WTS: AMB Lab Mini3

Recommended Posts

Dear all Headiophile,

 

AMB Lab Mini3, an excellent portable headphone amp designed by TiKan, AMB Lab.

 

Be impressed, by this compact, yet powerful headphone amp. Most users satisfied and agreed, AMB Mini3 indeed out perform most of the portable amps at this price range, if not, 2~3x more! Check it out!

 

headfi Mini3 Review from Head-Fi

 

The Mini3 is a DIY amp, although it can be purchased complete from a number of sources. Vlad loaned me his completed Mini3 to review. His was nicely built into a small metal Hammond case. There were no features other than a batter charging circuit.

 

Build Quality: n/a: this will simply depend on how the amp’s builder decides to build it.

 

Treble: A-: Nice and smooth, and fairly neutral and transparent. Perhaps a bit soft, and lacking the very last bit of top end extension. Still very nice.

 

Midrange: A: Impressive performance in the mids. Open, inviting, and smooth. I was impressed. Female vocals like Kathleen Edwards and Goldfrapp were very well served by the Mini3’s midrange performance.

 

Bass: A-: Plenty of bass, but it was a little loose at times. Some of the better amps offer better bass control, and a little more definition. Still, this is only in comparison to the very best.

 

Neutrality: A-: It’s just a touch warm and rolled off on top from neutral. But it sure sounds pretty!

 

Soundstaging: B+: Soundstage depth was excellent. Image specificity was very good. Width was just good – soundstage width was not delivered in full measure by the Mini3.

 

Transparency: A-: Definitely an open, clear, generally clean, grain-free sound. Not the LAST word in resolution, but still very good.

Yeah. Think I won't mod mine since I'm very happy with mine. (both of them!)

The SQ of the Mini3 is almost comparable to the Hornet, especially after 30 hours burn in time.
