace somewhat. Reviews would be interesting, given that the pricing puts it squarely against the Jotunheim.

    By the way, the discount code 15THANKS gives 15% off, if anyone is actually in the market for one.

    Well, the first run of these amps just recently shipped. Any reviews that would be out there would most definitely be heavily influenced by "new toy syndrome" anyways.

    BTW it doesn't have to be a Jot killer, just hang well while being a different flavor...

    No-one said it does have to be, just that's going to be the elephant in the room when punters are looking to spend $399 on a solid state amp. It's going to figure heavily in any mental comparisons, given that it's such an obvious competitor.

    I do secretly want it to be surprisingly good, as an alternative for people who'd normally end up with a Burson or similar, FWIW.

    If its of the same ilk as its ancestors, I wouldn't see why it wont be.

    But I'd love a tour of this. There are so many people here that have or heard a Jot. How can we not have really good info of the two...

    I'd certainly be curious to compare this amp to my old HeadRoom Desktop setup. HeadRoom products never really seemed to get much attention for whatever reason from what I noticed. Any idea what that was about? HeadRoom was my indoctrination into the world of headphone amps, so I was kind of sad to see them step out of the business a few years ago.
