Millett-Hybrid Tube Amp Discontinued at HeadRoom!

Hey All,

We have decided to discontinue the HeadRoom Millett-Hybrid Tube headphone amp effective immediately. It's been a great run for that venerable & unique-sounding HR product but we hope to develop some new vacuum tube head-amp designs sometime in the next couple of years, perhaps including some sweet OTL topologies.

FYi ~ We currently have ONLY one (1) last brand-new HeadRoom Millett-Hybrid unit [w/ the 'Class-A' Home module] remaining on the shelf as of this writing... When that one ships, they're gone forever and officially "collectable"!

Cheers,
Jorge
HR Sales/Product Manager

No wonder they were on sale.

Any chance of a micro tube amp?

Wow. I drooled over this amp for quite some time.

(and... actually went OTL topology instead.)

I'm glad you plan on revisiting tubes in the future. I've always wanted to see what Headroom could come up with in a valve amp aimed at something closer to a Max level of refinement. Make it balanced and that would be to die for.

It's a very long and technical conversation, but I believe that balancng a tube amp is not advisable as it tends to cancel out some of the anomolies that makes tube so desirable.
