CANOR-AUDIO.COM : Headphone tube amplifier SH1 : Tube amplifier & high end audio

found this while following random integrated amp links.

any thoughts? construction looks clean. worth the $550 they charge for it?

Hey guys, guys. Let's take a 12AX7 cause we like, need a tube or something, and use it as a cathode follower for absolutely no reason at all. Then let's get a shitty obsolete op-amp chip and run the signal through them before feeding it to the output stage, which is probably as shitty as the rest of the amp.

don't forget to include as many diodes as you can

I was thinking those were somehow to develop a B+ for the tube ala Stax bias?

That's one way to do it but voltage multipliers don't like a load... at all.

so the amp sucks then...?

Sucks right now, too.

And will probably still suck tomorrow.

with what probability?

6N to quote the cable makers...

huh? i dont get it.

I'd say it's even better than 6N.

What a waste of a nice piece of wood!

I'd say it's even better than 6N.

Holy crap, the mythical 7N? Say it ain't so!?!?!?!

I think Esoteric is up to 8N these days.
