Thank you for your time and consideration. I love these reviews guyz! I wish I had more money....

Looking for an amp to go with my used hd800 I just bought. I'd like to keep my budget under $300. Would this be the best choice? Or would I be better off going with a non-hybrid like a darkcvoice or little dot?

Really want to see how this compares with liquid carbon

 

[Fox2twenty]

Check out the reviews. Sounds PERFECT for Senns.

I just came back to head-fi and this is a crazy good price for a Cavalli product.

Yes it is

Amen on the comparison to the Liquid Carbon, I have a v1, very curious (probably do not need another low price Cavalli amp).

This is very nice! My only reason for not buying it depends on its shipping date.

True. For massdrop, that's a thing to consider.

Also wonder if this will sell as fast as first run hd6xx.

I think it has potential, but the power supply is likely the weak point here. I bet a DIY PSU can be a good thing for this amp.

Great price!

Thanks for the early reviews guys
Good price for Cavalli

 

[Odin412]

Exciting news! It's unfortunate that it's made in China rather than in Austin, Texas, but I guess that's the price to pay to get the Cavalli magic for $250. Kudos for including an XLR socket even though the amp is single ended - a nice touch that I've seen on all upcoming Cavalli amp models. Need? No. Want? Yes. Order? Probably.

Wonder how does it match th900

That's probably true. It's a 28V unit though, and although I have several linear PSUs here, none of them handle that rather unusual voltage. The tricky part would be finding a quality PSU that still makes sense from a price perspective. Still, the thing sounds darn good even with the stock switching supply.

Wonder how does it match th900

I've got a Fostex TH-X00 that I'll be trying with the CTH as soon as I get a chance. So far I've had excellent results with HD800 and HD650/HD6XX, as well as Ether C. The HE1000 seemed pretty decent, but not nearly as good a match as the others. I've got many others to try and will report back when I can.

Anyone use the Utopia with this thing?

Not really in need of a new amp but at this price point would be fun to experiment with some tube sound again.
