Hi to all Head-Fiers!

@AuneAudio and I agreed that it would be nice to organize a European Union tour very similar to the ongoing US tour for Aune's new B1S Class-A portable headphone amplifier.

The rules for the tour is very similar to the ones of the US tour, here they are :

Participants ;
- should be from EU member countries.
- are expected to have more than 100 posts and positive trader feedback here on Head-Fi.
- can keep B1S in their hands for 7 days. Then it should be passed to the next person.

If you are interested in the tour, please state here :

- Your location (as country and city)
- Links to previous reviews (if any)
- Your current equipment
- Reason(s) why you are interested in B1S

The tour is for 10 participants.

B1S is in my hands right now, and I will ship it to the first reviewer immediately after the tour is filled!

 

[jonmbarlow]

Yes I am interested in taking part

Location: Southampton, England
No previous reviews
Equipment: Cayin N5ii...Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd gen, Ibasso it1, LZ A4, Philips Fidelio X2
Reasons: Want to find a “tube amp” sound in a portable amp

We need like 8 other reviewers for the tour to start, come on guys, that's a nice amp! : )

Location Netherlands, Amsterdam.
No previous formal reviews... Lots of feedbacks and impressions however.
Equipment: aune m1s, nuansa P1, zishan z2.
VE runabout+, nuansa A1.
VE Duke iem, superlux HD668B.
And around 15 earbuds, budget, mid-tier and TOTL, up to 650ohm.
Reasons: I've been eyeing the B1s for a while but ended up getting the nuansa A1 because of a supposedly better match with dap nuansa p1. Not many people has it but I believe it would be interesting to compare nuansa A1 and aune B1s since they share similar spec and both brands aim at high sound quality with minimal design.

Alright, 7 more Head-Fiers and we're set for the tour!

Edit: I found my Aune B1 that I thought I had lost. Will be interesting comparing these two.

Reaching 10 participants is not a must, the tour can start after a few more volunteers.

I am especially thinking that Head-Fiers having Sennheiser HD6XX series headphones should give a try to this amp.

As the tour organizer, I am refraining from talking about the sound quality of B1S (before the impressions of the participants are posted) but I should say that B1S delivers enough power to drive HD600 and HD650 to ear splitting levels.

Just my two cents!

 

[gavinfabl]

Add me in.

Loads of gear. Loads of headphones, from over ears, in ears... done a few reviews on here, and lots of my YT & blog.
Very curious to try and one brand I’ve never used ...

 

[tenedosian]

Still looking for some more volunteers!

That's quite sad, but okay @jonmbarlow.
