xDuoo TA-20 Plus combines Tubes and Class-A with success 

That will be done when I review Apos Ray Tubes.

Thanks 👍

My tubes for both amps are Shuguang Black Treasures (4) and Sophia Aqua 5u4g (1).

@@tubefreeeasy but why 2 xduoo instead of one higher quality tube amp?

@@soulfulfool I feel, my TA22 is changing my iPhones Bluetooth signal from my tubed processed DAC to another tubed amp (TA30). The TA22 DAC uses two ESS DAC chipsets. One per tube for procession. The TA30 uses a blue colored rectifier tube and has a single ESS 9038. That tube offered a musically balanced signature for my preamp. I feel, I need a separate xDuoo tubed dac and tubed preamp so the processed tube signal (TA22) will receive more tubed sound treatment (TA30). These are two high quality amps that sound as good as the tubes you use on your unit. Then, my powered Kanto Tuks and my RSL 10” does its magic from my desktop system.

I’m trying to get a tube signal even more tubed.

@@tubefreeeasy I remember times when I tubed THX AAA 887 it was fantastic

What linear supply do you use for the 604?

Thanks! 👍

Coming soon

thanks for the upcoming review @@iiWiReviews , can you also make a brief comparison with the older version of the same company the TA 20 ?, thanks' in advance

OMG it's stuck somewhere in a pile of boxes and I completely forgot I have it. 😖 That would be very close since A70 pro has slightly more resolution than L70 and less than A90D... It's also on a warmer side tonally.

hi,this is low class amp get yourself ifi xdsd pro also tubes it matches overall system budget

@@zzezzobike Thank you very much.

i dont no

No. The outputs are pass-through, not tube-processed nor volume-controlled.

Thanks for replying -- this means it wouldn't suit me.

If headphones are good enough to show it, S17 Pro is richer and bigger sounding, with better detail retrieval.

This amp is one of the options, and a very good one too. It has the power and its bassy and warm sound would complement Venus well.

Z Reviews has a video that mentions this. He claims that it doesn’t impart much tube sound as a preamp.

My understanding is that the TA 20+ is NOT a preamp in that it’s RCA outputs are relaying an unprocessed, not volume-controlled input signal. So no “tube effect” and you’ll need volume control either upstream or downstream of this TA.

SMSL SU-9 Ultra would go really nice with it. If you're on a budget then take a look at my SMSL D6s review just published a few hours ago.

@@iiWiReviewsUsing it with SMSL D1SE (ESS9038PRO based). It’s a really good match.

He talks about his name at the end of this video -- I actually found it interesting!: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cr_CZMqJK9c.htmlsi=_lfeSFw0h8_dTxh9

It shows at the beginning of the video. ✌️

Why would there be? It's a headphone amp. Not a speaker amp.

@@amb3cogMany headphone amps today have speaker outputs.

@@michaelwright1602 None.

@@michaelwright1602 Show me 1.

@@michaelwright1602 actually I can think of two tube units that have them. And they're both about 1 watt. So basically useless for the majority of speakers and rooms.

Think of it more as unpacking and presenting the sound, rather than adding stuff to the sound.

Good recording is well mastered and that alone state that things have to be added to raw recording, microphones are not human ears

This one is better in my opinion.

@@iiWiReviews many thanks

@@iiWiReviewsDefinitely. I have OG TA-26 with upgraded tubes. It’s nice sounding amp for jazz or acoustic music, but slow for faster and heavier music. TA-20 Plus is just what i wanted from amp.
