Hi,
I've been mostly a browser and found lots of information very useful here. I'm currently looking for a small desktop tube amp for HD-600. I came across a Carot One Ernestolo which looks interesting. Does anyone have any experience with tube amp? I listen to soft rock, jazz, classical and pop music. My portable rig is RSA Shadow with Shure SE535. Also looked at ALO Continental V2 as it is a portable tube amp but would much prefer a more visual tube desktop amp. Any advice would be appreciated.
