Thanks for this impression of the use case for the Jot R. Have dusted it off (had put it away when I picked up the HSA-1c and the Hyperion Ge, purely for space considerations) and plugged it back into the audio chain. I am fortunate to still have the 8 foot Deluxe cable (copper/silver) which was designed for use wth the Jot R (iirc). While I await the arrival of the

Well, you have some great amplifiers already so the JotR is keeping elevated company. At least for me it is a great option when I do not want to heat things up, and it is the most transportable of them all as well. I must say, I really enjoy the Magna off this little amp. Happy listening.

I noticed Kiats mentioned using the deluxe cable with Jot R and the new phones. I might be wrong here but I thought I read somewhere that the original deluxe cable wasn’t good with the new phones. I’m really not sure so thought it best to raise it here.

Not good for use with Interface, but good for direct drive amps. JotR actually requires that cable's resistance, inductance and probably capacitance to work it's best.

You are too kind. The Jot R brings a different tonality to the table. And, for me, that is key. Having a range of different sound signatures is a nice option. Similarly with how I have a different range of energizers for Stax earspeakers.

Absolutely! @Aleksandar R. will remember that I had many questions when I first picked up the SR-1a and then the CA-1A, with the JotR, before moving on to the HSA-1C and the TI-1b. And he will be glad that I have learned well about the matching of resistance, inductance and capacitance of different cables with the different direct drive amps and interface boxes.
