Anyone tried the Tube Mini with Grado headphones btw?
I’m considering it as a pair for my GS3000x.
Found this…
Grado headphones like the Hemp felt massive, with expanded imaging and extra body.

I'm thinking of getting the Tube mini with the power base but I just realised I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The power base and Tube mini would be 7-10 inches from the keyboard/mouse/laptop…
Quick question for Tube mini owners: do you experience any interferences around a laptop using Bluetooth connections (not to mention that the laptop is of course using WiFi for the Internet connection)?

Thanks for getting back!
No worries with BT or WiFi, just cellular. Keep in mind the cellular can also cause issues even if you’re not directly connected to the Mini, but it is much louder if the device with the cellular transmission is the one connected to the Mini.
I can confirm that Grado Hemp feels drastically expanded with tube mini.Found this…

The Tube Mini sounds great and works well with a number of headphones. I just wondering if the new Woo Audio base will do what it says. If it can indeed cut down on the tube ringing and quiet down some of the hissing with low sensitivity headphones then the asking price will be well worth it in my opinion. It sounds too good to have such these problems as many have identified.I can confirm that Grado Hemp feels drastically expanded with tube mini.

I am about to get this thing, already had a listening session and loved it a lot, just wondering if I can connect the Tube Mini to something like a Fiio BTR5/7 or Gryphon via USB so it can receive BT signal ?

Initial impressions. Build quality is excellent. Solid aluminum except for the insert for the tube mini. It comes with a nice hard shell carry case and two substantial cables.
I much prefer this to a loose dongle. The SQ of the mini is so close to the WA8, that adding the base is worth the upgrade. You’re still not even 45% cost of the WA8. Is it vital? No. You can blow money on worse things.

Is there any store I could buy the mini in Europe? Didn’t find anything.
Is the Tube Mini very secure in the stand? Does it move around at all?

Very secure. The tube mini doesn't wiggle when plugged in. The base has some sort of rubber feet that keeps it from sliding. It's fairy heavy as well.
