one thing i love about D1 amp is u can use the SS amp or u can feed the pre-tube amp to your SS amp. just the case u need to find another amp so u can use the pre-tube amp. in my case i use stepdance for that matter.... sounds heavenly.... brows.gif

and the D1 amp itself is no slouch either...

mind if i ask where'd you get the tubes/opamp
itchy to upgrade my d1, felt that i need to listen to new sound sweat.gif
have you tried pairing your d1 with other amp hmm.gif couldn't find a 2nd hand stepdance sweat.gif
i'm using dt880pro/32ohm but mostly with hd650
any suggestions? too bad i don't live in selangor/kl area can't visit jaben and get poisoned blush.gif

cheers.

tube and opamp i got it at ebay. thou opamp shouldnt be hard enough for u to get over here also...

hahaha bro stepdance is portable amp (in case u didnt know) but with proper power (im using 9v or 12v thou if u  can u could go for 15v for its maximum power) i would suggest u to get a proper SS desktop amp... then u'll be surprise how it can shine the SS amp and adding that lushness of tube sounding... u have both worlds lol...

hd650+symphonica cable+selvin prototype amp = WOW!

the burson is just too far sad.gif saw someone selling the corda concerto though i wonder how it sounds

selvin's amp were built from scratch if im not mistaken. maybe copy some DIY amps schematic but added some of his/his partner's own twist of formulas.... not sure.. but its really good.

ur beyer is 32ohm should not be a problem if u buy fiio amp... or better still the CMOY amp. just buy LOD and u will be amazed of what u have been missing lol!

corda concerto is analytical if i heard it correctly.... (i did test it briefly) but got wide soundstage just like stepdance.

either portable or dedicated amp, one thing for sure is both will give u the benefit of giving the extra umph for ur music.
then again budget also need to be take into consideration.... sleep.gif

Source : Ipod Classic
Equipment : D-Zero with PFE121
Requirement : Portability, detailed and soundstage (wondering how amp improves soundstage tho, mb bcz sound is more dynamic)
Budget : RM1K ~+/-

Besides, any RM1k good tube amps to intro? Hehe.
