Vacuum tube amplified headphones...

@mahgister ....Hi, I thought this might catch your eyes and interest, since you're a 'phones guy of late.... ;)  As for validity of the catchphrases 'n claims....🤷‍♂️🤞, and all that we can throw at it...

They've hit their goal, so the project should move forward and the 'invested' ought to be 'fulfilled' in their place in the que....

To  quote He Who I Will Not Name Unless In Vain, "Stand By"....🤨

@dean_palmer *L*  If I (or we) believed and bought everything every bit of mental floss tossed our way by any and all of those who tout stuff for us to consume in whatever fashion....

We'd likely drool excessively, drag our knuckles a lot, and all filing for bankruptcy.

Hey!  Another brainseize from yours' unruly....

Let's all volunteer to be testy testers...*LOL*

Would this be a kind of update on the Audioquest Nightowl / Nighthawk headphones? I look forward to a comparison.

What?!? Why not just get a tube headphone amp? Or get one of those rinky-dink "tube buffers" if you think having a tube in the signal path will do something magical.

@o_holter , I had to drill around to see what you meant as to the devices mentioned....no problem.....

Different animal, go nose around my 'Kickstart' link....a 'tube on a chip' amp in the phones' cavities themselves.  The drivers themselves are mentioned I believe...

The 'phones are 'still  pending', but it's states when they should be arriving to those who've bought into the funding when the process ends.

Then the real work begins; moving from prototype(s) to the saleable objects..

Thought it would be of interest to some, catcalls and bronx cheers from others....

Kinda the typical with things audio, but with a twist:

- You get to try something potentially new (perhaps).

-  Maybe get to make your thoughts and suggestions make for a better product, if the creators ask for feedback.

- Even if the previous isn't asked for, you've laid your bucks down and you ought to be able to kvetch about ii, or toss a 'hooray' their way.... *L*

...given a recent topic on component break-in, be it speakers or device, you get to weigh in on that....5 minutes?  Hours, weeks, months, years, millenia...? *LOL*

As I posted to infer:  Don't shoot the piano player...;)
