If you are going to roll tubes you will start to get into the range of $250 amps like the Project Polaris which is a slightly warm SS amp and a little more flexible than the Vali2.
God is it an eyesore though...
As in sound..so is beauty a personal preference. I like the look... even a bit better if you get the aluminum top and bottom plates... But the sound is what is really important. It sounds great with many headphones and gives one the ability to change settings to tailor the sound to your preferences. It is a nice little amp. It also has a 5 year warranty if Jeremy builds it, and quite possibly the best support you will ever find on a electronic device. It doesn't get lots of press around here, but if you read the thread, those that own one really like them. Including me!
