    Since it's for our newly upscale userbase, the amp cost will be $5,000 and includes a carrying pouch for your monocle, hand stitched by a hipster in the mission in SF.

    I see you are claiming 100 Amps total (not per channel). That's pretty bold claim to make for a power supply this size. ;)

    Hi all, since the BW is a SE amp with a balanced output, I wanna know if we use those easy-going-balanced HPs such as HD650, would we get a better result from its XLR jack?

    No, it really is 100 Amps each. Didn't purrin say that you can use a BW to power a dozen or so hair dryers at once? One day, every hair salon in America will have a BW. It's all about lookin' good, soundin' good, and rockin' with your locks out :headbang:

    So Craig decided to take the Helvetica font off the front panel after all? The picture on the EC website is of a clean front panel.

    Has anyone tried the HE-6 with the black widow? My guess might be its not enough to take full advantage, but didnt know if any MK I owners had any experience.

    Either way looking forward to the release and replacing my Lyr 2 with a much more musical amp.

    What am I missing? The picture on the website is the same one Purrin posted months ago (see quote above - attachment 1753). The picture posted a couple of days ago is a picture of the chassis, which he mentioned they have a ton of.

    I see, I must be looking at the wrong pictures or wrong website.

    Edit: the picture on EC's website changed on me in the last 15 min or so. Weird

    Web cache.

    The stupid helvetica font will still be there. I merely posted what would be possible if you scratched out the lame font.

    Every time I buy gear me and the wife go to the round table. Took me months to pull off the BW deal. If I'm lucky ZDS by the time I retire.
