I have a Bravo Audio V3 tube amp and I would like to know if it would be powerful enough to drive the 600ohm version of these headphones.

Dellwolfhere is my simple unscientific test for what its worth, I have two DAC/Amp combos, both drive the DT990 Premium 600 ohm headphones well
DAC/Amp #1 is the objective O2 combo by mayflower electronics - no pre-amp tube
DAC/Amp #2 is the xDuoo TA-01 single 12AU7 tube pre amp
first song i found was Cinderella - Shake Me.flac that i ripped from cd earlier today, i adjusted the volume to a reasonably loud playback volume on both amps, plenty of knob left to turn if you want to blow things up, I'd estimate the knob indicator was around 30 percent on both amps, this was a quick test, nothing fancy,
my comments: tube amp did sound good to my ears, warm, both DAC/Amp combos performed well the tube amp got warm at this volume, i can imagine tube will get hotter the more you turn it up, I'm guessing you will kill the amp if you turn it all the way up. just a guess I'm not going to test that, I'll let someone else try, but not advise it. installing the drivers on windows 7 worked, took a few minutes to figure it out on the TA-01, the O2 amp was plug-n-play, my opinion is both amps drive 600 ohm headphones fine for my simple rock music test, your millage may very.
note: I do not have a Bravo Audio V3 and can not tell you how well it will work. Good Luck
