Just received my Mapletree Ear+ HD from the good Doctor and I thought I would share some pics with you all. It's sounding wonderful with my HD600s w/Cardas Cable.

I am more than thrilled with the sound and can't wait to get this properly burned in!

Let the tube rolling BEGIN!!!

What are you using for the 5751?

Congrats! I have exchange emails with Dr. Peppard and ready to queue up for an Ear+HD to pair with Grados. I will be ordering a red chassis with black panels. How long did it take to receive your amp? Great pictures and ready to jump into the world of tubes!

Congrats...Great amp...

For Senn HD580 & 650 I like the RCA or Sylvania 7025. For warmer headphones I use a Raytheon 12AX7.
Great amp for tube rolling (5751, 7025, 12AX7)...Selections are plenty without breaking the bank...

Approximately 3 weeks from order until receipt. Worth every bit of the wait! Have fun - it's nice to own a hand-made beauty like this ....

I take it then that the 7025 can be used as a replacement for the 5751/12AX7 ... does it have more/less gain than the 5751?

Thanks!

It's an exact electrical substitutes for the 12ax7. They have the same high gain. They were made for low noise I am told.

Did you assemble yourself?

No. I am all thumbs and without much patience. For me it was worth the extra $80 and the short wait!

Thank you. Exactly what I am looking for ... I will try to pick up one to roll!

 

[mbd2884]

Well congratulations! It's a work of art for sure, and love reading reviews for this amp, all of enjoyable.

Sure does beat the typical silver/black box from an aesthetic point but it wouldn't mean much if the sound quality didn't measure up. In this case, the Mapletree satisfies on both counts.

Waiting for your review. I missed out on a great deal on a used one a few weeks ago because funds were tight.

I believe it was the older HD2 model. Looks great!
