New Member - Solo ULDE enquiry

Hi Everyone

I've a Naim system at home and am looking to upgrade my headphone amp, a Headline 2 fed from an old Olive Hicap. Although I love my speakers, I’m finding I’m increasingly listening to headphones these days, especially with the lock-down and consideration for my neighbours.

I’ve just arranged under the Loan Program to audition a Solo ULDE and Lautus cables and am very much looking forward to hearing how it performs in my system. I first heard mention of this headphone amp on another forum and have recently read many great things about this piece of kit. Thank you John, for arranging the loan for me.

I’d be very interested to hear if anyone else hear uses Naim and Graham Slee products? Do the two brands generally work well together?

Similarly, my main headphones are Focal and I wonder how they will match with this headphone amp? Focal and Graham Slee a good match?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
John

Hi Mick
I plugged the Solo in yesterday afternoon and spent several hours listening in the evening.
It started a little lean from cold but was definitely improved in the evening. Looking forward to seeing how things improve over the weekend

Hi Mick
The Solo appears to have no problem driving my Focals. I think they're relatively easy to drive. I've on occasions plugged them into my iPhone via a converter jack and the phone seemed to get a reasonable volume from them. Couldn't say the quality was that great but then it is only an iPhone and no real match for my proper hifi...
