Here's a chance to sample "Tube Sound"

@fLUX could you write your impressions albeit a brief one.
Thanks for the detailed review of sorts. @Kannan did you notice this when pairing it with your Infinity speakers? Looks like it needs to go-to Syed if that's the case.
The preamp is still doing rounds at Bangalore. According to Kannan and/or Syed, the tubes that came with the Fatman aren't those meant for it. So no tube rolling.
I did not do any detailed listening, just a few songs to check to ensure that it worked without any issues.
However whatever little I heard, it sounded good.
I dont remember if this model has any bias and dc offset setting. Will hunt for service manual and see.

You will enjoy it. I did. Hook it up with Saptak and see if you like it.

I second that.
Have hooked it up as a headphone amp right now with SMSL SU-8 and already amazed by the power this little amp has.
Presentation is no doubt very different from a solid state and sounds much more holographic, not very clear at volumes beyond 50% but not needing to go beyond 30% with the headphones.

If there is no one further to try these out , I dont mind retaining them with me
Also @captrajesh would love to try out the Fatman anytime it arrives back in Bangalore
Bravo Ocean Tube Preamp Impressions
I spent a fair amount of time using the loaned Bravo Ocean as a preamp and as an headphone amp. I would like to begin by saying that dont go by the size of this unit, it is a small little powerhouse and is a good addition for anyone who want to experience impact of tube pre-amp in a chain first...

Thanks for the heads-up. If there's no one else interested, we can ship it to Hyderabad as Chennai already has the Integrated.I have created a thread under reviews for my impressions

Is there anyone else in Chennai wants to sample the Integrated Amp?
Why just to Bangalore! Any other place is also fine.
Is there anyone else who'd like to try this out in Bangalore? Else I'll arrange to shift it to Hyderabad.If there is no one further to try these out , I dont mind retaining them with me
Hi, I would like to try this out. Can you please let me know from where I can pick this up?
I assume that you are referring to the Bravo Audio preamp. You may ping fLUX and schedule your pick up. And please ping me your No..
Edit:
Hope you have a power amp driving your speakers.

Any updates? If there's no interest, I'll make arrangements to shift it to Hyderabad where, some members are wanting to audition it.
