I've got an issue with my item, there is pretty loud static and crackling sounds in the background. It is sadly so loud when im not listening to anything that it gives me a headache. Does anyone know if this is a known issue with this amp, or these tubes and that it can be fixed?
I find it strange that the transformer is inside the amp, for all i know that might be what im hearing. But i am pretty sure there is something wrong, cause the static and crackling is relativly loud....
Ill appreciate any help!! Thank you :)

FinisStatic noise means there's interference happening, and interference means nearby electronic device which is highly probably your smartphone, with bad cables, it'll amplify that noise.

My unit makes an audible static noise that makes it difficult to listen to, but that’s only when it’s connected to the pc. I tried hooking it up through my monoprice DAC/amp and the noise doesn’t go away. But if I play it through my phone, it just disappears. Anyone can advise?

ShevilappleGround loop issue. Plug your phone charger into your phone on the same outlet as the amp. You’ll most likely hear static again.

I picked up a bravo audio v2 with gold lion tube. I just wanted something different to compare in the same class. I have Mullard and GE JAN tubes among others for my little dot I+. Though overall I found it a little flaky and it's rather large. The bravo actually surprised me. Im still curious about this guy...but I'm thinking now about saving space too.

So, is this a pure tube amp? If so, does that mean it wouldn't be great with very efficient headphones?
I have been looking at hybrid tube amps because my pride and joys are both 32 Ohm

I can't say about this amp, but the loxjie is excellent. I got it to use with a geshilli enog 2 Pro DAC for my verum ones, because they need low output impedance, and the geshelli has balanced outputs to go with the loxjie balanced inputs. I use this with everything now. This use case is based on using balanced inputs and balanced outputs. From what I've heard, the loxjie isn't as good using unbalanced. Tubes are great because they can be upgraded, but once you go down that rabbit hole, it'll keep you poor. The good thing about hybrids, is that you can run planers through them easier. If you have 6xx or 58xx, you want something with tubes or a hybrid. Hope this helps.

OK....I am a true rookie. How do I hook this up? Do I have to buy a receiver?
Laugh a while and then someone out there give me some directive please?

This amplifier is meant for output to headphones. It only has two sets of RCA-type inputs, but no preamp outputs. The amplifier has left and right RCA inputs, to connect to the sound output from a source device like a CD/DVD/Bluray player. Your sound bar has inputs, but I don't see outputs on it.
A source device that will work with this amp will have outputs in the form of RCA (looks like the red/white connectors on your sound bar), or possibly a headphone output where you could connect an adapter that converts the headphone output of your source to male RCA jacks. I hope that helps.

MLaffYou just need to get a source with RCA outputs. That could be a USB DAC like this (https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-grace-design-standard-dac) or a Schiit Modi (https://www.schiit.com/products/modi-1) or if you have RCA outs on your PC sound card, a CD player or your TV those would work also. You just need something that can send the audio signal from the source (spotify etc.) too the amp.

The description says 691 tubes but is this a mistake? I have seen on other sites that it uses 6J1 tubes. If someone can clarify that would be great.

Morri2From what I have researched 691 seems to be a misprint but cannot confirm. Let’s see if the good folk on here can sort this out.

Looks like a neat little amp, gateway to TA-10.
Can someone post the pcb. I wonder is it like a LD MK2 which has a solid state opamp?

There is Sale in my area, around $80
But I worry
Does this thing have bass or just pure clarity?

Received my amp only to discover, the wrong power cord in the box!!
Now I have to buy an adapter! Not happy at all. Took forever to get to me. I will think twice before ordering again from drop.

I selected the 110v U.S. plug. But that's cool,picked up a cord on Amazon for $6! Thanks though!
