  1. I found these amps on Amazon but they cannot be shipped to Singapore.

    Anyone knows where in Singapore can I get any of these?

    • ART HeadAmp4 Four Channel Headphone Amplifier
    • Behringer HA400 4-Channel Stereo Headphone Amp
    • Rolls HA43-Pro 4 Output Stereo Headphone Amplifier
    • Pyle-Pro PHA40 4-Channel Stereo Headphone Amplifier

     

    behringer is sold locally as pro-equipment.

    regional office is here in SG - look it up.


  2. Having the hd650 on hand with me now, (Thanks jojo for loaning it to me!) I must say it sounds better on my setup than the w5000. I guess system synergy plays a big part and it's something I've learnt in the past few weeks. Also, it seems OTL tube amps do go better with higher impedance headphones. With the yamamoto, I didn't really enjoy the hd650 either.

     

    same here kept the HD650 and K701 and K1000 but sold off the W5000.

    the W5000 had beguiling vocals but soundstage was a little to "tight" for me.

    its more about personal preference, I can see the W5000 hitting the sweet spot for those especially into female vocals.

     

    all these were amped by the GCHA, Singlepower MPX3 and at one time RS Raptor.


  3. Depends on your needs/requirements:

     

    - space- separates generally for better sound

    - budget - peanuts...monkeys

    - preferred aural experience - hi-fi, mid-fi or just music

     

    you'd be surprised at some good bargains in the used market if you picked them selectively to suit exactly your preferences.


  4. its certainly appealing as it has an auto circuit that detects 6v or 12v tubes - hence the higher running voltage allows it to be used against different headphone designs.

     

    from what i know in hifil, the best tube circuits are also the most direct and with the least complications to minimize noise. it remains to be seen if this new design can overcome that dilemma.

     

    judging from the price - it looks like its positioned as a 'mid-priced amp" relative to the Singlepower Product lineup.


  5. Im sellin the amp, black emperor IC (from SE), 1 maha 9.6V Batt (as reccomended by the maker) and a charger bought from a MO by nakedtoe...
