I really doubt it is bombproof.

if it makes you feel any better. i had an M901 and M902 headphone amp and thought the M901 sounded better. I also thought it looked cooler and was better build. thumbsup

The smaller sorts of bombs.

I like the new look.

I'm so glad they tackled this. Been a problem since KISS came out.

Why do they claim "built-in power supply!" as a benefit. GML doesn't have internal power supplies now does it.

[Tomer1]

Some designers say that keeping the powersupply out of the pre is better (less possibility for introduced noise),
I guess they dont belive its true.

Hi,

I have owned pair of 101's for a few years. Both power supplies had wiring issues. It seems the wiring right by the base of the power supply started to show wear by the 5th month of road use. Jamie over at Grace sent me replacements PDQ.

My guess is they list it as a benefit because it was a common complaint about the previous model...and it is more convenient if it doesn't affect the unit sonically.

And if you look here and read the description for GML's 2032 you will indeed see an internal power supply listed as a benefit...

[peeder]

Sometimes those internal powersupplies don't introduce noise to the unit they're in, but they do introduce noise to the unit racked above or below (the toroid's orientation is to emit the interference axially rather than radially).

Try racking an API A2D right next to a Chandler LTD-1. I'd rather the API had an external supply as the Chandler does.

[joelpatterson]

This is all about the convenience of plugging a power cord into the back, noise be damned, isn't it not?
