Your Drop amp is about as far away from tubes as you can get. Get the Quicksilver amp and you’ll be in a whole new world. Woo Audio would be another excellent option if it’s in your budget.
Tube Amp with a Preamp and Headphone Jacks
Hi. I have a CARY tube amplifier and I would love to be able to get CAD-808 sound protruding through a preamp headphone jack (on the face of the PreAmp). Will I get CARY to sound out of my preamp or will I get the PreAmp’s sound, being solid state or preamp tube?
I have Drop Focal Elex (80 ohms) headphones and Drop AAA 789 currently. Will I be getting better sound from a tube amp or is it impossible? Thank youDave

+1 @ghdprentice You want a separate headphone amp to do your headphones justice. I’d highly recommend the Quicksilver tubed headphone amp, which, at about $1200 or so is quite a bargain and will certainly give you that tube magic. Best of luck. |
