Hello,

I would like to present my observations about the Aiyima T1 PRO preamplifier in combination with the Aiyima A07 MAX amplifier.

I have had the Aiyima A07 MAX amplifier for about half a year.
From the very beginning, I was very impressed with how such a "small box" can play so powerfully. I listened to it in combination with large Pylon Audio Diamond 28 MKI and Avance Omega 509 MKII floor-standing loudspeakers, and in each case it sounded very dynamic and entertaining, although I must admit that it was tiring in the long run, but I prefer a warmer, tube sound. This is what I missed in the sound of the Aiyima A07 MAX, the tube charm and sweet midtones.

I decided about the need for a preamplifier, and Aiyima presented a new T1 PRO model with tubes, matching the design of the A07 MAX.
I thought that's it, after connecting and turning on T1 Pro for the first time, I was shocked, the sound has changed significantly and in every aspect it's definitely a big plus.

So, one by one, the high tones have become more refined, there are no sibilants, they are detailed, but not sharp. The midrange has been properly tightened, human voices sound natural, they are not dry (as was the case with the A07 MAX itself). Finally, the bass is fast and very well controlled, there is no rumble.

Overall, the whole thing sounds much more cultured and mature. There was more space in the sound and what surprised me was the holography, the sound gained a lot of depth, it is definitely not a flat sound.

It's shocking that you can get such a fantastic sound at such a low price, thanks Aiyima!

So, if anyone has A07 MAX and is considering adding T1 PRO, I highly recommend it. You certainly won't be disappointed with this system upgrade.

Best regards
Kamil

Thank you for the details. I fee the Aiyima T1 PRO is awesome. I will check out this combination.
 
So I have this little wonder as well. I actually acted upon my suspicion that this could even be better, feeding it some clean power. I purchased a 12 volt 15 watt linear power supply. I became a believer in clean power, after powering my SMSL SU-1 with a dc battery, eventually replacing the same with a 5v linear power supply. Give it a try. I opted for a BRXHiFi Linear power supply I got off ebay. If you like AliBaba, perhaps you can save even mor money there.

By the way, I have a question about the AUX port on the T1 Pro. Is it ok to output to powered speakers, using the aux port ? It is 2v, and I don't want to damage my JBL PartyBox 200. Does anyone know?
