Description

Experts agree that tube rectification is the gold standard because it is quieter than solid state rectification, dropping the noise floor. It also offers the most natural, textured, and vibrant presentation because the circuit is now pure tube. But because it is expensive to implement, you’ll only find it in the top of the line models typically costing  $10,000 or more. Finding a preamp using one rectifier tube is sweet. The best tube preamps use analogue volume controls. Not volume control chips. Look inside the most well-known brand of tube preamps and you will see a chip called a DS1666-10 Digital Resistor IC. At Primaluna, we understand the temptation to use this chip as they cost $4 each (half that in quantity!). The preamp will sound fine and be quiet, but true to “chips” it will add an electronic “sheen” to the sound.

Just picked up the Cayin iHA-8 from Nick at Noteworthy Audio, and this one really surprised me.
I’m running the iHA-8 with my HIFIMAN HE6 Remastered, and I already had the SPL Phonitor XE, so I honestly wasn’t expecting the iHA-8 to make much of a difference. After spending some time A/B’ing them, though, I ended up preferring the iHA-8 with the HE6 Remastered. It has the power, control and dynamics to really wake up the HE6, and in my system it actually beats the SPL XE.
What impressed me just as much was the buying experience. This is my third purchase from Nick at Noteworthy Audio, and once again everything was absolutely smooth. I’m in Vancouver, and the shipping was ridiculously fast "overnight on Saturday". Honestly, it arrived faster than some things I’ve ordered from Amazon. 😂
And I wouldn’t limit that recommendation to Canadian customers. If you’re anywhere that Noteworthy Audio can ship to, I’d definitely consider giving Nick a shot. Great gear, great service, and incredibly fast shipping.
Overall: 5/5 from me. The Cayin iHA-8 is an excellent match for the HE6 Remastered, and Nick at Noteworthy Audio has once again delivered a first-class buying experience. Three purchases in, and I’ll definitely be back for the next piece of audio gear. Highly recommended, whether you’re in Canada or ordering internationally.

Good service. The Chorus amplifiers have really punched up the mid-base.

Fast service.

At first I had my doubts, but once I included the LAIV uDDC in the chain to my LAIV Harmony DAC, I did hear more clarity and punch in the bass frequencies. It was a surprising tweak to the system.

The salespeople were helpful and pleasant.

Noteworthy audio is my go to place for all the audio needs. This is where you will find the very best selection of the latest and finest audio pieces.

Their service is nothing short of exceptional. Nick always will make sure that each purchase is meticulously packaged before it is shipped. Almost 3000 miles later and packages always arrive pristine. Plus I still don’t understand how Nick manages to ship the stuff almost at light speed :)

I have bought audio pieces there from $3000 to $30000 and have always been extremely happy with how I have been treated.

.Thank you.

I purchased this lovely Shanling Onix disc player from Noteworthy Audio. I was offered a unit that had been repaired for a fair price and the unit came looking new and performed admirably. Noteworthy were very responsive regarding communication and shipping was very fast. I would definitely buy from them again.
