The TTVJ SLim has plenty of power-- I even use it with AKG 701 and anything more than half way on the volume attenuator would blow my head off! Todd has a thirty day return policy so it is a no risk deal to try them out.

I don't know much about the innards of this little amp but certainly its tube- ish sound is something of a marvel! And for the curious I did ask Todd if the unit I actually purchased was burned in and no it was not. He said burn in does make a difference but it is subtle. I'll say! Of course...

I don't mind the brightness of the light but i can see how that might be a problem for nighttime listening. You are so right a out the gain switch! As I said in the review, the good news about the gain switch is that you couldn't possibly switch settings by accident. The bad news is that is...

Well I'm sure the review unit was burned in, the question is was the one I purchased burned in as well. I may email Todd to ask him that! As for tubes i don't believe this amp has any, so no damage worries there.

That would explain the scratches -- but then again, I could be tin eared!     Thanks for your kind reply!

I was fortunate enough to get on Todd's review list for the TTVJ Portable (Slim), tried it for two weeks with my UE11Pro and AKG 701, and promptly ordered my own unit!!!!!   Cutting to the chase:  oh baby, I LOVE this amp!!!   First let me say that when it comes to serious listening, I...

I'm about to write a full review of Todd the Vinyl Junky's Portable (slim).  I use it with UE 11Pros and the pair is amazing!!!!!! It tames the UEs so that the sound is full but neutral, not boomy.  Mids are delicious and there is serious thump as well.   I can't imagine a better pairing...

I vote for the Total Bithead: amp and dac combined, and a fantastic value to boot. I use mine with UE11Pros. Are there better/more expensive options? Probably/absolutely. Am I happy with the Total Bithead? Yesssss!

Thanks for the info!!

Hi Todd! I just sent you an email to see if you can add me to the program! I'd be testing them with UE11Pros and AKG K701s.

Is there an on/off "thump" with the ttvj slim? Also, does the volume adjust down to Low once you remove the 'phones -- so that you can't inadvertently have the volume too high when you replug the phones in? I'm interested in preventing blowing my eardrums out (I use UE11Pros). Also I assume the...

CablePro makes the Earcandy Lite version with a much more flexible wire -- $120 or so but worth it.

I've had people stop me and order me to tell them what I have in my ears! Electric blue UE11Pros with a custom lightning bolt design -- and they match my blue Nano perfectly! Sadly, while they have been noticed, it doesn't happen NEARLY often enough!

Wow I must have been just plain lucky but both my UE115c and UE11Pros fit perfectly with zero refits. I have been told I have "perfect ear canals." Who knew?
