You mean, Japanese and English. The ones who can only read Japanese aren't allowed to post (but they can't translate very well, either).

Ex-Pro Valve-X


* Feature *
* 12AU7 load push pull drives the tube, to be strong, stir sound

The amplifier of the vacuum tube it meaning that this is unprecedented, whether some sound does was the pleasure.
Is the vacuum tube headphone amplifier the Yamamoto acoustic technical art, the MUSICAL.F... probably extent?
Ordering with Akihabara audio, XXYEN 46500 was.

The Valve - the X arriving, when the audition you try doing promptly, it was powerful sound truly.
But, characteristic of affinity of the CDP being too powerful, the ear becomes tired in the listening of long time.
Gouy gouy being to be good it does, the sound which is approached, but there is no moisture a little in sound, the vocal lotus key pitch
It becomes and it seemed that is spoiled the good quality of the HD600.
Also for bass to come out, however it is to come out, it is the sound that it has extended to low-end,
Is. Weight of the vocal and the wind instrument is light, is.

If speaking clearly, as for affinity of the HD600 you think it is not good excessively.


Postscript: As for above-mentioned composition before aging is completed still sufficiently, with the thought which is written, recently aging almost completion
Because it does, again you try to add.

When you compare with before the aging, the ‚Ô sound which wants being pliant, it became loose.
In the past somewhat in the treble the ƒLƒc, those where it is became matter of concern, but it seems that is cancelled delicately. So creek
When it compares, there is a flashiness. It reached the point where also bass comes out, but to low-end the extension it finishes
It did not seem the way.
In addition you think carving the image of sound to be deep became entirely the I I feeling.

Postscript 2:
The Valve-X recently with combination of the ELEGA and the portable CD in the desk side putting
It is usual.
Sometimes, the HD600 it has applying, it increases, but straight it expresses enormously being to be good, but
When bass is weak a little, the treble passing clearly, a little the ƒLƒc, feeling, the stripe stripe it does.
When it matches with the ƒxƒCƒ„?[, being hearing it has been it does, but how it probably is what?
Someone m entry you ask in the human BBS which has been combined with the ƒxƒCƒ„?[ (the __) m

Im getting closer to buying this sucker. All I have to do now is raise the money. Audiocubes will be able to special order them.

The guy at audiocubes is calling his supplier, he thinks he might be able to get it if there is enough demand. Anyone else here wanna be the guinea pig with this? I will not have the money for another month. From the looks of it, it seems like a good match for the HD600

Tim -- I'm confused, are you getting the player, or the headphone amp? I presume from your "...nice match with HD600..." comment, that you mean head amp. How much?

PS Mark, thanks for the translation.
