  HFN is Headfonia. I wouldn't compare the Vorzuge to the V1 because the one is portable: vorzuge, the other is transportable. If you are looking for a great IEM amp, the vorz is the better amp. If you're looking for tubes, only the V1 will give you the sound you want. They are totally different. Don't look at prices, look at what you need. Then decide. 

 
Thanks, it looks like V1, my holy grail from Fostex, is still what I must get.

I really appreciate those people who contributed their reviews on this hybrid tube amp and I did buy it from local headphone concept shop. I also glad that I made a good choice on my very first amp to explore warm and analog harmonic distortion sound from Fostex. Besides that, I have found that some internal parts are well known components like battery from Varta company, not so bad 6N16B-Q miniature tube as well as Fostex's custom made large film and electrolytic capacitors. Again, thanks to you all.

I recently purchased an Amazon Basics case for the HP-V1...
 

 
The case is intended for 5" GPS units.

Rudi, I have a question. If you could listen to only one IEM and one full size headphones, and only one set up to plug your headphones into, what it be?

Congratulation on joining the club!
While I can understand the intention of providing scratch protection I'd rather not wrap it up like that while using the unit... it does get quite warm, there's a reason it has cooling ribs at the sides, which need free convection to do their thing.

Question, do hybrid tube-amps have the advantage of uncut/unclipped bass signal like tube-amps? Or are they simply harder-driving amps compared to all solid-state amps?

 

[OddJobs]

Would this amp be able to drive TH50rp's? Or has anybody try it with them?
