Hey, friends, in this video, I will discuss the ampsandsound Nautilus Flagship personal audio tube integrated amplifier, review its features, build quality, specs, design, overall quality of sound, and how it compares to the ZMF Pendant Tube Headphone Amplifier and to the Mogwai OG tube amplifier. I test the Nautilus Tube Amplifier alongside the Matrix Element X, NAD C 658 Streamer, Topping D90 Digital Analog Converter, Bluesound Nodi 2i, and Schiit Bifrost 2 digital-analog converter paired with several pairs of headphones such as the Hifiman HE6SEV2, Rosson Audio Rad-0, ZMF Verité Open, ZMF Aeolus, Meze Empyrean, and the KEF LS50 Meta speakers to give my overall conclusions.

Loved it with the Susvara and Verite Closed. It brought the best out of the DCA Stealth. It really brings out the best in everything. I loved it so much I bought one.
@Roger Huston that's awesome!!!!
@@MarcelloRostagni Justin had a black on black one made for him, but he gave me a great deal on it. Took it home from CanJam
Smart man!
How did you like it with the stock tubes?
@@duranxv - Loved it, which is why I bought it. I hae no need to tube roll, but when I do, I know it will change the sound. If the change is better or worse, that is subjective. What I can tell you, is I saw a lot of people try the Nautilus and with the stock tubes most people felt it was the best they've ever heard their headphones. I have a friend with the Cayin 300b and on the Naut his 1266's was the best he's heard it. I heard the same over and over again. So yea, it sounds great with the stock tubes.
Love the fact that you reviewed this amazing amp over the course of months. Super professional review.
Thank you, @TheLastRhino I am glad they allowed me to do so without rushing the process.
Nice video Marcello. Love how you incorporate the B-roll while you're describing the features.
Thank you @Rob G appreciate you!
Have you heard the wa33, if so, thoughts/comparisons with the Nautilus?
I have not heard it yet.
The big daddy tube amp! Nice review!
Thank you @Sheldon Thomas appreciate you!
Good stuff it looks great in white next to your Kefs, I like that intro skit too,
Thank you @Grumpy Goose!! Filming some new content with your incredible stand in it!!
@@MarcelloRostagni I can't wait!
Nice! How is this amp with just the stock tubes?
I covered this in the video, I think they sounded terrific.
@@MarcelloRostagni Ah ok, gotcha. I'm 17 minutes in, so I guess I didn't get to that part yet :)
From your point of view, given that you've reviewed some great tube amps, I was wondering if there are any lower cost options that are comparable to the Nautilus in terms of sound quality? I have a transparent Solid State amp that I plan to use a pre-amp for extra power, so I don't really need anything that's a powerhouse. I only really need extra tubeyness that would really make my ZMF VC shine without delving into the abyss of constant tube rolling. Any suggestions? :)
Lower cost, as in how much lower?
@@MarcelloRostagni I'd say around the $2500-$4000 price range
As a Kenzie Ovation owner, I agree with how ‘tap rolling’ becomes a wonderful feature. I enjoyed your comprehensive review.
Thank you @Crypto Wolf it's something not many people are talking about and a huge plus IMO!
wow ampsandsound knocked it out of the park with this one! The nautilus and bigger ben can compete with the big boys from the major tube playas. Very cool to see what they can come up with.
@Ace of Spades 🔊🎶💯
Who are the big tube players?
Love my Bigger Ben, but I might upgrade to the nautilus. Lol
Let me know what you think if you do!
@@MarcelloRostagni the bigger Ben sounds incredible so I can only imagine.
I was waiting for Baby Yoda to rise out of that orange case wearing the ZMF Aeolus headphones!! 😜
lol! That would have been epic @JTB
👏👏👏👏👏
🎶🔊😎
Great review. Waiting for the day you have no beard and look like a news anchor 😅
Lol @Johnson Adekunle I tried that during lockdowns and I looked like a child, my daughter barely recognized me never again!! Lol ;)
It looks so bare.. Like they ran outta budget to either make is smaller and more compact, or to add more tubes across the tray. Look like a big kitchen counter with salt shakers on it. Pass. Don't care if it sounds amazing. Amazing sound has to go with some good looks for as much as this costs.
What is your favorite tube amp, looks and sound? @BLUE COLLAR HERO
Haha, I'm dead! 🤣🤣
no price??, its free??
WTH $9,200.00 USD for an over priced headamp - the construction looks like pressed metal tin and there has to be a dozen other amps that would likely do much better - Eddie Current - Studio -0 @ $7K , The Woo Audio WA33 at $8K, Donald North Audio - Stratus @ $3K, HeadAmp - Blue Hawaii Special Edition at $6K, the Toolshed Amps - Darling for less than $4K which is a piece of art
Have you heard it? If you haven't heard it, don't you think commenting on what might be better is a bit presumptuous? Please try to keep your comments a bit more professional, please. If you don’t like the looks, you can say that without being mean-spirited, but if you haven't heard the amplifier, claiming other amps sound better is a bit of a stretch.
@@MarcelloRostagni yea your right Ill tone it down but when I see $10K for something using pressed tin steel I was ill... and youre right about hearing it first- my bad- but sometimes you dont need to drive the 2020 Karma to know it was going to flop the price was way too high for that and for this amp no matter the performance- it's not a Audio Note Ongaku we are talking about here (or maybe it is)
