OH GOD first i heard good things t5p with the HM901 , now the ASP too.... i think i might create a massive endless blackhole in my wallet soon LOL T_T
T5p are great with tubes I think. But I have never been enough into tubes myself. I have found that a true CLASS-A amplifier makes the T5p shine more than OPAMP based amplifiers. It could also just be that class-A amplfiers in general sound better but they tend to make the things I like about the T5p even better - punch, definition, rythm and pace, soundstage. The Heed Canalot is a great example that I think sounds wery good with the T5p.
@rasmushorn: Can you post some picture of your AHA-120 against some known devices if you ever get the chance, I want to know how large it is, cheers.
The Meier Classic is starting to win me over, based on everything I've read. However, it outputs 3.2W at 30 ohms? Can the T5p handle that?
I've been enjoying the hell out of my T5ps for a month now, but I think it's time for a better at-home amp than my precious little Fiio E17
I've figured a few things out looking back through the myriad pages of this thread, but still need some advice. Someone mentioned these headphones like tubes, so I looked at the Schiit Lyr, but 6 watts of output at 32 ohms sounds terrifying (or perhaps explodifying). So perhaps the Valhalla? I also see the Woo WA3 looks pretty good. Woo's website recommends any and all of their amps for the T5p, though I'm not sure how much faith to give that...
What do you guys think? Tubey amp for ~$500 or less? Tubes at all? Also, I have a DAC already (M-Audio profire) that should suffice at this level, as far as I know. I'm no electrical engineer.
