In comparison I would have to say that they are very similar. I had diamong buffers in my millett so it does surpass in that department. The home based millett possibly did deliver a bit more bass but that could be attributed to the fact that I used all premium components in my build(blackgates etc..) I think they both are very close. One thing I noticed is the soundstage on the portable(with my 225's) seemd a bit compressed.

I liked the millett portable. If I had a need for a portable I would seriously consider it. It does have a nice tube sound to it. It is warm and does calm down the highs for grados which I like.It is hard to do comparisons. Some differences can be so subtle sometimes.Thinking back when I owned an sr71 I would think the millett beats it in warmth. The sr71 had more soundstage; maybe. It has been a while since I have owned the sr71.

In terms of compression I mean the airiness was not as great on the portable as my SOHA and millett(thinking back on the millett). Of course different tubes are being used.
