Knuckledragger Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 It's pretty, but... the headphone jack(s) are on the back, and the mini one is below the USB port? Yuck. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Posted June 11, 2008 Two words with some numbers: Emu 0404 USBNot the same target market, I don't think. The Bellari == mostly a phono preamp; listening to vinyl directly to headphones, with the ability to digitize it as bonuses; the Emu == the ability to digitize line level signals, but you still need a phono preamp. Neh? Quote
Icarium Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 That thing that holds the tube in (And/or dampens vibrations?) looks like a stupid pain in the ass. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Posted June 12, 2008 Yes, but it protects it from the occasional unidentified falling object. Quote
riceboy Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Pretty cool looking with the tube. I just like tubes in general though Quote
Icarium Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 I would just be angry in the "HALP I MISPLACED MY SCREW DRIVER OR HAX THINGY BUT I NEED TO TUBE ROLL" situation. Quote
postjack Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 pliers would probably do the job. on my VP129 it was fucking impossible without pliers, I kid you not. but hell, its a 12ax7 tube on a cheap ass phono stage. just throw in an Ei and be done with it. that one you only need your tooly thing once.

blessingx Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Just heard the Bellari HA540 headphone amp today with a few sources (mostly Chords) and HD800s. Only a couple discs, but way better the $300 price would indicate. Surprising even. Plenty of gain for the Senns, etc. Curious about a better tube. http://www.rolls.com/product.php?pid=HA540 Edited February 21, 2012 by blessingx Quote
