I've been wanting a tube amp of my own and I know Darkvoice is respected but I didn't realize it was a bass head amp, which honestly doesn't change my interest but peaks it. What head phones are you rocking on it?

Mastaboog749My go to cans with the DV are my BeyerDynamic 250 ohm DT 1990 Pro's. But, I've driven Senn 6XX & 800s, as well. The thing about the DV that gives it a stronger look to buy over the likes of the XDUOO TA-30;
Full disclosure: I would not drive <80 ohm load with it. What was its strength, now becomes its weakness. The high current begins to show frequency bleed and it's, on paper, horrendous distortion signature. But, that is how it is with MOST low/mid-line tube amp/preamps. PLEASE, if you try it, you have to try some of the following HiRes BASS Riff's Eddie's Opening Synth from Van Halen's JUMP My buddy, Chris Wolstenholme's ANYTHING, but especially Muse's Dig Down or Hysteria
The Chain – Fleetwood Mac Money – Pink Floyd Riders On The Storm - The Doors Schism – Tool Peaches – The Stranglers C'MON CHOIR, FILL IN THE REST OF THE SONG BOOK!
ADVANCED BASS CLASS: For EXTRA POINTS! Thanks to some extra capacitor tricks only on the 6.35mm headphone Out (and missing from the RCA Outs) Go straight from the DV's Headphone Out with Audioquest Custom 6.35mm Stereo to Dual Mono 6.35mm to Any better audio interface or HIGH QUALITY MIX SOURCE My studio uses UA VOLT 276 then Speakons to Mackie BST 15's Powered Mackie DSM 18 Sub Now, sit in front of this creation (clothing optional, if not in public) with your preferred Open-back audiophile headphones firmly strapped on your head Give the beast some GAIN!!! I promise you as that sweet thunder rolls, You will have a smile on your face like you just discovered lusty pleasures for the VERY FIRST TIME!!!
- It's strictly a tube headphone amp/preamp - giving you preferences over DAC, Decoding, etc.
- The sheer live current coming off this unit feeds my hungry DT what she wants- making her hum!
- IT'S RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE!

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
