Darkvoice 336se vs Darkvoice 3322 Discussion in ' Headphone Amps (full-size) ' started by ap3x, Sep 23, 2009. Sep 23, 2009 at 2:43 AM THREAD STARTER.
Hello everyone, Not sure if this is the best place to post this but would love to hear your opinion about some nice tube amps on a budget. I am looking for a nice robust entry level tube amp for low impedance headphones to try and round them out. Budget - ~$500 Source - PC->Questyle cma600i / Schit Modi 2 Uber Preferred tonal balance - Warm tubey sound (doesn't hae to be by default, will want to try my hand at rolling tubes). I am trying to make my more airy headphones sound more musical and softer, to reduce some of the peaks in the highs. Current headphones - • Audeze LCD-X • Audio Technica AD100x & m40x • Philips Fiddelio X2 & SHP9500 • Monoprice Retro Future Headphones (possible): 1. Mr.Speakers Aeon Closed 2.
Focal Ealear or Clear 3. Audeze LCD-2c 4. Senheiser HD600 or HD6xx form Massdrop Preferred Music - Listening to a wide variety of music, no specific preference. Considered options: • Garage 1217 Project Ember 2 or Sunrise 3 • Schiit Lyr 2 • DarkVoice 336SE • Woo Audio WA6 (a bit over budget but if really worth it might consider) • Bottlehead S.E.X. 3.0 kit Location - USA Notes: Currently leaning towards something form garage 1217, either the ember or the sunrise, since i have heard the tubes for the amp are very easy to find, are cheap, it offers a wide range of customization and works well with low ohm headphones.
Anyone have experience with Garage 1217 stuff?Any other recommendations? Thanks in advance! I'd probably agree with the Crack amp suggestion with the Speedball upgrade.
Was thinking about getting this one, and from what I've heard and read it may pair well with your LCD-X. Unfortunately, I haven't heard any of the Schitt products. For an entry level tube amp, I've owned the Little Dot MK iii. This Little Dot amp has very good clarity when paired with decent DAC. But, if a person were to get this amp they'd probably want to upgrade the output tubes to the Electro-Harmonix 6H30Pi Gold for more authority. They may be a bit pricey but well worth the purchase ($35.00/tube I believe).
A person would also want to swap the 5654 driver tubes with something like Sylvannia JAN's or GE 5-star's. In terms of sound the Little Dot, with the tube upgrades, has excellent detail, but might lack a bit of the bass 'body' like what I get from the Audiotailor Jade. This isn't to say it's tighter bass doesn't have good depth, just not as prominent as my Jade. The Audiotailor Jade isn't available anymore. I'm actually thinking of getting another Little Dot MK III. I listen with either the Sennheiser HD650 or the HD600. I occasionally listen with the Monoprice Monolith M1060's but these can be a bit bright and unbalanced to my ears.
I'd love to get a pair of LCD-X though. Anyway, that's my two cents. YMMV, but I hated the Little Dot Mk3. It belongs in the trash. I wasn't hearing any of the clarity or bass of the HD650s. The bass was gooey and muddy, overwhelming the mids and the tube haze was really bad with the HD650s. Even the onboard headamp powered it better.
My suggestion: Get the Valhalla 2, tube roll it to your choice. Here are a few choices you can look at: - Russian 6n23ps -Western Electric 396A + 6922>396a adapter -Electro harmonix 6922 Can you make the Valhalla 2 sound like a tube amp that is warm and musical, or is it like most of schiit's stuff aiming for neutral?
