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?
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:
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.
If I see anything of an 'phile nature, I'll post it 'for your consideration'...just because. ;)
Have a great weekend, J

@ghdprentice ...You could be the 1st real one.."....*mild tease* ...and the 'marketing' is pretty much in the 'higher end' of Kickstarts of the tech types. Impressed me enough to run it by y'all for YHOs'... Just for fun, and something to kick around. @jasonbourne71 , I know there's tubed 'phone amps, but they're corded as far as I'm aware; this seems BT'd, so there's that... It plainly states it's more for the 'streamers'; anyone walking about with their better than average portable source, be it a cell or player might enjoy it v. ear buds... I do find the chip involved interesting, and it's certainly one of a kind at this point. The cost of a pair doesn't seem all that out of line in comparison with other 'niche 'phones'. Not something I'll lust for, but I'm not Everyman either....*L* Got my own 'tendencies' to throttle... ;) |
Interesting, but the marketing seems to be full of statements that are simply fallacies. "Add warmth to digitally recorded music." LMAO. Did they involve any actual audio engineers? But wait... " "Digital signals have MORE to gain from vacuum tube amplification in terms of sound quality simply because there is both, more room, and more need for improvement." Such BS. Might end up being a decent device but damn, they better refine the marketing if they plan to sell to people with knowledge of audio beyond MP3 and cell phones. |
