That sounds like a grounding issue. Have you tried a cheater plug to lift the ground?

I've got a ground loop isolator in the mix, but before i got that it was still buzzing but with an insane amount of humming too

What is the sound signature of this amp, say in comparison to a ppx3? I like a open, wide soundstaged, and detailed sound...

Wow this thread is huge since the last time I checked it (I think there were only 20 something pages). I'm glad to see so many new people trying this amp out.

dhammavijaya, I'm very surprised you're liking the preamp out. When I tried it, I didn't think anything in the world could sound worse. =T

Probably depends what power amp and speakers you're using.

Can anyone compare this amp to the ppx3 slam in terms of airiness and soundstage?

Thanks

I want to order some M8100 but I want to know if they have to be matched. Does this improve the sound in any way?

Edit: Just ordered some Ulyanovsk 6S19P-V from Russia!

Tube matching is not crucial for a headphone amp. I've bought tubes that were bought unmatched and everything was fine.

Good to see another 332 owner, Omegaman. Jasmine is an utterly trustworthy seller, and a pleasure to do business with. And, yes, threat yourself to the HD650s - they're the perfect match for the 332.

Here's some more pics I found of the DV workshop in Chengdu:

Is there no benefit with matched tubes?

I found a supplier for M8100 tubes that only charges 1,67$/tube extra for matching. Don't know if this is important but the other tubes I've ordered (Ulyanovsk 6C19P-V) aren't matched.
If they are unmatched will one channel be louder than the other or what is this matching thing about, please someone clear this up for me.
Sorry to ask dumb questions but I'm a tube-noob

Don't worry. They will be alright. I've ordered about 30 6S19P-Bs, both ULYANOVSKs and SVETLANAs, and they have been perfect: dead quiet and both channels sounding the same.
