thought I'd add to this. I bought these off Amazon US recently as well and mine are also made in china. Here's my rant: http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A1LXNINX89NTY7/ref=cm_cr_pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview   same deal as original pic, has a made in PRC sticker on...

  Interesting, I have a pair of Q701s and normally have the volume sitting around 2 o'clock/75% (zero gain) and they're much lower impedance than the hd650s 

just got my Q701s in the mail from Amazon. I paid $230, but they're made in china :( - I can't really fault the build quality or stitching, so I guess it's not really a problem. Now the 100hr burn in process begins... 

I finally brought my T1 home and was able to do a direct comparison against my lexicon plugged into the same computer. Of the two rocket tubes I have, I prefer the one with the star logo as it has punchier bass. Tighter sounding, I guess. As I understand, people prefer the plain rocket logo tube...

I'm listening to some van halen hdcd remasters in foobar using the WASPI plugin and it sounds quite good on the T1. Compared it with my lexicon dac, and tbh I think the lexicon sounds cleaner. Maybe I need new headphones :D

so after quite a few hours of listening, I can't really tell any difference between the stock chinese tube. I think maybe the rocket one seems a bit more open sounding. Almost like the vocals have less volume, but other than that no difference for me. The 1 min it takes to swap tubes and warm up...

Excellent news, I need a 220-240V power adapter :D

woo hoo!!! just got these in the mail: 2x 6N23P / E88CC / 6DJ8 Tubes. NOS plugged it in already and listening now.

I have a pair of these I picked up from Dicksmiths for $8. They sounds ok, but pretty muffled compared to my V6s, but yeah, $8 vs $60. Build quality is crap. They used the cheapest plastic they could find and the fabric ear pads get dirty quickly, but they sound ok and have decent bass. I use my...

Quote:   Thanks for the feedback and recommendations. I ended up going with that rocket 6N23P in link you posted. 2 tubes ended up costing $25AU delivered, and I figured I can probably sell one locally for $15, as some people don't want to wait.    I pretty much listen to all types of...

Actually, I didn't buy the upgraded version and my stock tube is a 6N11 Chinese tube. Most people seem to think this is pretty meh? I'm looking at a 6N1P-EV which I can get for about $1.50. Like you said, maybe my ears aren't good enough to detect any change, so I'm not keen on spending $30 on a...

Hi all, I've been monitoring this thread for a while now but only received my silver T1 in the mail yesterday, so thought I had better post something.I won my T1 on ebay for $130US delivered(I'm in Australia), but forgot to check the power pack when I bought it, so it came with a 110v power pack...
