    I think the remote was used for their new AIOs as the remote has upsampling at the top, which is not something the V281 can do. But, it is a really nice remote. I don't use remotes, my system is all right at my fingertips. I am not the listen on a chair away from my system kind of listener...

    Arthur added a couple of pics of the remote to his website at power holdings, so you can go to the Violectric page and hit the V281 Re-Issue link and you will find some pics of the remote there. Sorry, when I go to upload photos in the comments it is asking for a URL and I am too tired to...

    Not sure how to send a picture in the comments. It is machined aluminum held together by magnets and you open it with a paper clip through the back. Says, Niimbus, Vio and Lake People.

    Review by 'geoffalter11' on item 'Violectric HPA V281'

    Because of Arthur at Power Holdings, I was given the opportunity to spend a few weeks with the Violectric V281 Limited Edition. Over the past couple years Arthur was getting blown up by customers looking to buy a V281. To enjoy one of the first really great amps of the early 2010's. When the...

    Review of Meier Audio Corda JAZZ with ƒƒ-technology upgrade

    I use a Core Technology USBe Perfect. I use the Soul's USB and my USBe Perfect into my Roon NUC and then from the Soul into the NUC. The Soul's USB is better than the Roon NUC's USB. The sound is tremendous.

    Review of Meier Audio Corda JAZZ with ƒƒ-technology upgrade

    I absolutely love my Corda Soul MK2. The sound is effortless and full musicality and every aspect of the design and sound are thought of. I have yet to find a headphone that doesn't pair well with either XLR output and as an AIO I have yet to hear a better sounding unit. Even the Bartok Apex...

    Great Review, Peter! Easy to read, fun to read, and extremely educational while bringing the reader into the seat of the reviewer. I particularly loved your section on design, and especially the section comparing to the HP8. Congratulations and job well done! You more than did this beautiful...

    You are welcome for the tubes... It is my pleasure. As for power filtering and conditioning, I use a PS Audio Dectet going into my wall socket and then all pieces into my Dectet. For my Roon NUC I use a Sbooster LPS for that, and then an Ifi Power X LPS for my Ethernet Switch. All aimed at...

    I heard biggest flavor changes with the driver tube as well. The EH 12AX7 that comes with amp is crap. The power tube change is way more subtle from my recollection. David Shaw would be smiling right now and would say told ya so. He used to tell me that the amp wasn’t built for rolling tubes. He...

    I know. I actually gave money to the ALSPCA for about 2 years. I got roped in by one of their commercials about all the dogs that were dying. It was so sad. So, I donated $20 a month for 2 yrs to their cause. I felt I had done my part and it was now someone else's turn. They still send me...

    He also happens to be one of the most generous people on head-fi. He shares what his extensive knowledge and is very crafty and strategic about the tubes he buys. It would be easy to be jealous of his tube collection, but it is years in the making so kind of hard to fault the sharing of such an...

    Violectric HPA V281 - Vorsprung durch Balanced (September 2023 Update: Limited Reissue Edition up for preorder!)

    I have been struggling with how the V281 presents bass with my Code X. Here is the first song where the V281 keeps up with the pace of the band on my Code X. This might not be for many of you, but the bass just moves in a such a great way creating a fast and lucid pocket and the songs timing...

    How could they not? You are talking about perhaps the greatest and one of the rarest of tubes Western Electric made, one they only made for about 8 yrs. The fact PSvane has decided to make the tube is wonderful, but I can only imagine how good those NOS 205Ds sound. I imagine them to be...
