Hi there If you do a search for m8161 nothing comes up unless you do a search 'Worldwide'. I always do this looking for tubes as postage on these is usually very small. I got 4 EL34 big bottled Electo-Harms for £8.30ish post from USA. Also try a multiple search using this string in...

Hi there Looking for some recomendations for a good all round can to go with a Zhaolu 2.5 with the discrete headphone amp. I listen to mainly rock but some country as well. I have Senn RS120s at the moment..will I get a noticeable improvement in sound quality going for the more...

Hi there I have a Technics SL-PS900 and want to improve sound quality. After long investigation I'm about to plump for a Zhaolu 2.5 ( poss a 7.2 ). However just before this a previous thread re sub $400 DAC or CD units sparked the obvious question "What level of dedicated CD player...

The Citypulse seems to haver a lot of good comments but I was wondering between the two as I will be using mainly headphones ( Grad125s ) over speakers. Is there any clear difference in sound quality between a Zhaolu armed with the discete headphone amp section and a standard Citypulse 7.2...

Hi there Seen these on ebay..would they be any good with Grado 125s http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hi-Fi-6p13p-CL...QQcmdZViewItem many thanks Neil

Just reading reviews saying the 6P1 version sounded better than their Little Dot ll and another saying it outperformed other small amps through the headphone jack http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...hlight=yarland and was thinking is this 6P14 as good as the 6P1 through the hphone jack...

Hi again Duggeh and thanks for prompt reply before, is the quality of the headphone out good...I'm looking to get tube sound/quality out of a headphone socket and was thinking this amp fits the bill ? cheers Neil

Hi there, I'll try to keep this as simple as poss. I currently have a Technics SL-PS900 through a Yaqin MC10L tube amp and Celestion Impact 40s...and a pair of Sennheiser RS120s . With kids on the way my listening is now going to be headphone biased for some time to come...so... I'm...

Hi Duggeh, I've been looking at these for a week or so now for driving my Grado125s and have been puzzled as I cannot see any headphone jack on the ebay pictures. Can you confirm if there is one and where it is ? many thanks Neil.

My DAC came from Zhaolu without being modded...QC issue..possibly...not an issue really for Zhaolu as I'm sure its a very small % but you'd think all units would be tested before leaving the factory leaving only transport to damage and would have to be quite a jolt to break a board connection (...

Hi Paul, Thanks again for your help...mine's still going fine. Crossed wires a little ...I bought mine via Buyoyo.com....I'm sure from all the posts on this board Eddie does a cracking job. It is a fab sounding DAC and I'm delighted its working at the mo thanks to you..if it goes off...

pmkap, your bang on ....sadly !!! so much for quality control from our far eastern chums.... Well were do I go from here....is the problem the main pcb or the DAC...is this a possible diy fix or a shop.....sending it back to Hong Kong is a no no.. going well at the moment though....some...

I've just received one of these from Hong Kong ( sorry ). It works when I connect to the phone-in sockets but all I get is loads of static and a faint sound of music when connecting via a digital coaxial or toslink. I'm using various DVDs at the moment as transports and using PCM and...
