Title: new hi all darkvoice 336c and grado ps500 headphones
Post by: arvin999 on 8 Nov 2017, 08:41 pm

Hi all,based in the UK,I am new to the forum, I own a Darkvoice 336c tube amp with tung sol 6080 power tube and a pair of grado ps500s.

I was wondering whats the best power tube for this setup to match my 32 ohm headphones,the grado ps500s to my amp?

Thanks all.

Your Darkvoice produces 1watt of output and is designed to drive headphones up to 600ohm's.  I use this amp to drive 600 ohm Beyer headphones with great effect.  The Grado's are at the low end of design and I get a much coarser sound quality when I have tried using it with HiFiMan and Enigma Acoustic phones with low impedance under 100ohm's.  Not all amp's match well with all headphones.
