“Given how good the Reference already sounds, it’s unbelievable that Wells Audio will be releasing a Headtrip 2 Reference which will include an improved board and upgraded resistors (pricey Vishay “naked” Z-Foil) in the entire signal path. These hand-built resistors provide a very clean and undistorted sound with no ringing. In addition, expensive Rike copper foil paper-in-oil capacitors, apparently the best sounding capacitors on the planet, will be placed before the circuit board and Rike copper foil-polypropylene capacitors will be placed onboard. As far as signature, transients are sharper, cleaner, and more refined with polypropylene while paper-in-oil tends to sound more earthy and natural. The combinations will hopefully provide the best of both worlds. I intend to review the Headtrip 2 Reference so more details will follow.”
