100+ Head-Fier
Bought this amplfier (110v version) recently from a Singapore reseller. Arrived in under 10 days in perfect condition. Prompt service & answer emails but no tracking.Total cost including shipping, paypal, $226.00. One of the chinese fu32 tubes failed after one session, but no loss as always replace the chinese stock with NOS anyway.
Biffed out all the chinese tubes & replaced with NOS. I love the 1940's tubes & after researching found that the 832A is a direct replacement for the fu32. These are way cheap & plentiful to buy & knock the socks off any later 9 pin miniature set ups (IMO), that I have tried. Same cannot be said for the 6AX7 (replacement for the 6N2) which is very hard to find but not expensive. There are a couple of options however.
For now I have gone the route of using 6AT7 instead of 6AX7 with the 60mu instead of 100 with no detrimental effect or volume change. The initial tube to replace the chinese is a canadian Rogers 6AX7 NOS & was a big improvement, however after putting in a euro NOS 6AT7 the sound has improved again. The main tubes are RCA 832A NOS, not only do they sound great but look really funky too. The other option would be to rewire to suit the 12AX/AT7 types, a simple fix for those handy with a soldering iron.
The specs say 32-600 ohms headphones & 1W but do not say what it is @ the different impedences. For now using the low impedence AKG241 headphones. At 12 o'clock position it is plenty loud. Plan to buy some Fostex TR50 ortho's in the near future, as I think this amp has the oomph to do them justice. The AKG241's have never sounded better & have more base & cleaner highs than in previous amps.
For a total of $250 this is an amazing bargain IMO. It does run hot so needs plenty of space, but would not recommend it for desktop/speaker set up due to the heat issues. No safety frame comes with this. A switch at the back allows speaker or headphone use. The manual is one sheet of paper in chinese so your on your own there. I do not know all the appropriate words for describing the sound but sounds great to my ears. Good firm base, rich mids & smooth highs & great detail throughout.
From the sales blurb they probably had high impedence phones in mind but list from 32ohms up, so took a chance but so far has worked out great.
