Darkvoice Vs Bottlehead
Tube Rolling in the Crack. The Bottlehead Crack circuit uses two tubes. A 12AU7 input tube serving as a voltage amplifier, directly coupled to a 6080 power tube as a cathode follower output. The two stereo channels each use half of the tube. The included tubes are of decent quality and can be expected to provide years of great sound. LaFigaro/Darkvoice 336 OTL – Same as above, but it’s price tag puts the Woo Audio to shame. LF/DF 332C/S – Don’t know much about this. Price sits between the Crack and the LF339, you may as well pick one of the latter, might get back to you if I manage to audition this. Woo Audio WA6 –.
Schiit Valhalla 2 vs Bottlehead Crack 1.1 + Speedball with HD 650's
Remotedroid pro apk download. Hey.
So I've been looking forward to stepping my game up, and after a month of research, I found that the 650's are exactly what I want.
However I'm struggling with the selection of a tube amp to drive them before I order them.
I have always thought that I preferred bright sound, by recently I've wanted to try the warm sound of a tube amp.
I'm looking for a neutral but fun to listen sound. Prioritizing fun over clarity. I'm not looking for an analytic sound
I've heard they are both great, but I would like to hear everyone's opinion on both of 'em or how do they pair with the 650's
One pretty big point to consider is that the Crack is currently on a pretty decent sale. Meaning that I could get the Crack + Speedball for the same price than the Valhalla 2.
Thanks again every one :)
I need your advice on wither to get the DarkVoice 336SE vs APPJ 1502A Tube Amps (in terms of sound, temps concerns, build quality)
Hi, really need your advice and thoughts on the aforementioned amps.
Here's my thoughts and concerns on the DarkVoice: Build quality and excessive heat (my room can reach 31 Celsius with AC off which I can handle). As reviewed by his greatness /u/ZeosPantera :D , sound is an excellent fit for my needs.
My thoughts on the APPJ 1502A: Requires lots of mods (relatively, since I don't know how to solder) to as sound good as I want it to be.
Any how, if the DarkVoice amp is a safety concern, then my only option is to get the woo audio WA3 or WA6, which I would like your experience if they produce similar excessive heat.
Darkvoice 336se Tube Rolling
Thank you all and best regards. Movado watch serial number check.
I'm shoping for a good tube amp right now. I got the Hifiman Sundara headphones to pair with and i love U2, Simple Minds, Radiohead ect... I like a neutral sound. Lush, wall of sound, clarity and detail. not too much bass or painfull treble. I dont like distortion or hum. Im 48 years old.
I would like to keep it as cheap as possible. but willing to go up to around 300$ These are some of the amps ive looked at:
1. Bravo Audio V3 66$: I have this now and was dissapointed that i could hear some distortion on certain tracks. BUT it does have a bass/mid/treble control on it. Something i wish other amps had but never do. why?
2. Monoprice 25 Watt Stereo Hybrid Tube Amplifier with Bluetooth 139$: This is more of a stereo bookshelf/floor speakers amp. Are these types of amps any good for hifiman sundara headphones?
3. Schiitt Vali 149$
4. Massdrop X Alex Cavalli Tube Hybrid Amp (CTH) 250$: This actually has a port for a balanced headphone cable. Said to punch well above its price range.
5. Bottlehead Crack 1.1 OTL 315$: Con on this is i'll have to put it together. haven't soldered anything in a long time lol
6. Xduoo TA-10 AK4490 290$ has its own DAC. has a balanced port AND plays DSD files!
7. Darkvoice 336SE 254$: Heard a lot about this amp in these groups
8. Massdrop Objective 2 95$
Darkvoice 336se Replacement Tubes
9. Little Dot MK3 & MK3 SE 262$: Or the mark 2?
10. Bellari - HA540 Mk2 199$: Looks a little old fashioned
12. Schiit Valhalla 349$: Many fans
13. Massdrop X Eddie Current ZDT JR. 399$: most expensive on this list BUT its coupled with a transformer! I would think this gives this tube amp almost no distortion!
14. ? Any good amps ive missed here?
Thanks!
