FX Audio TUBE-03 Preamp Buffer

I upgraded the same preamp (same internal components though with a different brand name) with a pair of Burson V5i-D opamps (these fit inside the casing) and a pair of Vokshod 6J1P-EV military tubes and replaced the power supply with an iFiPower linear power supply with excellent results. While "audiophile purists" would frown in this, I like that its tone and bass controls give me the flexibility to compensate for poor recordings and a less-than-ideal listening area.

BattousaiX26I believe they both use the same PCB. Open the case and check if the opamps are socketed in or soldered. If it uses a pair of NE5532 opamps, be sure to get compatible dual DIP-8 opamps such as the MUSES8920, LM49860, LM4562, etc. which are all good opamps. Next level opamps are the discrete Burson V5i-D and the Sparkos SS3602. Don't get the ones that are too tall or too wide.

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.
