REVIEW SUMMARY: A ranking of 32 tube and tube/hybrid headphone amps
Quote: Any idea when that might happen? I love the Lisa III and am very curious to see what Triad would make on a larger scale (particularly with tubes). As for my little experiment, using the Zvex breakout box with my 300b speaker amp, it works REALLY well! I initially...- florestan

REVIEW SUMMARY: A ranking of 32 tube and tube/hybrid headphone amps
Quote: Just to clarify, we are discussing the breakout box and the ImpAmp as separate components, and the possibility of using the breakout box on its own with a speaker amp (that doesn't already have a headphone jack out).

Quote: yeah, i know . . . though I believe this one makes it two this year! well, i mostly read reviews by others before buying stuff. I guess I was somewhat surprised that the Imp has gotten so little press (particularly as a tube headphone amp). just wanted to give it a plug and...- florestan

REVIEW SUMMARY: A ranking of 32 tube and tube/hybrid headphone amps
For those of you that like to play with components, the Zvex ImpAmp with breakout box is a great little piece of hardware (and allot of fun). I have matched it with a HeadAmp GS-1 and, alternately, a Lisa III as pre-amps and have really been impressed with the sound of both combinations. It is...- florestan
