On DJ Okawari’s Kaleidoscope, the HD800’s superb detail and extended treble helped bring out every little nuance in the music.

This is a forgiving amplifier that does not lose much, if any, detail in the process. The compression and loudness of the album never got in the way of the music and the sound never became too revealing or analytical. I was able to listen to Lacuna Coil’s Dark Adrenaline album at full blast without any sense of fatigue. The treble of the Sennheiser HD800 was well tamed by the warmth of the 12AU7 tube and was buttery smooth without becoming strident, even on the poorest of recordings. I was able to enjoy my entire library with this combination. Dynamics were excellent and the synergy worked well with all genres of music. There was more than enough power for the 300ohm headphones. The pairing of the “Play It By Ear” and the Sennheiser HD800 was absolutely sublime. The “Play It By Ear” has the strengths of both tube and solid-state and brings them together in a way I did not think was possible without spending thousands on a top-of-the-line (TOTL) amplifier. Transparency is excellent and the sound is devoid of any grain. The bass is punchy, deep, and well integrated with the midrange. The treble is smooth, effortless, and flowing. There is a great sense of coherency and connectedness in its sound. Simply, the “Play It By Ear” defines musicality.

Internal filtering and regulation ensure that the amplifier is transparent and free of distortion or colorations. Though the amplifier does not seem very powerful, it was able to drive my Sennheiser HD800 with ease and the volume knob was never above 11 o’clock. The power supply is a Lambert-branded 19V wall wart and the stock tube is a Russian-made Electro-Harmonix 12AU7. It is able to drive headphones between 16 and 300 ohms up to 100mW. The “Play It By Ear” is a single ended Class A hybrid headphone amplifier utilizing a single 12AU7 twin triode tube and one Class A Mosfet per channel. Each part of the amplifier is well finished and of premium quality, nothing feels cheap or DIY. There is a single pair of RCA inputs in the back and sturdy ¼-inch headphone jack in the front. The solid construction and tube protection allows the amplifier to be placed on a busy desktop without worry of damaging the tube or amp. The single 12AU7 tube is well protected by an aluminum enclosure that is part of the main chassis as vibrations are absorbed by an inner rubber ring that holds the tube in place. Everything is solid metal except for the clear plastic faceplate which features a blue LED “Lambert” logo that serves as the on/off indicator.

The case is made of thick aluminum with a soft matte finish that feels great to the touch. Lambert’s “Play It By Ear” has exceptional build quality for the price and a simple yet practical design. The “Play It By Ear” costs $499, and in my opinion, cannot be beat for the price when it comes to tube-driven musicality and enjoyment – seriously, this is a fun little amp! Lambert’s newest products aim to be simple and musical, yet affordable and high quality. The “Play It By Ear” is a headphone amplifier from The Lambert Company and part of their new “Small Wonder” line of products.
