Hey Skylab, since you just did a review for the Cute Beyond how would you say the " RED" stacks up. Do you think they are very close since they are coming from the same maker basically???

 

[Skylab]

As stated in that review, the Cute Beyond is more laid back sounding, and the Travangas Red is lighter and brighter. Both are quite good, though.

I have not rolled op-amps, and do not intend to. Where solid state amps are concerned, I prefer to review them as supplied.

I've tried 11 different opamps in the Travagans White, and will report the findings as part of a new review that I am currently putting together.

I will certainly look forward to reading your report HeadphoneAddict as I have just placed an order for the Travagan Red headphone amplifier.

Sometime ago I replaced the six JRC op-amps in my computer soundcard with the National LM4562 and was pleased with the results.

It will be interesting to read the differences of the 11 op-amps you tried compared to the original LM4562.

HeadphoneAddict thank you! Can you venture an ETA for the review?

Before April is over.

I still have several single channel opamps to try on a 2:1 adapter in the Red. The White has the opamp socket too boxed in between caps and volume pot to fit a 2:1 adapter, which I didn't realize till I had it apart.

So, I'll be trying AD797, AD743, OPA627, and NE5534 in the Red.

Denon D2000 + White = A satisfying $500 setup?

Absolutely! That would provide excellent sound for the money.

Wonder if anywhere has a review of the 3" (full range) speakers as they do look damn cute.

 

[Skylab]

I didn't review them, but they sound quite good, and are remarkably full range for the very small size, although there is no real bass of course.

Sky I have a question. How does the Glow Amp One compare to the White; I know its DAC is not very good so I am mainly interested in how the amp section compares with stock tubes.

 

[Skylab]

I'm sorry I cannot help you there - I have never heard the Glow.

I'm currently looking for an amp/dac combo in the 250-400 dollar range for my k701s. How do you think these will do with them?

 

[nsx_23]

Hmm, the RED and the dogbone thing is very tempting.

 

[padam]

Beyerdynamic DT 880 (250 or 600 ohm) is it suitable for these amps? Is it better to get a white or a red with a separate DAC (I am planning to use it with computer)
