Hey Guys   Has any one done a comparison of these two amps?  The Lyr being a hybrid, and the V200 getting written about as "tube sounding" or warm for a SS, I'm interested to hear any impressions, and I couldn't find anything in detail via a google search.   I guess the V200 is more...

Has anyone heard this amplifier's headphone out?  Cost is around $800 shipped.   http://www.meixingaudio.com/english/English/cp/1_368-B%20902.html  

Anyone have pictures? If you do post a good interior pic, provide your paypal email and $3 is yours. Also, anyone know a good 3rd place to buy it? It's $225 shipped factory direct but they're being slow in answering my emails over the holidays, and TTVJ wants $290 + shipping (ugh).

Currently available from Amazon (fulfilling for third party) for $99.99 shipped.

Hi guys I have a la figaro 339 tube amp and to turn it on there are two power switches behind the unit. I am thinking of just pluging it into a powerboard with a switch and using that to turn it on and off leaving the amp on. I am thinking that there may be a power spike on startup by doing this...

Its fully balanced, comes with both balanced and single headphone output. I am looking for a medium size desktop amp for my balanced headphones seems the a18 can fit my needs. Any updates about the releasing date of this amp, and how much?

Has anyone else had a problem with subdued bass from the Valhalla? I was quite disapointed when I first started listening and realized that the bass response was so weak (the shrill painfully piercing highs in some of the Classical stuff that I listen to were not missed quite as much). After...
