Dear music-lover,
The
CORDA EARTUBE-1
is a small-power amplifier, specially designed to drive headphones. It offers
a sound quality and driving capabilities far beyond that of an ordinary headphone socket found on a
CD-player or amplifier and thus allows you to exploit the full sonic potential of your phones.
Due to the close contact to your ears, headphones provide an extreme channel separation whilst
listening to stereo recordings. Unlike loudspeakers, none of the sonic information in the left channel is
acoustically transferred to the right ear and vice versa. Although this adds to the extreme high level of
detail that can be achieved with headphones, it subconsciously also introduces mental stress. The
natural correlation of stereo sound interpreted by the brain is lost.
The
CORDA EARTUBE-1
not only offers normal stereo reproduction of your music, but it also has a
facility to add some of the left channel information to that of the right channel and vice versa. Thus
mental stress is reduced and music can be enjoyed with more ease.
By design only tubes are found inside the signal path of the amp. Solid state electronics are only used
to create a stable voltage supply.
For safety and in order to obtain the best possible results with your new headphone preamplifier, we
ask you to read these instructions carefully. The
EARTUBE-1
was developed by music-lovers for
music-lovers and we hope that it will serve you well for a long time.
