PHATLAB AUDIO PHANTASY REVIEW

” In both hi-Z and low-Z settings, it supplies a rich, but clear signal with a great affinity for female vocals – to certain headphones. And, both Z settings are bass light. Being a very tubey amp, Phantasy puts out loads of harmonic distortion, and is prone to early onset of IMD both under load and not. The good news is that sizzling IMD doesn’t affect normal to loud listening levels with any load I have tried. I listen to the 600Ω DT880 at volume levels no higher than 15% – 20%, at which settings, IMD is about as low as you can expect from a SET design. Phantasy kicks out sizzle-free signal into the DT880/600 up to a rotation of about 50% of its volume pot, which is well loud.”
