Hey, I was just searching for a tube-pre on eBay and stumbled upon this little guy.
RELYON KT88 Valve Tube Headphone Amplifier class A bk ! - eBay (item 120175268947 end time Nov-16-08 15:00:00 PST)
To my knowledge, the only other tube to use these tubes is the legendary Cary 300SEI (I think I have the right model number). I am intrigued by the KT88's and the 6SN7 tube has millions of options. So tube rolling wise, it looks promising, however the only downfall I see, is that it works with 300-600 Ohm headphones.
Well, my question really, can "this" amp, handle low ohm headphones as well? I have read that using high-ohm headphones on a low-ohm amp, can degrade the sound, so I was wondering if using low-ohm headphones on this amp, degrade the sound-quality?
For the price, I might take a chance, but I thought I'd ask around here, to see what others have to say.
Thanks..
