What I understand it is again based on V200 layout.
I expect a super V281 in a more elegant case.

 

[Fegefeuer]

yeah, it's kinda like a supercharged V281

 

[roskodan]

It sure is, at least for what they managed to push noise wise.
Shaving -12dB off the v281, which means they managed to get -7dB lower noise than the v200, a single ended amp (balanced rises the noise floor).
And -6dB is basically half the noise. So -7dB less than the single ended v200 is crazy!

For better or worse Lake People just lost the sale of a V200. Niimbus, even if misspelled, is way above my budget but now I must see what develops. And I have to say unlike the V281/V220 the Niimbus looks really nice,,,not to mention what it might sound like. I am minded of Goethe's poem The Man Who Named the Clouds.

I don't know, maybe there are some "standards" in a people minds how the high-end device should look like, but personally I like how V281 looks

 

[stemiki]

Also for me V281 has beautiful aesthetics

 

[Lavcat]

To each their own. I prefer how the V200 looks. I may yet get one, considering the Niimbus is so much more expensive.

 

[roskodan]

Well apple and oranges, v200 is rly minimalistic, my choice. v281 is as compact as it gets, to sit on ones pc desk, not my type look wise tho. Niimbus clearly needs it's own space.

 

[noplsestar]

Seeing the pics on the first post, I too think that V281 looks more unique and therefore more my style, and the Niimbus more looks like a pro amp I see everytime I was in a studio. But as said, to each their own.

 

[Fegefeuer]

finally some pictures (check opening post, also check the spoiler for a few shots of various details) of the real deal, ready for the Munich High End Show.

 

[zhgutov]

Do you know what is the maximum input level this amp can accept?

P.S. Glowing volume pot looks really cool

 

[roskodan]

Whatever,
