Review on 🎧 Sabaj PHA3 Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier: Enhanced Stereo Amp for Immersive HiFi Audio Experience with Low Ground Noise and Headphone Output Protection by Dale Mankad

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Need a good run-in before critical listening

At first I was terribly disappointed with the sound quality, but after a few days of listening the amp's sound really opened up. Not very detailed, but the mids and punchy bass were enough to make movies and modern music sound good. I haven't run any measurements - more expensive headphone amps offer much better fidelity - but they have few competitors in their price range. Noise was particularly low and there were no obvious design issues like the Little Noise P9. Excuse me. Loud Bear P9. uh wait. I meant Little Bear P9. There are modern portable headphone amps that are incredibly quiet for the price, but they lack the power of this amp that can drive 120 ohm "standard" headphones loud enough. The design left a lot to be desired, but hey, it works. Even if the volume control was crooked and the lamps are placed at odd angles. An all-round economical booster for your cans. Paired with my Topping D30 it definitely outperforms /any/ sound card I could put in my PC. Besides, he's small.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Long delivery time
