for the record, this one sounds fantastic if you change the tubes and op-amps, and doing so isn't very expensive, i use it myself. I am convinced the reason for the low price is because a lot of the default parts are really cheap, but thankfully easily replaceable, sounds nice and wide on my Takstar Pro 82's, which aren't a very "wide" sounding headphone on their own, so it definitely improves soundstage a fair amount if anything.
I'm planning on getting one of these headphone amps and want to change the tubes/op-amp. I'm planning on starting with a pair of matched GE JAN 5654W tubes. Are there any other suggestions? Also, what op-amp did you use? How many does this Fosi need?
@@andreblair6512 Those are the exact tubes I use and Fosi themselves seem to recommend it as well. I used LF353N op amps, accidentally ordered 5 thinking I'd need that much when in fact this amp only needs 2 lol. Pair it with a half decent DAC and you're set if you want pretty good "tube sound".
would it be a good ideia to pair it with a focusrite 2i2 that I already own while I don't buy a proper dac/amp solution? And if so, should I connect it directly to the headphone out so I can have volume control (even though it introduces noise above 70%)? I want to drive a pair of edition XS. Thanks!
I admire your style. To get a troll at such early inception of creation is indeed an accolade. For this very reason I have subscribed , and look forward to future trolltributions.

Learned some cool new stuff! Looking forward to more from this series
I use this amp with ZEN DAC signature v2, and it sounds quite good.
I have Fosi Audio P1 tube pre-amp with treble - bass knob and bluetooth antenna.

Can it drive 32Ohm 109 db/Vrms @1kHz AKG k275 directly without damaging the driver. I mean that's what I am afraid of
can you use this with the fosi dac Q4?
I have the DT770 pro 250 ohms and I have the dac already but im looking for some more power for gaming and listening to music.
I'm officially here to be your first troll as promised! The vid is good though, so all I can do is poke fun at your weeb keyboard again | |д･)
