I was about to order DV when stumble upon this amp.

Has any one heard it, can't find nothing about it with search or google. Only available info on the site is 'One new OTL amp,great amp!'.

Nice looking amp, but there is no direct vintage/western equivalent for those 6N6 tubes, and my experience with Chinese tubes has been universally bad, so an amp that uses tubes like that is something I will always avoid.

 

[glitch39]

could another case of "you get what you pay for" seeing at how low (or reasonable) the price is

 

[Hz_joe]

This amps is for China market. So most of our dealers only know it can only use 6N6.

 

[fdhfdy]

How come? bunches of American made amps were not for other markets but could still be purchased somehow.

btw 6n6 could be replaced by 6N11/6DJ8/ECC88....

Headmoitor

It can drive low imepdance Headphone like Grado SR series ,Denon D2000 , ATH-900 series , AKG-K601/K701 , .... It also can drive high impedance like HD600/HD650 , DT990.

14 days money back in China.

The 6N6 is just the Chinese version of the Russian 6N6P and very close to the JJ ECC99 tube. There are plenty of cheap replacements for these.

Headmonitor 1/2 can direct replace with 6DJ8/ECC88 family & 6H30

I agree .... I dont like being limited to just Chinese or Russian new production 6n6p/ 6h30 output tubes. Moreover, 6h30s cost as much as a lot of good nos tubes and I have never been a fan of the sound quality of even the expensive nos 6dj8/6922. The Dark Voice seems like a much safer choice.

We are just tested a OTL circuit with 12AX7 and 6AS7. It seem to be good sound and powerful.

It can delivery 70mW into 32 Ohm load & 200mW in 600 Ohm.(cathode follower can delivery around 15mW only). I want to study most of customers like 12AU7 or 12AX7 as driver tube ? New prototype will be finish soon. It price is very attractive. Introducting periode will be US$300 only. Free sea shipping before 2008. 14 days 100% money back. Buyer only need to pay return shipping only. New topology on this series OTL Headphone amps : 1. no cathode follower output in circuit. 2. much more linear than 6AS7/6080 cathode follower type circuit. 3. much higher output power & better low frequency control. 4. no noise problem on using low impedance headphones. 5. Output only amplifier on current only. Gain is from driver stage. So distortion is very low. 6. Very good band width. Low frequency only limited by Output cap. High frequecy extend to 100Khz -1db. Shipping : From Hong Kong. Payment : Bank transfer or paypal.

So your the manufacturer? I dont believe the head-fi rules permit manufactureres commenting on their products. I would check if I were you.

I can tell you my people dont prefer the 12au7/12ax7 tube once they are exposed to the many gain tubes that are both better sounding and more linear.

In our last communication, Mikhail from SinglePower was strongly recommending me to try 12au7 variant with my MPX. I don't have the exact brand he recommended, but do have some 12au7s that I love with MPX

Also, I thought EF-1 (maybe wrong name) that uses 12au7 had some good reviews.

That is an amp I would be very interested in trying out.
