Analog Design Labs - Tube Amps from Korea

Interesting - wish I could read Korean.  Are these up for sale yet and do they ship to the US?

They certainly look very pretty.  I would be very interested in reading how they sound.

Just copy the url into a google search, and you can easily translate the pages.

AS far as I can tell those amps are not exactly cheap at 1000$ or so.

Actually, if you install the Google Chrome browser on your computer and use that to browse these, or any other  foreign website, it recognizes the language used on the site, and asks you if you would like to auto translate.  If you say yes, boom the whole thing is there in english or whatever native language you like.  Closest thing to a real bablefish I've ever seen!

              Output Mode: Balanced Transformer Floating Output

              Dielectric Strength: Input / Output 3KV Galvanic Isolation

              Maximumoutput: 700mW / CH RMS / 40 Ohm  / 400mW / CH 8-16 ohm Speaker (soeumryang BGM Listening)  

Looks like the Prelude would be ok for driving something like the T1, or HD600/HD800, but I would be a bit suspicious of its ability to truly properly drive an AKG-K701/702, or HE-5LE, or LCD-2.  They would have volume, but as we discussed, the quality of the sound might be compromised for those cans.

The Svetlana2:

 Maximum Output: 500mW / CH RMS / 40 Ohm 
                               200mW / CH RMS / 300 Ohm
             Output Impedance: 16 Ohm - 600 Ohm 
             Suitable Headphone Impedance

             Low-Z (25 ohms - 62 ohms)

             High-Z (300 ohms - 600 ohms)            

The Svetlana:

Headphone output; 350mW / 600 ohm
                                 330mW / 300 ohm
                                 200mW / 120 ohm
                                 100mW / 40 ohm

                                   80mW / 32 ohm

                                   50mW / 16 ohm
