Looking to build a new amp for some hd650's.
What is a high quality tube amp suitable for these cans?
I know the b22 is highley regarded around here but that is a little out of my price range atm, I would go balanced when I build one.
Check my sig for my current gear.
thanks

here take a look over at Glass Jar Audio. Very nice people to deal with, bought a Mini³ and a B22 from them.

thanks for the link, looks like a great setup. Now to find a decent enclosure...

Don't rule out the EHHA either!

Your fully modded Jaycar is terrific amp btw.

EHHA never heard of that amp, are pcb's availible?
Yes the modded jaycar is a terrific amp, but im looking for a change. Anyone know of a decent enclosure apart from modushop stuff?

The Bottlehead S.E.X. amp is also a great contender (not to take anything away from any of the other suggestions).

Bijou with my mod + 6n6P, zero feedback, and 100uF motor run Asco oil coupling caps. Completely audio bliss.

I've seen mention of 100 uF oil caps - where can I get these? What are their physical dimensions?
