this amp gives the true high end tube sound. i agree with everything you said. it is really a gem of an amp, and i have moved over to AA stereo tube power amps for my speakers and the even their power amps share the same dna when it comes to sound. With just the right amount of tube-goodness.

I've heard a lot of praises for anode acoustics amplifiers, but sadly never been able to audition one, despite being in same country as the manufacturer, may be soon i would be able to travel to audition these beautiful anode acoustics amps with my own personal favourite Hifiman's Susvara.

@ZzZzZzZ , you can go to new delhi once and audition in person. The owner Nitin Kaushik is very helpful and friendly. Or you can find out any customers in your area and go their homes and audition there.

Is Mr. Nitin Kaushik of anode acoustics amps active here on headfi ?

@balvan thank you for interesting review of an interesting amp I find your remarks about pairing with Final Audio D8000 Pro remarkable in the sense that while I have a very limited experience with those cans and only when paired with Feliks Envy Performance, for me they were quite lifeless and withdrawn, especially when compared to Susvaras, Focal Clears MG. It is interesting to learn that they maybe quite different with different tube amp because honestly I've been thinking about trying those out again but with solid state amp only.
