Pronounced. “Neeeeve””

[@djentlover]

I have never heard anyone call it "Nevv" like zeos does

[@deathbloodkittens5675]

Rupeeeeeeeeeert!

[@barchetype6430]

No, its "NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE".

[@gregoryfrassetti1276]

Ha told you so! CanJam NYC 2019...we meet as we were leaving and I mentioned this Neve amp as what caught my attention the most. Glad you got a taste of this impressive unit. Wish I bought it as it was going for $400 at the show. Well there's always next year. See you there!

[@napalmhardcore]

As someone that spends a fair amount of time looking at pro audio equipment, I'm well aware of Rupert Neve's reputation. He's a legend in the pro audio world, so I went into this one quietly confident that it would be good.

[@humanbass]

For those who want to know, the output impedance is 0.08.

[@ZReviews]

I wanted to know that. Thank you

[@kellanmackenzie5230]

[@gregyarber]

I was sure you were going to rip this to shreds, but You loved the sound and that's all that maters to me. I do music mixing as a hobby and I'm new to headphone amps, but want something transparent with no added frequencies and the balanced inputs are exactly what I need with my UA Apollo audio interface. I have been looking at the Little Labs Monitor and this one and having a hard time deciding. Your honesty has helped me get closer to spending $500 on a straight forward no frills unit for what I need. I'm hoping to find a review like yours for the Little Labs Monitor too. Thank You

[@Shells456]

I’m struggling with this same decision. What amp did you end up with and how do you like it?

[@miguelbmelo]

Was really looking forward for your take on this amp.

[@LordVictorHalgaard]

The power-numbers are unreliable for that purpose, because the volume you are getting is related to the level of gain, not the power. The power is then relevant to whether it distorts/clips at that given level of gain under a given load. Same reason you can bi-amp using fx. a 400w class D amp for the lows and a 15w tube amp for the highs, without running into trouble: because the gain is the same.

[@kellanmackenzie5230]

Yazzzz bitch

[@BunnyslippersEUC]

I am glad you like the Rupert Neve. It's been my reference for 2 years. It's so neutral and transparent. I go to stores with my Neve to demo headphones.

[@Khuongreview]

@Club Soda jds labs atom is very good amp for its price. But this rp amp is next level stuff that you sould experience yourself. I own this amp it is so good so neutral. The headroom of this headphone is insanely good. It is unlike other amp.

[@asgiov]

@Club Soda I can concur with Trong... I was skeptical of the improvements going in... from the THX 887 amp... but it is next level as he said. It's totally worth the price point over the JDS Labs Atom or any of the THX Amps... despite of it's lower power output. I've never had my expectations subverted so hard by a headphone amp.

[@ryanstrickler4369]

I was sporting a set of Sen HD650's through a Scarlet Solo DAC. Sounded decent, but was on the hunt for a good amp that I could grow with. I randomly stumbled upon this amp on amazon and knew of the reputation behind Rupert Neve gear. Perked my interest, but wasn't sure if this was out of my league or not. This review made me roll the dice and pick one up. It was delivered today and let me say this. HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS. Clinical really does to mind!!! Please excuse me while I listen to my entire music library on repeat. This amp is incredible. Buy it, thank this review later.

[@odd-looking-dude]

Ryan Strickler Same here. Been running Grado RS1 on a so-so amp for years, then saw this, bought the amp, and have done nothing but listen to music since. SO GOOD! I have K&D SESSIONS on repeat. God, its a ridiculously good album. Sit down, close eyes, immerse.

[@akashafofo6939]

@@odd-looking-dude Is it good though? If clinical means I would hear the songs with more clarity but I would not love the sound I hear then what is the point of it?

[@odd-looking-dude]

@@akashafofo6939 paired with the RS1 (which have a slightly warm sound) the result is clarity, not a clinical sound. Other Grados like the 325 have a brighter more clinical sound which may not pair well with the amp. I have changed the pads for a denser larger foam, which has reduced soundstage a little and given the bass a bit more body. For my ears these parts together give clear, controlled, slightly warm sound. I love it. If you like banging bass sounds to dominate maybe other kit would be better 😁

[@akashafofo6939]

@@odd-looking-dude thank you

[@UniCrafter]

Actually reminds me, I don't think I've switched off my headphone amp in a few years. Class A transistor, from the 80s, sounds so good its almost getting better. Some gear is just magically reliable compared to others.

[@Mikesell357]

I first heard this little amp at CanJam last year and I can say, hands down I spent the most time at their booth. I didn’t go into the summit-fi room, but I will say, in the main hall, the only set ups I liked more were the ~$3000 Ampandsound paired with ZMF’s flagship at their booth, and the $12,000 Chord Dave

8:06 funny you mention that, we have a Neve Genesys Desk at Uni and once we were listening back to a mix and someone accidentally turned the main power switch off with their foot (it's a rack mount power trip with the switch up front,it turns everything but the speakers off) and the desk did exactly you mentioned with the sound as the music was still being played. We are supposed to turn the speakers off first, after that I understood that

[@ciscomoto]

Soon as I saw it I thought "Test Lab" and was looking for the oscilloscope and other gubbins to match. A very interesting and professional bit of kit as you say for a niche market rather than the many!

Excellent review. Thanks for your time.

Whenever you review studio gear I get my happy dance on

[@geucamole]

This amp is so much fun with LCD-2C. I feel like it pushes so much detail to LCD-2C meanwhile LCD-2C's dark tone and warmth make those details so easy and fun to listen. You wouldn't say LCD-2C is missing details after you listen with this one. Also the bass response of LCD-2C with RNHP felt amazing to me.

[@RaiseYourFamily]

this amp drive LCD2 Classic to full potential?volume knob to which position max?thanks!

[@geucamole]

@@RaiseYourFamily Volume knob position depends on how many volts your DAC output is, usually I find RNHP on the loud side, so if I need to address that I use my hugo 2 tt as pre-amp. I thought past 1-2 oclock in the knob is quite loud with 2 volts fed into it from qutest. I think that with a decent DAC this amp will squeeze out every detail LCD-2C can offer. This am has a certain way of presenting the music, I would say try it and see for yourself.

[@xyanide1986]

@@RaiseYourFamily for under $1000 (new) this has to be a top LCD series pairing in my book, did a LCD2 demo with a more expensive Burson Soloist and some other amps next to it and I preferred the Neve. Over $1000 new I prefer Violectric. I don't think Zeos is doing the sound much justice, it's very dynamic and everything's imaged spot on.

[@focusonjunta]

Thanks for the awesome content! Education + entertainment for those who stopped caring about 'quality' around the time 'napster' came along but are now coming to their senses after two decades to listen to quality sound... Just bought the Sennheiser HD650. I have a Focusrite Clarett 8Pre USB rack unit audio Interface (project studio grade - mid tier?). I need to push volume to 3 o'clock with my 600ohm beater AKG K141s (from early 90s...) with jazz/classical. The manual says the headphone outputs (2) have a Dynamic Range of 115 dB (A-Weighted), a THD+N of 0.0009%, and a maximum output level +15 dBu. Do you think it is worth investing in the Rupert Neve RNHP over the headphone outputs of the Focusrite? Thanks and cheers!

God after he started reviewing speakers in a huge concrete basement I started to doubt everything he ever said.

[@charlesnr]

Would have been useful to compare it to the SPL Phonitor mini 120V Rail Headphone Monitoring Amp which is their similar low price equivalent, though $300 more. No current reviews, now that there are so many hi end headphones that weren't available when it came out.

[@electedmusic7685]

One question friend. How would you rate this amp by Rupert? From 1 to 10?

“Aren’t as nice as anything here, guaranteed!” Ahh! The fine art of mixing on shitbox NS-10’s and $100 cans... Love it!

should i get this or the thx 789 amp? he said it sounds better than the thx 789, right? or to quote it, shits on its face.

[@Mikesell357]

I was at CanJam in probably '17 or '18, and spent the most time at the Rupert Neve booth listening to my iPhone 4 over 3.5mm, and I can tell you that out of that entire show, the only thing that bested that experience was the Chord DAVE, which is an unfair comparison given the latter cost twelve thousand dollars!

i love your reviews! i bought the rnhp after seeing ur review. can you review the Sony mdr-7520? it’s sony’s totl pro headphone years back and it uses the same aluminum coated LCP diaphragm thats on the z1r and z7. i’m curious to hear your perspective?

[@scottyh1509]

Just bought a pair of 7520 from Sweetwater for $290. Closed back, dynamic, sensitivity 108 db, 24 ohms, VERY easy to drive. I'm using the "ifi nano black label" from my smartphone and everything sounds great. The 7520's are a reference headphone made by Sony since 2010, very little color added. Bass, mids, and highs all sound killer. I'm amazed I was able to buy these for $290, a steal imo. The 7520's were banned in Europe because they can melt your eardrums, you do need to be careful with them. Sony has been making excellent headphones since the mid 80's, these are underrated and a fantastic value. Definitely flying under the radar.

[@bthellam]

Between the RNHP and the Little Labs Monotor, which one do you prefer?

[@clownworldresidentii5184]

yes, they punch way higher than the price suggests

[@JayJayYUP]

I mean this isn't a bad buy AT ALL if it matches the THX 789 performance. The reason being the THX 789 is for all intents and purposes extinct in terms of future supply. They're going for around the price of this anywho whenever they pop up (maybe a hair less). Honestly, I think I might consider getting this since The Magni 3 I have is annoyingly powerful. I can't get the knob past 9 if software (PC) is firing at 100% volume. Actually would like to use my volume knob without the precision of stacking pins one on top of the other.

[@cbomb1723]

Thanks for using the 909's, any idea how they sound on the Klipsch Heritage? I suppose I’ll find out, it just shipped...

[@cbomb1723]

I can’t really tell the difference between the Heritage and the THX portable. As Zeos said, it’s got a slick feature set. My 909 sounds fantastic. Sorry for the delay, it turns out my receiver was a bit limited.

[@gorantovic1473]

Hi Z! Please could you tell me what model would you recommend me, as a mixing engineer, for serious mixing and mastering work on headphones? I am thinking between THX 789 and RNHP for my HD600, but I don't have an opportunity to try them. I need something that is honest and detailed, a workhorse without any enhancements. Thank you very much! Cheers!

[@xyanide1986]

I have experience with both. The 789 does not keep up with the dynamics of the RNHP and the rnhp picks apart the music better. The 789 is like a $200 amp where the rnhp is priced appropriately. It's probably the last one you'll need, save for changing the amp flavour to suit certain headphones.

[@hvskyline1368]

Im planning on pairing this with a bifrost for editing and the jbl 305 speakers

[@ghadeeb]

What DAC would you use with this?

[@elchefe4586]

You can use it portable. I was talking to them at canjam, he told me you can buy a 24v/.25a battery pack on amazon. It also says it on the paper they were handing out at the booth.

[@kellanmackenzie5230]

You mind finding one and leaving.a link?

[@elchefe4586]

Kellan MacKenzie I don’t have the amp, I’ve never looked it up. At CanJam, that’s just what the guy at the both told me when I asked about the brochure which reads “24v dc input for use with 6 watt power supply (included) or a 24V, 0.25A battery (not included)” He said a lot of professionals using them on sets and live venues need to use the unit with battery power. Although I’m sure that battery bank would as large as a car battery, and to actually use it portable you would need to lug it around in a backpack, but still possible and needed for some use cases. If you want more info on actually finding the right battery, I would just call and talk to them.

Can I plug condenser mic in back as well and use this as amp for that as well????

[@RichardRmusic]

I am an electronic music producer but I don't have a studio for now, I always mix my tracks with a headphone "HD-25 Pro" then I go to a studio to mix properly. Now I just bought the Beyerdynamic DT 990 250ohm and confused between 2 headphone amps "Shiit Jotunheim & RNHP" but the RNHP doesn't have a builtin DAC so if I will go with the RNHP, which DAC should I get? Thanks!

[@TaxCollector17]

What's that purple box he has it plugged into called? Also, is that purple box plugged directly into his pc, or other equipment?

[@xyanide1986]

I demo'd this thing versus the burson soloist x3, the violectric v200 that both cost easily twice. This thing is a total winner, pulls apart the mids, stages well, dynamics are great. This is much preferable to any thx amp if you ask me. The bass is a little light for me, but I prefer the bass flavoured violectric v200. In other qualities this thing easily keeps up with these expensive amps. The burson if you want better staging and have the money. I think the value proposition you're making here is just wrong, you can't compare it to the THX or $100 amps.

[@kuroryu9778]

Hello, could this AMP work in mono for my IEM if i plug my aux in it?

[@spika5872]

Idk about headphones but if you really want to see the power output you need to get an oscilloscope with at least 10M Ohm probe and then probe into a different section of the system/circuit, find the phase shift and calculate the true power across the frequency spectrum. Generate a Nyquist plot if you want something fancy to show. New headphones have internal amps, filters or some other type of circuits so that whatever the spec of the output terminals of an analog circuit can be changed due to the load connected to it. Not sure how the manufacturer specifies the output characteristics of their products but most of them uses non- inductive-resistive load to characteristic the parameters. I am not into headphones and audio but I am just talking about analog circuit analysis. The power rating and ohm value really don't tell you much. Distortion across a few frequencies ranges usually caused by the frequency response curve is no longer the one specified due to whatever is on the load side. Distortion at high volume (amplification) typically caused by transistors at saturation region and no longer operates in the linear region due to the shift of Q point, which can be affected by the load etc. All that mess can't really be analyzed without an oscilloscope. The On and Off "leak-through" seems to have something to do with the improper AC coupling technique in the circuit. I can't tell why they make it like this until I see the schematic.

[@cdbrown30]

Would this level up my Yamaha surround sound ?

[@Sams911]

[@antpage2]

I had the THX SP200 amp. When i got the RNHP i was surprised how much better it sounded to my ear. The only way i can describe it is it was more colorful, more lush, more full and more detailed. It was difinitely an upgrade and worth its price. Punched above its price actually. On The Master Switch website it won "Best Solid-State Headphone Amp" and they have some pretty nice amps on that list. I know its for prostudio use (it has a screw hole on the bottom) but isnt that a good thing? I know a lot of companies use that in their marketing, even when thier product does not make the grade. But who can doubt that this does? It sounds fantastic! I got it hooked up to a Schiit Bifrost and they compliment each other very well. The Helios scales well to it. My question is what is an upgrade to this? Will it sound like this or different? I'm afraid of loosing this sound lol.

[@BunnyslippersEUC]

The Rupert Neve RNHP doesn't have a sound. It is actually designed to not colour the sound. It is made for use in a studio as a tool. It's only job is to amplify headphones with a strong yet very clean signal. It doesn't get more transparent than the RNHP.

[@antpage2]

@@BunnyslippersEUC Really? ive heard it described as a warm amp, i've used it to help control bright headphones

[@BunnyslippersEUC]

@@antpage2 No it's not warm. It just delivers proper amplification. The other amp people think is neutral is just very thin sounding, without lots of clean current. I have the Aune B1s classA amplifier. Which is very warm sounding in classA mode. My Musical Fidelity classA is somewhere between the B1S and the Rupert. So slightly warm sounding, but crazy open sounding compared to the Rupert. The highs are sweet sounding not peaky on the Musical Fidelity. The resolution in the detail and the resolution in dynamics isn't as good as the Rupert. My Cyan tube amplifier is just insanely coloured. Very warm chewy open relax sounding. Edit You stealth edit your post. So I edit my post. Some headphones can sound harsh in the highs, because they aren't powered properly. No the Rupert isn't warm sounding. My bright Ultrasone Pro 900i sound is U-shape and remains that way on the Rupert.

[@draztiqmeshaz6226]

@@NeapolitanApe it's called gain staging

[@b-rizlamusic8788]

Reducing volume level in the computer/software is reducing bit depth. Gain staging should be done at the analog stage/at the interface output not in DAW master/spotify software level. Same goes for audio over HDMI and Optical, 100% digital level to the amplifier is best. When using a headphone jack/motherboard audio/analog outputs distortion starts outweighing volume benefit between 80-85%

[@lastweekslightning]

Oh Zeos.... Please know your equipment when you dive into the pro audio area. Neve is pronounce Neeeve for one, and his consoles/channel strips/mic pres have been used for many years in major studios. I had the pleasure running one in Nashville for a period of my life. Still love your videos man, but this piece of gear is not meant for consumers.... Well, generally. If you were coming off a console, protools HD setup, or even a high end DAW using a good interface the output is going to be much more powerful than a dap, computer, whatever so there's no need for high power output for studio headphones. They're a complete different beast. Even my RME Firface 800s output would about smash any preamp, or any other average Joe's media player and an SSL or Neve console has even more headroom than that. Again, just a different beast meant for something other than at home use.

[@sethfm9773]

Except for the fact that it is being sold and advertised to consumers. I had the pleasure of hearing it at Can Jam this year in NYC. Not one person was waiting to hear it so I walked over, plugged in and was very happy with what I heard.

It looks like a old health kit or Scott tube amps from the late 1950s.

[@zanza_the_rewolverine]

This can drive Audeze mm500?

[@chrischamberlain25]

You should have a go on the zähl hm1

[@burg856]

24 Volts times .25 amps gives you 6 watts. Low amps better? Maybe something to think about.

[@wilfredbao9998]

mad scientist!!!

[@tomrisar5492]

I think it is time for you(Z) to get this type of amp built in China, with your label, ready for sale to your subscribers.

[@Hahejo]

Mr. Rupert just turned 95 2 days ago.

[@iridescentgherkin]

Turn up the volume and hit number 0 on your keyboard every second.

[@ZReviews]

That is $4.95 a minute for the first 3 minutes..

[@aceofspades6667]

going back to classic zeos.. poverty apartment with goodwill pants man those were the day. you could hear the hunger in his reviews. Not it's all milk honey and making it rain dakoni tips from his upper level.

[@m4nc1n1]

Love that knob!

[@xray111xxx]

Neeeeeeeve Neeeeeeeeve. Not Nev! I have wondered about this forever! $500.00 special, or just his name on something so so. Zeos make it honest man! This Rupert Neve is the Albert Einstein. My audio hero!

[@tommypickle9873]

I have used both the Rupert Neve and Little Labs Monitor. The little labs Monitor sounds better has more power and has 2 -1/4" and 2 -3.5mm jacks. YMMV.

In conclusion "It's going to shit on their face" I always visit for Z's professionalism :D

[@MrCri95inter]

Where the heck is the monoprice thx amp review?

[@ZReviews]

I need to get the firmware upgraded so the rear analog inputs aren't out of phase.. THEN I can properly test it against things with other dacs. So soon. And the portable review is done but it isn't on amazon and I can't afford to release that until it is.

[@MrCri95inter]

@@ZReviews had I know you'd have answered I'd have tried to sound less rude, thanks though

[@MrCri95inter]

Btw would it make sense for me to buy the thx 789 if it ever drops again given that I don't have a computer and play music from a fiio x5 III? or should I just go for a portable amp (eg fiio a5)?

[@barchetype6430]

@@ZReviews 16:10 You said how something sounds!!

[@kellanmackenzie5230]

@@MrCri95inter you can buy a 2.5 mm balanced cable to two 3-pin XLR or just run RCA outs because the THX 789 AAA isn't equipped with balanced inputs. Much like aune x7s

[@m4nc1n1]

Review the DAC!

[@sz004]

No complaints about no XLR output? Lost your faith in balanced outputs?

[@rhodey2952]

Szymborak not really needed. Plenty of power to run argons. Sure if you have something harder than that then yeah get a amp that's balanced. This is a really good amp from what I hear. Better than thx.
