| iClubbers – join the Head-Fi exclusive tour of our Pro iCAN now! We know that hearing is believing, so we’re taking this opportunity to give some of our iClub members a chance to spend quality time with our Pro iCan! |
| What’s the Pro iCan, I hear you ask? |
 |
| It’s the first flagship Professional ‘Pro’ series. A studio grade headphone amplifier AND audiophile line-stage. Inside beats ‘two hearts’ as there are two individual Solid-State and Tube amplification sections – selectable on the go. There is literally nothing quite like the Pro iCAN. Headphone amplifier: The Pro iCAN will for many, be used as a top-of-the-line headphone amplifier that drives anything and everything – from CIEMs through to the most difficult to drive headphone ever made, the AKG K-1000. Pre-amplfier: The Pro iCAN has at the core, a Japan Alps motorised rotary volume potentiometer. This is the ‘6-Track’ version with 4 tracks used for a true balanced volume control. This is the litmus test for any amplifier to see if it is truly balanced, or operates internally in single-ended mode. Those using ‘2-Track’ volume controls may offer balanced in and out, but are not true balanced designs. The Pro iCAN however is fully-balanced from beginning to end. Solid State & Tubes together as one: For the first time, one can enjoy both the sound of Solid-State and Tubes in a single package (rather than as an ‘Effect Type’ add-on within an otherwise conventional solid-state design) and be able to switch in real-time. For some recordings and headphones/loudspeakers, Solid-State may sound ‘more lively’. For others, Tube and Tube+ (especially Tube+) will sound more ‘luxurious’. Select the one that sounds best for that particular moment, be it the recording, the mood or even the weather. After all, enjoying music is an experience to be savoured and not a scientific research exercise. |
| Ready to try it out?? All we are looking for in our tour participants is enthusiasm and an honest review – (something we love about our iClub members!) – preferably on Head-Fi.
