I bought this C9ii amp to pair with my Cayin N7+ and 64 Audio A18t CIEMs, specifically because the N7+ balanced output impedance is 1.2 Ohms, the C9ii is only .2 Ohms and 64 Audio recommends .5 Ohms output impedance or less else the bass starts to degrade. There are dozens of sound-shaping button options and this amp gives me bigger, yet still technical sound and really makes all my songs and genres extremely enjoyable... basically perfect. The Tubes are awesome. I bought the cover as well and highly recommend it. The only negative is that removing the battery cartridge has been impossible without the help of a second person. Luckily, I don't plan open replacing batteries any time soon. With both my N7+ and C9ii set to AB amp (which is my preference), both boxes get only slightly warm after an hour of listening. Set this way, they both will have well over 10 hours battery life. I also prefer the Modern tube timbre.
Love this cayin c9ii, it gives my hiby r8 ii a different presentation of sound and also warms it up, also increases soundstage and makes vocals so sweet and emotional! Definitely recommend!
Sounds great on iems and headphones. I find this pairs well with extremely low impedance iems, especially for bassheads.
I normally only like open back headphones.. but today that has changed… one word about the Valhalla, super..
Personally, considering the driver configuration and the product's release timing, I had a preconceived notion that this product would be a replica of Canpur 752B, so I had no intention of purchasing this product. However, the evaluations of people who purchased and experienced this product made me think that my guess might be wrong. In conclusion, this product is the IEM that I currently use most frequently on a daily basis. As a bonus, you can get great design elements that other IEMs cannot match and a perfect fit. Thank you to Musicteck for opening the opportunity to purchase such a great product identical to this new one.
Set is absolutely gorgeous and it’s brighter tuning compliment very well already acquired Multiverse Mentor. Thanks to MusicTeck for handling both orders.
Highly recommended.
I am writing this feedback to express my absolute delight with the MASS-KOBO Model 475. After spending quality time with this amplifier, it has completely blown my expectations away and proven to be a phenomenal investment.
As an audiophile who deeply loves the organic, majestic, and rich sound of legendary analog reel-to-reel systems—specifically the iconic Telefunken M10 tube tape machine—I never imagined a battery-powered solid-state amp could evoke that same emotional response.
The Model 475 behaves less like a modern portable device and more like a high-end tube masterpiece. The pure Class A topology delivers a phenomenally holographic and spacious presentation. The midrange possesses that exact "fleshy," liquid, and soul-stirring warmth reminiscent of the classic Telefunken tube sound. It wraps around vocals and acoustic instruments like cello, violin, and piano with an effortless, lifelike weight, while the background remains pitch-black and dead silent. The current delivery and control over transducers are nothing short of masterful.
The MASS-KOBO Model 475 has genuinely elevated my portable listening experience to an elite level. For anyone seeking true desktop-grade fidelity on the go without sacrificing that magical, analog musicality, this amplifier is a masterpiece. 10/10!
So, I’m going to start this review with a fundamental disclaimer. I am 67 years young, and was privileged to live through the golden years of our hobby. Names like Saul Marantz, Avery Fisher, John Dahlquist, and James B. Lansing were not corporate abbreviations, they were the foundational cornerstones of hi-fi.
Over the years, I have worked in some of my locale’s last high-end brick and mortar stores.
That being said, I am not one to use flowery language that continually falls back on the false topics of “soundstage, imaging, width, depth, height, blah, blah, blah. Most of us listen to multi-track recordings that have none of the above listed attributes included in the recording, producing, or mastering processes.
Okay, so what about the Palavox? Simply put, the Palavox are complete game changers.
They’re incredibly comfortable. The included cable is supple and doesn’t tug on my ears. This transducer is as close to having a pair of Dahlquist DQ-10s strapped to the side of my head and ears as I’ve ever experienced!
By the way, Andrew and his staff at MusicTeck have made the lack of a physical store to visit almost meaningless. It is always such a pleasure to interact with him.
Very highly recommended!!!
