DIY ITrip amp

DIY ITrip amp 06/16/2004 11:58 AM
This fellow created an interesting amp design for an iTrip. Boing Boing reader Ian Meyer says, " He said that it would probably be capable of overpowering broadcast stations for a small radium (ie: enough to blast some Queen in place of the hippity-hoppity music that the guy in the car next to me is listening to loud enough to be heard for half a mile)."

The $350,000 Amplifier: Wavac SH-833

The $350,000 Amplifier: Wavac SH-833 08/16/2004 08:06 AM

What does a $350,000 home audio amplifier sound like? Fucking awesome, apparently, which made me cough a little exhalation of relief as I was reading Stereophile's review of the Wavac SH-833, the third-of-a-million dollar amp in question. I don't know from audio, really, but I know what I like, and that's vacuum tubes, lots of them, all visible and glowing, and the SH-833 has those in spades. It also has stuff like direct-heated-triodes and single-ended, class-A tube monoblock power, but I don't know what the hell those are. But when Michael Fremer says the SH-833 is the best sounding amplifier he's ever heard - the bastard got one installed for two months by the engineers who created it - I'm going to just have to believe him, because otherwise, I'd have to believe all those stereotypes about audiophiles being overly susceptible to buying ridiculously overpriced gear, and then my whole reality would come crashing down around me.

Oh, and for the budget conscious, there's a $70k bargain version. But could you ever show your face at the ball wearing that? (Thanks, Adam!)

Sharp SM-SX300-H Amplifier

Sharp SM-SX300-H Amplifier 07/28/2004 10:58 AM

I could tell you all about this new Sharp SM-SX300-H amplifier's delta sigma chips and 256-bit oversampling, or maybe regale you with stories about its copper chassis, gold-plated connectors, and it's Ohms -- oh lord, does it have Ohms -- but what you really are interested in is the fact that it looks very shi shi and costs about $17,000. Why? Because the inside is filled with solid gold pudding, and developing non-conductive golden pudding is the sort of science that doesn't come cheap.

Simpl A1 iPod amplifier

Simpl A1 iPod amplifier 03/23/2005 05:20 PM
Simpl Acoustic's A1 high performance headphone amplifier is an audio component designed to enhance the iPod user's experience by providing the necessary power to support high-end headphones. The A1 can be used to amplify any audio device with a stereo mini jack connection to provide increased volume, better bass and refined details though its amplification circuit that is specifically designed with high impedance headphones in mind. It has a recharable lithium ion battery that can be charged through USB port located on the side of the device and by using the A1, iPod playtime is significantly increased because a lower iPod volume setting saves battery life. According to the company, the device should increase the iPod's battery life by about 20%. Battery life for the device is listed at 16 hours with a 2 hour charge time. Attaching securely to the iPod using podGrip technology, the A1 uses Simpl technology that will not mark or scratch the iPod but anchors the device onto the iPod for a stable, immovable hold. This strong hold also makes the A1 slightly difficult to get off of the iPod. The device features an audiophile-grade amplifier that provides deeper bass and clearer highs for all headphones, and has enough power to efficiently drive the "most demanding headphones." By using the device, the iPod uses a lower volume setting that in turn gives the iPod increased playtime and battery life. To use the A1 it needs to first be fully charged through the computer using the included USB cable. After charging, the volume of the iPod must be completely lowered, then the A1 can be attached to the back of the iPod. The mini cable can then be attached from the A1 audio-in port to the iPod's headphone jack using the included cable. Headphones can then be plugged into the A1 and it can be powered on and used. The A1 is compatible with all full-sized iPods but will not work with the iPod mini. Because this amplifier has its own internal battery, the A1 is a little bulky and heavy to carry around in addition to the weight of the full-sized iPod. If the amp and iPod are being stashed in a backpack then the extra bulk and weight isn't really noticeable as it would be if it is jammed into a back pocket. Spymac highly recommends Simpl's A1 to those looking for an iPod amplifier who have high impedance headphones. The A1 can be purchased for about $140 from MacMall, JR.com, Magnolia, ClubMac and Amazon.com. Specifications: Output Power: 0.5W THD: 0.05% Frequency Response: 10Hz-22kHz Signal/Noise: 110dB 2.6"W x 3.3" H x 0.7" D Pros: Increased volume Excellent sound Great battery life Increases iPod battery life Cons: Strictly for high impedance headphones Bulky If your company has a product you would like Spymac to review, please send an email to news@spymac.com.

Looks like Griffin Technology has released a version of the iTrip specifically for the iPod mini which they're calling, unsurprisingly, the 'iTrip mini.' The iTrip is an FM transmitter for the iPod which lets you broadcast to pretty much any FM station you want via a sometimes kludgey 'frequencies as songs' interface. No matching colors, though, as the iTrip mini will only come in white, topping your mini like a stick of deodorant. Still, I have an iTrip for my iPod, and besides the aforementioned interface weirdness, it definitely gets the job done. Griffin is taking pre-orders now for $40 and expects to ship in July.

iTrip mini Ships Early 06/11/2004 08:17 AM

Good news for everyone that pre-ordered an iTrip mini, the FM transmitter from Griffin Technology that is designed specifically to work with the iPod mini -- it's shipping a month early. How often does that happen? Well, I mean, I guess there was that time when the solids residue from that batch of 5,6-MeO-MIPT recrystallized faster than we expected from the EtOAc/hexane, but I guess, yeah, that was sort of a different trip altogether.

Griffin ships iTrip mini

Griffin ships iTrip mini 06/11/2004 08:11 AM
Griffin Technology on Friday announced that it is shipping its iTrip mini, an FM transmitter designed to work with the iPod mini. The US$39.99 device attaches to the top of the iPod mini and enables users to play their music through nearby FM receivers in cars, homes and elsewhere. The iTrip mini can broadcast on any available frequency, and is tuned from the iPod mini itself. It uses no batteries, drawing power from the iPod mini, and powers itself off automatically when not in use. When Griffin first announced the iTrip mini they said it would ship in July, so this news comes a month earlier than expected.
