oh okay, ya he sold off his audinst because TTD is a better amp than the audinst and he got tube poisoned by me. =p

no problem, just contact him again to arrange for an audition. or you can wait till i go KL in Dec.

hahaha yep its a solid state, but amp/dac combo selling at usd499. the big big DAC that you listened to in my room is also from Audio-Gd.

hehe enjoy your DT880. i'll let you know when the NOS tubes for the TTD arrive in KL. can almost guarantee you a upgrade in sound. heh heh at least nobody so far has complained.

hahaha its about time you change your display picture already, Aztoi.

evilnickwong,

1. get the 80ohms version.
2. get the 250ohms, try with your soundcard, decide later if you want to sell the DT770 or buy a new sound card.

if you have no plans to get a headphone amp or new soundcard, i would suggest just getting the 80ohms version.

try posting in the jaben thread to ask 'em.

i think the D1 headphone out is SS, only if you use the tube out then you'll make use of the tube buffer stage.

Google for Darth Beyer. You also can change the enclosure to wood.

DT880 /250 or DT880 /600 or T1. don't fight it anymore, bro... or you want to try T1 with TTD again? hehehe and i've got the v2 of TTD now, with even more power than the v1.

never heard of this amp before leh. pictures! solid state or tube?

oh ya... how's your dark voice?

i've not experienced any hissing on my ttd v2. when do you get the hissing? when there's no music playing?

hehe, that's only with the stock tubes. think of all the fun you can have when you start rolling the tubes to experience different signatures.

check your PM

no bass boost.

the tubes that i am using for TTD cost about RM70 although i've just ordered two which costs about RM150 each.

ordered but not yet receive them.

@FaezFarhan, like what aztio said, each tube has its own signature, so it depends on what kind of sound and signature 'improvement' that you are looking for.

me personally i like warm and lush tubes, so i pair my T1 and TTD with tubes from Brimar, Mullard or GE/Sylvania.

however i've gotten tubes telefunken and amperex this time just to roll and see what kind of sound they give me.
