Defects, poor quality control.

After watching a youtube video I decided to try this before investing in a quality tube amp. The sound is quite distorted and not very warm, which can probably be remedied by changing the tubes. But my block is defective. I only get about 10% volume on the right side. i will return it I'll probably try another brand of these cheap tube amps before investing in a more expensive one.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Minor issues

Inexpensive solution for systems where I don't want to build my own class A preamp

This unit fits perfectly with the system I built for my cabin. The tubes sound better after a few hours of use at medium volume. Pretty good. By price. I build my own Class A preamps, but for some systems this is an easy way to warm up the sound. It has decent tone control in the AB1 class TDA2050 output stage which I built with left and right volume only.

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • No form required

Saturation 13 Art in Receivers & Amplifiers

Preamp arrived in new condition, well packaged in a sealed box. Lamps (GE5654) were used conspicuously. The manufacturer's ink on the outside of both tubes was illegible and mostly rubbed off. The connecting pins had pliers marks and were partially bent. I was able to install them carefully. The device works and sounds great. Certainly, despite the micro size and short detachable power cord, the quality is higher than the price.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Almost everything included

Looks decent, enough gain for my purposes.

I don't really hear a difference in sound here, but pics of the speakers are literally cheaper than the preamp. YMMV This *gives* you a ton of amplification and adds volume, bass, and treble controls. The dials are nice and clicky. It also looks neat, not too expensive for the privilege. The only thing that really annoys me is that there is a ridiculous LED on the PSU that is absurdly bright, and PSUs don't need LEDs anyway. I covered it with plumber.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as good as it says

Tube Buffer Great Sound!

This is just what I needed to upgrade my sound system running from my home computer and cable box as I also use my 27 inch TV monitor. A note to keep in mind: MUST USE HIGH QUALITY SHIELDED RCA CABLES! This reduces background hum to almost nothing. Using cheap cables will cause hum problems! The upgrade costs about $11. bought on this auction site that everyone knows. The increase in mids and bass was noticeable and worth the upgrade price. It takes about 15 minutes to swap chips in sockets on…

  • Handsome

Add a tube preamp for better MP3 playback

A few weeks ago I got one of those little Dell computers with a terrible DAC. I bought some good speakers for my new computer, but the MP3s I get from Revain when I buy a CD, DVD, SACD or Blu-ray just didn't sound right. Well, why buy good speakers if the computer's DAC isn't good? So I bought a Cambridge Audio DAC Magic 100 which improved the sound a lot. No, something is still missing. Smoothness. e. warm. Ahhh, I need hoses. After looking at a lot of these little tube preamps at Revain I…

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
