    Great review. Got this when it 1st came out, and it had this hi-res sticker on the top. Which made no sense at all. Glad they got rid of it. This little tube amp makes my HE400SE sound perfect.

    Might get this for a smaller print. Was planning on getting a hybrid tube with those toroidal transformers so I can use them with speakers as well. What do you think, will iems work with something as beefy as that ported through an ifi iematch?

    Nice Review, thanks. Do you think that this can move some HE400SE and make a good combination?

    Yes it will be good for the HE400SE.

    Thanks for the video. Do you know how it compares with the nobsound ns-08e ?

    I gifted my NS-08E to a friend years ago, so I can't really give a legitimate answer. However, from memory, I think the Tube 02 Pro is superior with better clarity and less background noise.

    I'm surprised you didn't compare it against the xduoo stuff. To me this is a much more compelling budget option than the mt 601/mt 602. As of now with the 15% coupon it's around $56USD. This costs less than the both of those models and saves you enough money to buy another set of tubes if you want to try rolling. I really didn't like the mt602 and returned it, even though it seemed popular. I figured I'd rather get the Vali 2 from Schitt for a few more dollars if I was going to get a hybrid amp or just save up and buy a real one. Is the gain stupid high like the xduoo? I also like the second set of switchable inputs and according the FX they have a circuit to suppress pops when plugging/unplugging.

    Yes, it does have a mute circuit. I like the dual inputs too - it's especially useful for comparing different DACs. Yes, the gain is high, which is why I wouldn't recommend it for people who only use IEMs. You can circumvent that by lowering the volume of your source/music software etc but I don't like that compromise. I should have compared it with the xDuoo amps but all my videos are 'lite' versions at the moment while I'm catching up with/clearing my backlog. I will say that I don't remember hearing background noise with the MT602 even though it has higher output power. Regardless, the Tube 02 Pro is insanely good value at $56!

    @@PrimeAudioReviews I don't mind a quick review. I can see why you wouldn't bring in another product, it runs the risk of being too long. It looks great for those curious about the tube sound.

    Mine came with counterfeit NE5532 op Amps so it's crap. Fortunately, they have sockets, so I replaced the fake NE5532's with real NE5532's and instantly notice an improvement in sound quality. If you hve ever measured a fake NE5532 you will see they have a higher noise floor and a poorer response. I had high hopes, but is the first and last time I will purchase another FX-Audio product.
