    thanks Sebastien, i'm very much looking forward to trying out some PlusSound cables in the comfort of home, i've only ever seen them briefly at events and have always wanted to get to know them better.

    Introducing the xDuoo TA-20 Plus - Now Available on Apos Audio

    i haven't noticed any hum at all, but i've only used it with my thieaudio monarch mk3 and cayin ru7 dac. a hum could be caused by interactions between the unit and either your dac or transducer...or my setup could be removing the hum cuz i really don't have much equipment to test it with

    Introducing the xDuoo TA-20 Plus - Now Available on Apos Audio

    i'm only using the 4.4 connections rn, i don't have much experience at all with rca or xlr connectors. The whole look is very classy, including the volt meter. With my iems, monarch mk3, at about 25-30 volume, it hardly moves, gets a nice little bumping visualizer effect up around 45-50 but...

    those photos aren't doing that cable justice, it's the best looking most stylish cable out rn, imo. the way it catches light is wild

    Effect Audio Presents - Give for Good Lucky Draw

    generally, i only support direct charitable giving, as organizations tend to make a living off the existence of the problem they claim to fight(and therefore profit off the expansion/worsening of the problem)...habitat for humanity does good work though, recycling building materials at their...

    Introducing the xDuoo TA-20 Plus - Now Available on Apos Audio

    just the first listen, so far...but it's definitely a wider soundstage and blacker background, i think i need to do the proper tube rolling for a fair comparison cuz the new chinese tubes are known to not be the quality of the soviet or older american tubes it's also a good bit more...

    even still, the bundled connector is ~50 by itself, so 327(what it cost me, tax depends on where you're at) + 2 weeks vs 339(289 + 50) + 3-4days(ups ground is the free shipping on musicteck), 12 bucks saving for waiting 10 days extra...maybe not worth it, maybe is if you don't mind the wait

    i just hooked up my ta20+, input is the cayin ru7 and driving thieaudio monarch mk3, all using the 4.4mm bal connections...i'm getting a very black background, no noise i can hear there at all. to be fair the mt604 is the only other tube amp i've ever owned(also a hybrid w/ transistors on the...

    the israeli guys selling it on ebay bundle it with an aftermarket $50 usb-c interconnect free(same price everyone else is selling it for), you just wait a couple weeks for the shipping, was well worth it imo

    Introducing the xDuoo TA-20 Plus - Now Available on Apos Audio

    I owned the mt604 for about a year and it performed very well; was really solid build quality and forward thinking design, though i did swap the tubes immediately. got one of these ta20+ otw. looking forward to this comparison myself, as i was very seriously considering buying another mt604...
