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.
If I see anything of an 'phile nature, I'll post it 'for your consideration'...just because. ;)

Have a great weekend, J

It is great to see another application for the Korg Nutube.

I have previously encountered it in Pre'-Amp's of which I am having one built, a Phonostage and DAC.

I see no reason why this new application will fail to find users, especially if the Circuit Design is enabling the Korg to really perform.

The controlling the Nutube's microphonic ring, is going to be a hurdle to get over with only a very compact space to produce control measures.

I have a wonderful Stax pair including tube amp.  Bought in mid-90s for flat living, very costly I recall.  I haven't listened for at least 10 years, but I should - the sound was about the clearest and cleanest I've ever heard and they beat most speakers.

Point well made.  One thing stopping me is I sold the B&W 801s I had then and now have Martin Logan CLX Anniversaries that also sound detailed clean and clear and perhaps just a little headphone like (remembering the Stax are electrostatics as well).

But you're right, I should get the Stax out again and try them against the MLs.
