I wonder how much better it will sound ? on which sound aspect does it improve ? ( bass ? stage ? precision ?...)...


QUESTION: What power tube is it using ? Is it the same EL34 than the BHSE ?

Nice! I was very tempted to wait for this to come out when first knew of it, but ended up going for the T2. I bet it sounds amazing!

if the pics at the beginning are realistic, this new little gem is based on EML 20B..... also, DHT should stand for Direct Heated Triode, so cannot be in any case EL34 :wink:

btw, it would be very interesting to know some details (without breaking any copyright or confidentiality of course), like for example if it is a grounded grid design, if it uses output transformers, etc...

Justin states "20B-V4 also makes a great DHT transformer output amp for regular headphones :)".

--> Does this mean that this new amp will also be able to drive conventional Headphones ? Byby my EC445 amp ?

Lot of room saved on my Hifi station !

Expect to pay DIY T2 level price.

Only for the elites
I think it will be more expensive, but this is a commercial product with real 3-year warranty from a company that has been doing electrostatic amplifiers for almost 20 years.
