Yes, a lot more forward. And heavier. The v8 is airier and more subtle.

I think the difference is rather big. And modded v3 is just not in the same league as the v8 or the Head One.

Is that so????
The Head One cost me 900 euro (shipping and all included), the fully modded v3 about 600 euro. The v8 less than 500 euro...

Yes it is substantially bigger and gets hotter, but not as hot as some tube amps do (you can put it under a shelf without burning things, but it needs lots of ventilation of course).

Probably. The Phonitor is pretty good too....
I prefer it over amps like Stealth and Zana Deux, but that has more to do with preference of the sound signature, not with quality.

Not harsh, but if you put trash in it will spit trash out of course.
Not more bass than the v8, but thicker, fuller.
