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

For $49, just hearing what a tube amp sounds like is pretty cool. I only bought this amp to install a second player. With my low-end project Elemental I have good bass and crisp highs. You can use either the RCA input only or the front AUX input in sequence. Disconnect the rear RCA to use the front aux.

I use this tube headphone amp with Sennheiser 650 headphones and an iPod, iPhone and laptop (and even a Raspberry Pi with an aftermarket audio DAC) and it gives great results. Sound. I listen to both classical and electronic, experimental and rock. It gives classic recordings a clarity I couldn't get with a digital headphone amp, let alone a regular headphone output on these devices. Very soft, warm sound and lots of bass. It has a power supply and given the exposed tubes I wouldn't even…

I use it with music through the headphone jack of a 9.5 inch iPad Pro. Served at the Sabaj entrance. The Sabaj's headphone jack output drives a $60 Logitech three-piece speaker system (model number unknown). The original Sabaj power supply might work, but I am using a 12v 5 amp SHNITPWR power supply to power the Sabaj. And YES, the magic of tube amps is real! As I write this, I'm listening to piano music on Spotify. NO noise or ground loop problems. can also fly. Forget measurements and enjoy…

This is a beautifully designed and visually appealing little tube amp. It does NOT have enough power to deliver loud sound and good bass when used alone as a headphone amp. However, when paired with a tube preamp such as the Nobsound NS-10P, the Sabaj PHA3 delivers a deep, rich and warm tube sound that is extremely pleasing to the ear. I was blown away by the GREAT STEREO SOUND this unit delivers in decent headphones (like the Audio Technica MSR7bGM) and is controlled by the iPod Touch. If you…

Vacuum tubes do a good job of adding warm analog characteristics to the audio signal from your digital device. But the output stage is a pair of op amps that do almost nothing to boost the sound beyond the input level. So if you are already satisfied with the volume without this device and only want "tube sound" instead of "sound card sound", you will be very happy with this one. However, if you want analog tube sound AND enough gain to make a noticeable difference in headphone volume, you need

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…

My main amp doesn't have a headphone jack (Acurus DIA) so I plugged the Sabaj headphone amp into the output and was then able to just flip the switch to DIA to use headphones with different devices connected while doing so I noticed that when I turned up the volume on this product, the sound coming out of the headphones was not particularly loud with the volume knob set to 2 o'clock and turned further to keep it from being louder. I use cheap Philips headphones (no bass , but clear mids and…

First First Impression: Well packaged in a box that gives the impression that it's worth a lot more than the asking price. The device is slim, solid and feels premium. Only gripes are the lack of a 1/4" jack, which most would prefer to use for a stationary device, and perhaps the lack of gold-plated sockets, which would have made the optics even bigger. Performance: This depends a lot on your input. Driven from the headphone output via the front panel jack it amplifies the input a bit as I was…

There are several tube audio devices in my collection of audio devices. These include a classic Fender tube guitar amp, a Music Hall Dac 23.5, a Schiit Lyr 2 and now this. I recently decided to buy a small external DAC and amplifier for use with headphones as I am currently at university where listening to music with no setup is really an option. I've looked at various small "tube" headphone amps and thought this was the most elegant solution of all. I don't think I made a bad decision…
