Gilmore Lite MK2 here

The Gilmore Lite MK2 is a fully Class A amp with a clean, simple feature set and dual RCA inputs. In my setup it sounded more compressed, with reduced dynamic contrast, and it noticeably pulled the HD 800 stage inward. It might still be a “flavor amp” for the right headphone, but it wasn’t my favorite here.

Pros

  • +Fully Class A design
  • +Two RCA inputs with a front input selector
  • +Smooth volume control feel and straightforward layout

Cons

  • -More compressed presentation versus Asgard 3 in my A/B testing
  • -Reduced soundstage on HD 800 (stage collapses inward)
  • -Less dynamic contrast (micro and macro) compared to Asgard 3
  • -Much higher price than Asgard 3 while I preferred the cheaper amp
