I think EC amps are amazing but the styling is too retro for me. I get the Moth heritage but still... 1970s kitchen stove knobs? Really? What about those LEDs... haven't seen something like that since my school bus.....

I've been eyeing on DNA Sonett. I like the retro simplicity look.
I wonder how it drove lcd-2 though.

I have no problem with the styling - its the price that stops me in my tracks. By the time you get that thru Oz Customs, its a serious chunk of change.

$1000+ for shipping and import tax.

I'm mildly interested in the Bellari HA540 or Little Dot MKIII as affordable first tube amps. The Schiit Asgard and Valhalla holds interest as well... If I someone buys my AHA-120, I'd probably try a Asgard, though I'd really like to try them side by side. 

 

I'm slightly more interested though in the Ibasso P4. I just really want to see what it can do with a HD650. I love the exchangeable opamp option... A budget portable that sounds as good as/near the AHA-120 would be really sweet. Seems unlikely but I've been looking for one! I'm close to as interested in a Neco Soundlab. 

 

Perhaps most of all right now, I want to try a Bottlehead Crack w/ my HD650. I really wish they didn't cost so much for Bottlehead to assemble. I'm just not a DIYer (nor do I have the tools/space) but would like to try one of these. If they were $300 or so shipped, I'd be all over this, especially with the reviews of how it pairs with the HD650. Close to $500 assembled and shipped puts me too close to the next option...

 

I am unashamedly intrigued by the Burson HD160. The open box Burson HD160 from soundeaphones for $570 is tempting... but not really. So out of my price range! I think its the amp I'd most like to try now though.

I'd love to be able to try a Valhalla next to my Asgard. The Valhalla, although geared more towards higher impedance phones, is something I really want to try, especially now that I'm dabbling with high impedances.

Give me a couple of weeks and I can post such a comparison.  I have an Asgard in my possession and a Valhalla inbound right now as we speak.

Hmmm, I've been wanting an asgard aswell. Has anyone ever tried to run a group buy on them?

I don't think there is that much of a mark up to warrant a group buy. Give Jason and Co your money!

But that's the whole idea of a group buy, you get people interested with the reduced price and the company makes more sales than it would have otherwise.

 

Works out for everyone : D
