I am looking to make an amp upgrade for my various low impedance (current hungry) cans. The unfortunate truth of it all is that most OTL circuits just can't do anything below ~200 ohms.   Hours upon hours scouring through all the Skylab reviews and impressions have led me to these 3, and I...

Hey everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster here   I'm in the market for a decent headphone amp to pair with a couple pairs of headphones. Right now, I use some low impedance Sennheiser PC 360. However, I recently ordered some Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO 250 ohm, which obviously need...

Should i go with Lyr, Vahalla, Soha II, Jade audio, mung fa... What are your choice and why?   Would a total SS discrete headphone amp be interesting like http://www.headphoneamplifiersusb.com/novoheadphoneamplifier.htm   Of course one day ill step up to csp-2 but for now I'm looking for...

Hi   I'm a newbie to headphone amp and considering to get either Audiotailor Jade (not sure whether this still available) or Woo WA3 or WA6. My goal is to get nice warm sound from the amp to use with my Etymotic ER-4P or Sennheiser HD600. Price wise Audiotailor is the more economical...

 What's Happening All   Never mind the title, I just wanted to get peoples attention. I'm new to Head-Fi and a budding audiophile and feel a bit lost and scared in terms of where to start and at how expensive my new hobby seems to be, respectively. I'm intrigued with tube amps and have...

Hi Head Folks,   I could use some good advice on a nice tube amp for my AKG K702's.  I'd like to keep the price below around $800.   I am currently running the AKG K702 through a Matrix M-Stage, and although the sound is quite good, am looking for:   1) a little more bloom in the...

Hey guys;   I posted in the full-size section as well, but I thought that a thread here would be beneficial. So, in that case....   I am looking for an amp to drive a (soon-to-be bought) DT880/250/600. The source is a MacBook (the polycarbonate version; OSX). So, if I need a DAC/amp...

Hi all! Figured I'd start a rolling thread separate from the Jade review. So here goes! Please join in! Our "Jade club" here is growing nicely. The "native" Jade tubes are the 6AS7G and 12AX7. But others of these families may be used as well, such as 5998 and 5751, respectively. My many...

I was approached by Audiotailor to review a new tube headphone amplifier with a unique circuit design. Of course I was immediately intrigued by the idea. I cannot reveal the details of the design, but it does result in their being two headphone outputs, with different sound signatures. This is...

I have been asked repeatedly to do this, and I have resisted so far, but I have decided to go ahead and rank all of the tube amps that I have either formally reviewed, or that I have owned for a long time but not formally reviewed. Note that this is a HUGE range in prices, from $6,000 to...
