    Hi, I am selling this great Arcam rHead amp. True linear class A, 2W @16 ohms, build like a tank. It has switchable XLR o RCA inputs and offers both 3.5mm and 6.35mm output. I can only justify one desktop headphone amp and the Arcam has to go find a new home. The original packaging is...

    Hi I am considering selling this excellent desktop small amp from SMSL, model sAp-8. It has both balanced and unbalanced inputs which can be switched at the push of a button. It sounds fantastic, warm and detailed. Probably not enough power for the likes of planar headphones, but plenty enough...

    I was also wondering if using the T2 headphone ouput as a line preamplifier was safe and apparently it is, especially considering its gain of x1. https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/headphone-outputs-used-line-outputs-for-line-level-gear/

    I found some technical information on a diy forum which might be of interest to those who own the T2 or similar amps.. Quote: Originally Posted by rich1051414 Lots of tube preamps(low voltage with buffer) are coming out lately, but I don't like the chinese tubes in them, those tubes aren't...

    I continue having fun as it occurred to me to use the T2 as a kind of "tube preamp" between the LG G7 and my new Graham Slee Voyager. I honestly can't hear any degradation or distorsion of sound even when using the T2 full scale without attenuation. Of course the Voyager is miles ahead of the...

    Since this is an hybrid tube amp I agree swapping tubes has not made a big difference, yet the differences remained audible. To my ears at least it seems that the tubes are providing some character compared to pure SS offerings and this is exactly why I like this little amp: reliable like a pure...

    With a bit of care in the implementation, I find it easy to enjoy this amp. Currently back on the mullard. As a bedside set up, having the 3.5 jacks on the front makes it sooo convenient. For fixed desktop use, I would prefer rca in the back though... The amp seems to be running without gain so...
