Massdrop x Alex Cavalli Tube Hybrid Amp (CTH)

Aug 11, 2017

What, you bagged Alex in a deal? I can't believe Massdrop got the headphone amp god onboard. I have been drooling over his amps for years and thought to get one when he released Carbon but I really wanted a tube amp and his tube amps were just out of my reach, not anymore. I think they'll be loads of people knocking at Alex's door On Monday. Thank you Massdrop, this is truly Christmas in August! A special thank to Alex, you're amazing that's all I can say.

MusicIsGreatAFAIK, this is not actually made by Cavalli, just has the name licensed. Made in China too.

ixoI thought the LC and the final runs of the amps were made in China, built to Cavali specs. I was mistaken.

AllanMarcusHey All, Actually...none of the Cavalli Audio amps have been made in China. This is a new collaboration where Alex has completely designed the amp and worked on its development but Massdrop is providing the platform and supply chain on this one.

ixoDesigned by Cavalli, you and I and majority of people know most of everything is made in China including Apple products so let's not make it less than what it is. Cavalli has a knack at board and enclosure designs nowadays does not matter much if quality is controlled. Also don't include all Chinese companies as shady, there are some top Chinese manufacturers that would put U.S. companies to shame. If you think it's not worth it then let others enjoy it. It will only going to be your loss.

CEE_TEEInteresting not what I would have expected he would agree to to bear his brand name, I thought that he would have been the main part of the implementation team. This, in a way, changes everything or at least to think about what you're getting. Thanks CEE_TEE for the clarification. In this case can you explain how you expect to maintain that product's quality, close to 250$ is not small change? One more thing, you may want to be careful when you say "Built from the ground up by Alex Cavalli" in your description if it's not quite the case.
