im looking for a cheap tube amp for my headphones and I dont have a clue about whats good, Ive never owned a tubey before.

your opinions and advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Why does it have a USB symbol on the front and two power buttons?

I am just wondering for these amps that only have one set of peakers output and one rca in, how would one connect a subwoofer to the setup?

I messaged him for a total price quote, he switched the shipping price on me and told me to pay more then what the auction had listed..

not very nice.

Just couple of days ago I joined a local group order from China and ordered this headphone amplifier. Total cost with taxes and shipping will be around 100 euros. They sure aren't very expensive.

Here's some more information about that amp.

Hope it sounds as good as it looks like.

I'll post my comments when it arrives but it can take a while. And this will be my first amplifier so I really don't have anything to compare with except my A/V Receiver.

Hi,

I found the manufacture link in China. Unfortunately, it is in Chinese (although you can find a link to English version in the upper right corner). It just did not work when I tried! I just doubt if it will be cheaper if you guys just buy it from the factory directly!

I am quite interested in it because I use my computer as source as well. So, post comments if you guys used it!

complain to ebay inc.

anyways, the amps run off of 220v ac. not the biggest of problems, but perhaps.

the amp may have 2 power buttons to seperate the power suply/tube heater from the outputs of the tube.

Wow, 100 euros for that really isnt that bad at all. If I can get it for under $150 usd, then I'm in this market as well.

Would this make a noticable difference from cmoy amps? I suppose it obviously would, but by what margin would it make a difference? Consider me a complete noob, I can distinquish between good and bad amps, but not tube and non-tube amps...

More importantly, where can I order these??

because it's a usb sound card/amp, like the total bithead.

nikongod: the specs say 220/110V, so i assume it's switchable.

but damn, 35W for consumption? i guess because it can drive speakers as well...

I have a friend in China. If I ask him to send me an amp, do I have to pay duties on it? Thanks to anyone with info.

As long as it's correctly marked as a gift then there shouldn't be any import taxes added.

Hmmm, that looks like a fun next purchase, dunno though, I'll wait a few weeks (and see if a friend of mine can make me one)
