Product Description
Despite appearances, you don’t have to shell out a small fortune for a high-performance headphone amplifier. Producers of some of the most affordable tube amps around, Bravo Audio packs an absurd amount of power into its products for the price tags Read More
Anyone definitive on the Gold Lion ? Sounds unlikely this drop will include a genuine one. Maybe their china factory just sends them a fake-gold lion and labels it as genuine like many china products? Was one step away from purchase good thing I read the discussion.
Contacted Drop support and they confirmed they shipped out without the Gold Lion tubes due to some issue at the warehouse.
They said they would endeavor to supply the missing Gold Lion tubes but no promises. They did offer a refund, but I’d personally want a guarantee that they’ll ship the Gold Lion tubes instead. That’s the entire reason I joined this drop and waited a month to get it vs getting it in two days from Amazon.
Update: I am now content with Drop's resolution of this issue. Although the overall experience was frustrating, I don't fault Drop entirely since they appear to have been lied to by their supplier for this drop.
Exactly my issue. A refund is an inadequate resolution (what is the average interest rate for a 1-month loan?), and a nebulous nonbinding "promise" to "try" to supply the missing Gold Lion tubes is just insulting to my intelligence.

According to Drop's terms & conditions: "Drop strives to provide accurate descriptions of products and services on the Drop Sites. Drop does not guarantee, however, that the descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. If a product or service offered on the Drop Sites is not as described, your sole remedy is to return the item."
Given that Drop would only incur administrative costs if every single customer returned their bravo v2, the exclusive remedy provided by Drop would likely be deemed unconscionable.
Drop has a duty to rectify this, either by sending out a replacement Gold Lion ECC82 to each purchaser or through some other means.
Disclaimer: I am not a licensed attorney and this is not legal advice. I am only a law student and this is just my basic impression.
I sure am surprised Drop is immediately offering the same product again, after the last "drop". They're setting themselves up for a boatload of returns.
Agreed. An inaccurate description would be something like an incorrect color or if this runs off of 12V instead of 24V. This is false advertising. It's not like Drop didn't have an opportunity to inspect the product before reshipping it to all the buyers.
I'm currently communicating with support at a rate of one email per day. I have responded to every email from support within 20 minutes of receipt.
The tube in mine also just says bravo! Most reviews say the gold lion is significantly better... I’m trying it out now for the first time with Koss KSC75. I’ll give it a chance at a second listen with the 4XX and a couple other Koss headphones, but I’m not impressed yet.
That’s a bummer. I was kicking myself for having missed out in the last drop. Since this drop is active again did Drop offer you a replacement?

I am excited for this drop to deliver; this kind of special bundle and price is what a good Drop is all about.
And even though it is not a true tube only amplifier, I look forward to what tube sound can taste like one way or another.
I was going to dismiss this but if you factor in the gold lion tube then it's about half off of what you can get from Amazon. Very tempting. Fun cheap tube sound
Got mine recently. It may be a specially-branded Gold Lion tube, or not at all. Perhaps Bravo Audio got a bulk deal on producing the Gold Lion tubes? Hard to say, as there is no note included to that effect. The tube included just says "Bravo Audio" on it, and there's a lot number stamped on the tube, but there is no indication it is a true Gold Lion tube. It does not say "ECC82" nor have the "Gold Lion" logo on it, and it has silver-colored pins rather than the gold pins of a true Gold Lion tube.
i have a pair of sony professionals mdr 7506 and a pair of grando sr80es and I'm gonna get either Hd 6XXs or HE4XXs i was wondering how good this amp is gonna be for the sonys and Granados and it the other 2
