Vacuum tube amplified headphones...

....is an item that personally I've no real interest in, nor am I in any way linked to or have any potential to make any financial gain upon....nor do I know any of those involved with them....

But, in the interest of those would might find such an item of interest:

Kickstart This...

When a pair hits your pate, let me know if it's a hit *ow*...or a miss *(f/m voice) "What?..."*

I get notifications on K/S projects, and this is the 1st one I've seen of this nature.

Have a great weekend, J

@jasonbourne71 ....just the piano player here, no judgements on my part.

"Hands where you can see them, officer...." ;)
There's pro PA gear that's used to 'create that tube sound', both live and studio for quite awhile now.  So, as for 'falsehoods'...I'll pull an Officer Bar Brady:

Plenty of choices already for those desiring a tube-output headphone amp! Anyway, I am unfamiliar with the cold-vacuum device they plan to use. How does it compare to the standard triode tube?
