Just thought I'd share my thoughts on my newly acquired amp. I've been using a small fiio amp for a while and when I got my new audeze el-8's I wanted something with a little more juice to power it. I decided to try a tube amp and found this cheap one on Amazon.
As for build quality, I liked the aluminum body, and the blue led lit tubes give it a nice accent. The amp takes up very little space on my desk. On the front is a power switch and a volume knob, as well as the input output ports. Though I wish the audio input port would be at the back, to keep one extra wire out of view.
In the sound department I was very impressed that there is no noise even when nothing is playing! No hissing or anything. I really like the warmness it gives to my music, especially in songs with lots of piano. Sound is crisp and fuller.
Next I'm going to look into upgrading the tubes. Can anyone recommend me some?
