I bought a Douk Audio T6 pro and I love it

[Talisman]

I made one of the least "approved" purchases on ASR but one of the most fun from my perspective. It’s true that, in this field, emotion sometimes matters more than absolute musical quality.

As soon as I saw the product, I bought it without even thinking twice: two enormous, beautifully backlit VU meters, two RCA inputs, an AUX input, and an AUX output for subwoofers or to daisy-chain another amplifier. A Bluetooth chip with LDAC support (a rarity for this amplifier segment), two completely unnecessary but charming illuminated mini tubes, and of course, the trusty TPA3255 chip whose performance is well-known (it will likely vary depending on the load, but we already know that). It even comes with a 48V 5A power supply.

There’s no point commenting on sound quality; all I can say is that I LOVE IT.

... oh, there are those of us who rival the extent of your apostasy.

EDIT:

much fun

Not unlike the Realistic APM-100 - useless like the proverbial tits on a bull - but provides minutes of entertainment and joy.

Did you mean to post the first post in 3 new separate threads @Talisman? If in error, no problem, I deleted them. But if you intended to, can I ask why?

No absolutely, just a connection problem so he probably sent multiple threads, thanks for deleting the extra ones

It seems absurd but in me these two spirits coexist peacefully.
I believe absolutely and unequivocally in measurements, I am extremely rational, but at the same time I do not decide my purchases only based on measurements, there are things that I like for other reasons and I do not see anything wrong with them, I can enjoy various aspects of this pastime

Or, to (kind of) quote "Rockpile" (Nick Lowe/Dave Edmunds):

Well, consider this - I am a left handed analytical scientist. What do you suppose it's like inside of my head?

douk is a proponent of both TUBE and OP amp rolling right?

Perhaps more enablers than proponents.

that's fair

i mean i feel like the slew of manufactures here who do 'rolling' probably dont believe in it on a scientific level but if it pays my bills then... brother, you can bet I *believe* in it on spiritual level...
