  Wanted to test the waters with tubes for the first time so I ordered these:

https://www.amazon.com/Nobsound%C2%AE-Vacuum-Integrated-Amplifier-Headphone/dp/B014FASL1A
 
Ugh, I must stop spending money on this hobby...If this keeps up, I'll be buying the next Orpheus instead of paying for a roof to live under...
 

 

Cheap and cute.
I approve.

I totally read it as "noobsound". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same! And I knew the company in advance!

I was just thinking: these guys really need someone who understands English not just in terms of grammar theory, but also culturally. I've seen many very very weird Chinese translations, and I speak Chinese, so I know very well how nice it sounds in Chinese...

I approve.

Too cute! Now, if I can find a solid, square case and a matching glad block with two holes for the tubes, I can make a Woo audio WA7 knockoff~

The WA7 looks so pretty and minimalistic I'm sure it's not hard to make knockoff cases...

;~;

I guess I'm a secret otaku then...

Only if you are stuck in the house all day due to overconsumption of (preferably Japanese) pop culture.

How are they?

Apparently there is a wolf spider running around my room in circles, swinging/taping it's front legs on the ground like crazy.

I did a quick check, and it seems that right now is the mating season for spiders like this one in the region where I live.

...

In other words, it seems like I have a very horny spider that's trying to get laid in my bedroom.

anyone know where you read raw manga online?
there's a couple of series where the scanslation group dropped the project

 
 
kindle eBooks won't even let me buy a manga without a japanese IP address.... just shut up and take my money damnit!
 
in the end I bought it from Rakuten kobo, my dirty gaijin money seems to be valid there.

All these "tube headphone amps" sound pretty much like ass. I don't get the hype behind the indeed g2/g3 based amps (and this is one of them) that's just done over (apart from project ember)
 
I'm just exaggerating as the tube hybrid amps are not bad as headphone amps. But it's not particularly powerful. At least it sounds pleasant. I'm just kinda miffed that they are overhyped.
And real tube amps too. As I always say : Get a real amp. Tube amps are nothing but an waste of money.

I wanted to do the same thing with an acrylic block but I realized I don't have a drill bit that's the size of that goes in evenly from top to bottom...

Haha.

To be honest, I am getting them more for the looks and for playing around with. I don't need any more amps. Looking at Chinese forums and Chinese teardown videos, Nobsound is known for making fake tube amps in the past (not hybrids or anything, but truly fake tube amps, where the signal doesn't even pass through the tubes). This one does seem like a legit hybrid (but what do I know. I'm no electric engineer, and many people on YouTube claim these are fake and are not true hybrids, too). I actually wish more people can talk about this specific amp I ordered, as there are so few reviews... :/

But I don't need one, so I don't feel like spending that much. :/

Again, I'm literally getting it for the looks, not because I want a well made tube amp.

Little Dot is affordable.
If I were to get something for the looks, I want the big azz tube amps like WA2 and such.
