The Latest from Light Harmonic
Larry Ho and Gavin Fish of Light Harmonic fame are hard at work on a few new projects under the “LH Labs” moniker: Geek Out and Geek Pulse.
We’re excited about these projects and what they could mean for getting hifi sound on the go (in conjunction with a good pair of headphones, of course); so excited that we’ve backed them on Kickstarter and on Indiegogo, respectively.
The Kickstarter campaign for Geek Out is over, but you can still get in on the Geek Pulse on Indiegogo, an awesome little desktop DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) and headphone amplifier. It will even have a fully-balanced option for those of you who have invested in a pair of balanced wires for your headphones and/or a balanced signal path for your hifi.
We’ll keep you posted as these projects mature.
Keep listening!
