Hi All, It's Fred from Prana Distribution. As there are a number of scenarios floating around, I thought I would take this time to provide some input. Firstly, why Zoom Info believes we're in the freight forwarding business I can only guess. We've never been contacted by Zoom, nor have we...

woops, can't seem to delete this.

If this doesn't go through, let me know. Does it have the warranty card?

Yes, Trafomatic (trafomatic means 'transformers' in Serbian.) rolls their own iron and has been making some of the most challenging amps in the industry for 20 years. The Head 2 is wonderful, but the Primavera is an entirely different beast designed around the premise of driving the most...

They are lovely. I used to have the Solistino and the Egoista. Really great kit.

Here's a new headphone amp. It can also be run as an integrated if you get the additional OPT's that are meant to sit on the floor (each channel's output transformer weighs over 90 pounds.) it's also a cool way to run the RAAL...I had my OPT's wound specifically for that task as well as...

Josh is just one of the coolest guys you'll ever meet...and an absolute artist.

What a great picture. I think those are Eimac 100tl's and definitely Eimac 304tl's. In push pull, those would give you quite a bit of power. More voltage than you might want swimming around your head : ) The 100tl was a favorite SET answer for a few top makers for a few short years. Jeffrey...

Regarding headphone amps that can power Stax and other ESL's, Dieter Mallach (Mal Valve) makes some pretty compelling designs as well. He actually makes a full compliment of tube gear, a turntable and even magnetostatic speakers...including magnetostatic bass drivers. He also runs HiFi Deluxe...

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm a bit of a headfi.org idiot to be perfectly frank. I did email a friend with a lineage of experience on these pages looking for some advice...but yours seems spot on.

A few possible points of interest for CRBN owners. Steve Guttenberg of CNET and Sterophile has stated time and again that the best sound he's gotten from his Audeze headphones is from a Mal Valve Head Amp Three headphone amplifier. After years of development Mal Valve has released the 4th...

As a point of interest, Mal Valve is now making two amplifiers that can power the Raal SR1A ; the Mal Valve Head Amp One and the Mal Valve Head Amp Five. These are two relatively new headphone amps that sit atop the Mal Valve line; the Five being the new king of the hill, so to speak. They...

We're currently deciding what distribution will look like for Mal Valve. It will likely be a satellite situation where their headfi is concerned. We don't have someone picked out for Socal just yet.

A few possible points of interest for the Stax Lover. Mal Valve now has 3 headphone amplifiers to drive Stax, other electrostatic headphones, dynamic cans, planars and in the case of the new Head Amp One and Head Amp Five, the RAAL SR1A as well. Adding to the well known Mal Valve Head Amp...

Bravo!!

Glad you're enjoying the Head 2. Love your turntable and headphone choices. i hope one day you have the chance to hear the Primavera...if only for it to serve as a reference to where the Trafomatic sound can go. if you ever need an integrated that can drive any headphone, the Trafomatic...

Mike Powell made us some cables that have really brought out the best in our Susvara rig. !! I don’t know if he plans to market them for the retail market or not...and I don’t know what he’ll charge, but if you have a balanced system, you’ll want to audition these...Verastarr (probably not for...

I love this amp. Saw a few on A-Gon...wondering if we should carry it in the future. Perhaps we should when we start up the new biz.

Ouch!! Of course one would hope to never encounter this with any product, much less one that could be a game show prize...I imagine Andy (if you purchased it in the US) or Fang would be all over this. I know Fang loses sleep if he thinks one of his pieces is out there and not working as...

Yes, this was one of the headphones used to voice this amplifier, along with the Abyss, and Final Audio Sonorous X. The goal being to be able to drive the most difficult loads with ease, dynamics and nuance, while also being able to drive the easiest loads (like the Sonorous X) with absolute...

Very nicely holds two cans. Not always easy to find a nice stand that doesn't cost silly money.

No link yet, but I'll forward one as they update their site. However, this is a production model, simply a new one. The headphones puts out 10 watts at 50 ohms. As mentioned the output tube is the 811.10 It is called the Head 3 in keeping with Trafomatics previous headfi amps. I think it...

Okay, here's my new reference headphone amp. The Trafomatic Head 3, sporting one of my all time favorite tubes the 811-10. it weighs a ton, but what it does to my Susvara and my Utopias is taking all my time.
