[Fairbanks]

Was at the local Philly meet today and listened to quite a few amps,sources and headphones.I felt that I should talk about an amp from China that caught my attention.It's a solid state amp called the O1 Earphone amp repersentd by Fang Bian of www.head-direct.com. As is the case the Chinese are pumping out some great low cost amps as most of you already know.The O1 earphone at $149 is no exception.I had a Creek 21se amp on hand to compare it to.Three of us Head-fiers listened to both amps and all three thought the earphone had the overall better presentation.Give this amp a hard look as for $149 it's surely a bargain.Also I might add I listened to there various ear bud phones and was quite impressed as well.
