what does it mean "tuned" for the 800?

 

[DoYouRight]

wow thats a sexy design.

Nice looking amp. I am somewhat leaning toward the tube sounds lately.. So, this looks very solid/tempting amp.

That mean it's specially designed for HD800.

I think what people are driving at is...what specifically went into the design of the amp to make it a good match with the HD800? Is it an impedance thing, or perhaps tonal matching..? I find the idea of an amp specifically targeted at a certain headphone to be intriguing. Cheers.

OMG! That is just too funny. The only thing I hear is marketing saying "Hey, if these guys are shelling out $1500 for headphones, we better make something with a sticker that says 'buy this for those headphones' and cash in!".

Obviously more information is needed than just "tuned for HD800".

This is very interesting indeed.

Is more technical information available?

From the looks of things, it has diodes for rectification. I wonder if it is regulated. And, no doubt, it is built on a PCB.

It's a fully balanced OCL tube design. Two 12AT7 GOLD will be used as pre-tubes, and four 6H30PI GOLD as power tubes. The prototype will be shown tomorrow at a headphone gathering at Shenzhen. I just wonder if this is the world's first ever head amp exclusively tuned for HD800.

Nice done, Mr. Yang!

I'm intrigued since I have an HD800 myself, but I have little information at this moment. I only know the impedence will be matched with HD800. I'll ask the guys who will attend the headphone gathering today for their impression.

Hmm... looks like a re-branded MKVI to me.I also don't get the "tuned for HD800" part, The MKVI should have ample power for the Senns, so what have they done different?
