Worth it - Home Audio

This is a great little tube buffer, perfect for trying out tubes and playing different tonal profiles. It's definitely not high accuracy, but it's better than most add-ons. This is the perfect introduction to tube rolling and I would recommend it to others.

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

Not a full-fledged preamp, just a sound "buffer ".

Cool looking gadget, makes no difference between a Pioneer amp and a Denon turntable, I don't think it's for new electronics. Then I tried a Victrola turntable and an old Sony amp, the difference was noticeable, more amplified sound, more foundation. The tubes are a soft blue which gives a retro look to my Victrola and an old Sony amp.

Pros
  • There's something there
Cons
  • Minor issues

Nice little amp for my daughter who loves retro vinyl

I hooked this up to an old receiver so my daughter could help her with the turntable. Looks great, makes old and new vinyl sound very nice. I'm not sure if this was strictly necessary with our receiver/phono stage setup, but the vacuum tubes contribute to an improved sound quality and warmth that digital may lack. The clear acrylic looks beautiful and feels very high quality.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Nothing here

Terrible buzz.

Very disappointed. This is a nice little preamp. I liked it because it looks like a headphone amp I own and I was planning on using them together. Unfortunately, this thing makes an awful buzz when you turn it on. The volume slider doesn't seem to affect the volume of your music much, but it does adjust the amount of awful buzz you get from the audio. Tried multiple sources, cables, and even two different amps. It's frankly inappropriate. I'm not sure if this is due to the power adapter thatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak

Value for money home theater

This preamp offers good value for what you pay for. I was able to connect my Samsung Tab S6 to a DAC which is then connected to a preamp. The pre-out goes to the Bluetooth transmitter. This configuration works well with one problem. If you turn the knob to medium volume, you may hear a faint buzzing sound. The only way to fix this is to press the volume knob a little higher or lower. As far as tube sound goes, by default tubes produce a nice, accurate sound. However, it doesn't produce theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Secret

Great value, best of all

Tried several of these little tube preamps/buffers. Others had assembly problems and generated a lot of noise. Chirping, ticking, clapping and lots of humming. This one is well built, and with a GOOD power supply and sensible placement, all noise is muted and only a slight low rumble. I replaced the supplied bulbs with GE 5654, very nice. Mallards are good, slightly darker; someone said "like a warm blanket". I agree. Voshkods is currently running; darling so far. Westinghouse is coming. Myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • No
