There are reasons for that. ;)

Haha, I'm sorry! :( 

If only you did so a bit sooner! 

 

Maybe the tubes if you're willing to part. ;)

 

Does the humming occur with speakers hooked up?

I'll sell the tubes with the amp. I don't think they're very good. The humming occurs with headphones and speakers (since they share the same output). They're far from matched. Your best bet is to get a pair of matched raytheons from Ryan or eBay.

Actually just remembered the A1 existed, I just got new speakers and they require an amp and most amps are ridiculously priced.  Receivers are huge, the a1 is not hehe.

What speakers are they ninjikiran? I learned from sp70 that it's important to properly drive speakers. You might remember I had the A1 and those Insignia bookshelf speakers that didn't take much power. I upgraded to a 110 watt per channel amp and there was a significant positive difference over the A1. The A1 isn't bad at all, it's just important to note what your speakers require. The size and sound of the A1 is very appealing. But for about $150, I snagged a "vintage" Sony amp that powers most anything I want.

 

Not sure what my point is so I'll just say, I'm surprised you're bidding on my headphones on eBay :P
