Cause all my - got it out the streets

I know the ones you looked at are in a different class than these, I'm just saying be careful when buying cheap tube amps.

Are you thinking of getting all of them, testing them, and then returning the ones you don't like? Or will you just get 1?

Those are both great watches! But those are Targeting a very different type of amp. The ones shown in the video are cheap hybrid amps. They use a chip for the amp gain control, rather than the tube, giving them basically a cheap solid state sounds. The ones I have listed are true OTL (or at least seem to be) tube amps. They seem to share the same basic components to something similar like a bottlehead crack amp, which go for $500+. Im curious as to whether these cheap chinese clones are decent enough to warrant the price since they seemingly haven't made it to the U.S. yet.

I've been told to just get a littledot amp for the money but where's the fun in that?

Here's a great video where someone baught cheap tube amps and talked about them and compared them. It was to see if cheap tube amps are worth the purchase, I think he also questioned if they are real tube amps because they worked when the tubes were removed, so it could be a solid state amp with tubes and called tube amps.

He also made a fallow up when he took them apart and talked more about them. https://youtu.be/2Zt5WPdyPTw

Yes

No there is no equaliser database for laptop speakers.

The lottery part is what I'm excited to try! No clue if it's good or bad! No reviews on YouTube or Reddit or anywhere really, so i could stumble on something great, or something that just at least gives more power to my hd600

Haven't tried these in particular but purely on the tube amp side, as a quasi collector, if 150 isn't a big loss for you and you've done some basic research on speakers, then go for it. They're often fun and surprising to play with, especially with good EQ. Don't get lost in the math or cables marketing. Much more so with big speakers in big rooms, than headphones, however. These little guys may be good in a smaller setup. Not sure with headphones.

That's a myth - no more dangerous than light bulbs or other electric devices. Don't pour gasoline on it or stack your newspaper collection next to it, and you'll be fine.

Cheap tube amps are a lot of fun for both music to speakers and guitar. They're also something of a lottery - a 150 dollar model can seem like a total waste and another of the same type a piece of magic. I have amps at 20 times that cost that are far less fun to use. Sometimes you pay for build quality but not much dynamism.

Go forth and experiment. Understanding marrying speakers matters more, too, but happy accidents happen. Tube amps are good for everything. I even got my cats one, apparently.

Moisture/humidity is one of the main killers of IEMs, I wouldn't risk that, go for TWS earbuds with IPX5/7 water resistant or waterproof ratings instead.

There's a lot of heat and such with hot tubs, it's gonna oxidize the cables, clog the ports/plugs, et cetera.

TWS earbuds can still get clogged even if they have those IPX/etc. ratings. You just have to be proactive with cleaning or wiping them after each use.

Essentially for the future, just use a clean paper towel or microfiber cloth and wipe your ear tips and IEMs after each use. That should prevent/delay the clogging/condensation/etc. issues. It's just a problem with certain IEMs, more so the ones with metal outer shell designs. And if you live in a humid area or produce a lot of body heat.

See here for how to maybe fix earwax clogging the filters/nozzles: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/yzkk5e/how_to_remove_ear_wax_from_iem_without_damaging_it/ix13bpo/

Basically use 90+% isopropyl alcohol but make sure the IEM nozzle is facing down as you don't want alcohol to get inside and possibly damage the coating/drivers/etc. behind the nozzle/filters/etc. And then wait several minutes for it to dry, better to wait an hour or so for near certainty that everything is dry.

Not B2, but my Variations usually have wet filters when i wear it during rainy days. The iem itself is fine though.

My timeless soaked in water too once, works fine after dried out.

But then in the end it's just luck, chifi tends to randomly dies if you have bad luck. Well applies to anything, just more common in chifi.

I personally would just use bluetooth speaker for long bathroom session.

I love fosi as a brand, they make amazing products, but those amps are more of a hybrid or solid state with tube pass through. Not exactly what I'm looking for

I have a fosi audio I got off Amazon, swapped the tubes for ge milspec.

It was 50 bucks. And honestly I was blown away. No issues going on 1 year later

👍 will consider

They don't have a water rating, most if not all of chi-fi doesn't

My left ear piece stopped working just sitting on my desk.

But, sure, take them into a hot tub.

From what I’ve heard cheap tube amps are a fire hazard. I have no experience with tube amps, my only amp is my Apple dongle but cheap tube amps are generally advised against wherever I go

They sucked like the vacuum?

Think it was a bit of a marketing ploy

Direct Amp Cooler, that's what it stands for isn't it?

You need cable risers. A few drones should do the trick.

I think you answered your own question

I am sure you can replace those LEDs with RGB LEDs then you can sell those around 99$ to some gamer.
