lets just put my last bulk into action, to let u know the influence of tube

i made a bulk, targeted to be only for 5 units, retail sold 1 or 2 units, and then the virus spread like "resident evil", and my bulk became a whooping 15 units, it even gave a stun to suppliers,cause they hardly manage to make 15 on a short notice, but they did, congrats on that. since then, i did not see any of the people who bought that amp selling it off, instead all are showing off~

So poisonous are the tube amps?

it does match well with beyers, no doubt, even on the cheap ones like bravo, rule of thumb for tube sound is warm mid, which is what beyers are good at also, so it's a great match

only if you like warm mids. otherwise you'd find them to be colored with all sorts of shades.

hongrui, what kind of "shades" do you mean? So, warm mids=good for vocals and other lower fq instruments? Bon Jovi suitable onot?

its up to your individual taste. by colored in shades i mean that you won't achieve neutrality, transparency with tubes. not impossible to achieve though, with careful tube rolling and matching, you can still achieve neutrality.

main drawbacks of tubes: loss of PRaT, treble roll-off, lack of bass depth, loss of details and placement.

advantages: musicality, naturality, smoothness and lushness of sound.

i listen to everything with tubes, pop, rock, jazz, metal, orchestras etc etc. ultimately, its what kind of sound you are looking for.

+1. I can't wait to get a tube amp..

I kindda liked T70. It drives easily with most of the amps. Maybe due to its lowered impedance compare to T1. Although T1 when drive well it will fly you up to the heavens, but investment is quite high too.

I also have the same feeling with wilzc . T1 is not easy to find a matching amp. With burson's powerful presentation, it just added the harshness. Try Fostex HP-A8 32bit DAC + amp. It drives quite beautifully just that I cant find enough gain that time.

Agreed, each person has their own preference. Tube and SS is a totally different world.

sorry but i must respectfully say that the HP-A8 is a much much better DAC than amp although the amp is Jaben KL is practically brand new and probably needs a couple of hundred hours to run in although i doubt it will sound like much.

hey guyss,

I'm looking for something very comfortable for long hours & sound quality is given the highest priority. I enjoy bass but not excessively bassy. I listen to a variety eg. kpop, english mostly ballads like Demi Lovato and Adele, Chinese songs. Do you think DT231pro is a suitable choice given my tight budget?

Thanks

should be good enough for casual listeners

Yes, for long hours, not only the comfortable you have to factor in. You also need to factor in the soothing-ness of the music that it offers. Like some sort of 'peace of mind', no piercing highs, no overemphasis bass. DT231pro, yup it will satisfy you.

i got a PM from PCWork that day that he is working on a mod for beyer heads, we shall see how it goes, i'll be the first to support him

DT 880 Pro/600ohm. btw why sometimes my govibe magnum amp produces distortion ah? when i adjust the power cable only it dissapears

what type of mod? cables? Anything for the T1?

i think he modding for the non-socketed DTs, and also finding some cable to match pair

Hmm, is your AC supply stable?

If not please bring it to us to check.

Okay thanks I'll get it while Jaben is still having the bundle promo haha
