The problem being is he did not try a different tube. With the stock tube is sounds quite similar to the Magni 2 and a solid state amp. A good tube amp will sound like that. A bad tube amp will not. Problem is people have been listening to bad tube amps for a long time so they think that it needs to sound distorted and add to the sound where it should actually be clear, detailed, and resolving. Changing the tubes out will change the warmth but keep the detail as well as change out the highs and soundstage. All you have to do is look at the vali 2 tube rolling thread. Heck I even have adapters to use different size tubes for mine. The k7xx are far from analytical especially with the vali 2. They even have a bump in the bass the k701 dont have as well as the k702.
The Valhalla 2 sounds nothing like the Darkvoice and it is an otl tube amp. Sounds much closer to the vali 2 and a ss than the darkvoice with the stock tubes. Too many people take stock in what z reviews says and really should not. Most people I know that know what they are talking about disagree with most of what he believes to be true. You spend more time going around in circles with people trying to steer them in the right direction because of his videos and most new people dont know any better. But such is life. I suggest you do your own research on the vali 2 and see for yourself. Look at the tube rolling thread and look at all the reviews and praise on here.
