Just curious if anyone has tried it. https://www.modwright.com/products/ha-300-headphone-amplifier/

The TLDR is that I keep finding roon sounds better than plex/plexamp on my pi2aes. Same streamer but roon is just better. Any idea why? Details of my findings are here (including many pissed off Plex users that don't buy it)...

He is a fairly well known builder out of New York period he mainly makes low power speaker amplifiers but I wondered if anybody has tried his amplifiers with headphones. If you have what were the results please share.. thx

What is your favorite tube amp for vocals / mid range ?

What do you like for EL34 amps ? I would say EVO 300 sounded like magic to me with my headphones.

Thought I would make a thread on the ETA O2 headphone. I just got a loaner unit and was so impressed with it I purchased it. I am not done my full review yet but thought I'd share some impressions. This is a very light and unassuming diy looking headphone so I didn't have high hopes but I was...

https://www.erzetich-audio.com/products-charybdis/ Didn't find a thread on these so thought we could make one. Anyone hear them ?

Any thoughts? No specific price range. Right now I enjoy ambient most on my hd800S with tube amps.

I know many people use elekit amps for headphones (off speaker taps or with front 1/4 inch connector). Has anyone tried the point to point 300b amp he sells? https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/sunvalley-sv-s1616d-300b.371736/

Tube headphone amp (among other things) maker in Canada. https://www.space-tech-lab.com/Headphone_Amps/Headphone_Amps.php He has good ratings on Canuck audio mart but haven't ready any reviews of his products. Anyone with experience? I asked him to show internals but he refused :(

Built Crack OTL and love the sound (no upgrades or speedball).. moreso than my Elekit tu8600S, audio gd he9 and even my ARC ref 5se + pass x350.8. I want to continue to explore this warm euphonic mid forward 3d holographic sound. I am going to get in another Crack OTL already made with speedball...

https://www.etaheadphones.com/product-page Thought I would start a thread about this headphone. It is made by a team that believes in very high performance at affordable prices. I have not heard it personally... anyone with experience with it? Our group Sonic Visions did do an interview with...

As the title says, this thread is dedicated to ultra thick, lush and rich tube headphone amps at any price. Ideally its an amp you really enjoyed. Feel free to share the headphone you liked it with.

I just got elekit tu8600S and I love the amp but I'd like to try something that is a lot thicker and warmer. Don't want to spend too much, ideally under $1000. So far people have been telling me to just grab a crack. Also I hear Elise is pretty warm too. Any thoughts ? Thx
