General Information
New to Shanling's line of tube powered headphone products is the PH300 integrated headphone amplifier. The PH300 features a preamp section using 6N16B tubes with SRPP circuitry, two buffered outputs built around two Texas Instruments TPA6120 high bandwidth current-feedback amplifiers and an ALPS Type 27 potentiometer with 0.5dB accuracy for volume control. Headphone output is provided by two Neutrik professional sockets. The CD and AUX inputs and preamp output use “audiophile grade” custom CMC RCA jacks.
Using the amp just on headphones (top end Bose) it demonstrates it's capabilities, one thing I noticed is how much it shows up poor recordings, which I always take as a clue to fidelity.
I'm really pleased. No regrets at all, even the customs charges were reasonable.
