What an awful design.  So cluttered and asymmetrical.

That's just your opinion, I think its looks gorgeous.

D'oh!

Indeed, props to these guys for coming up with some of the most beautiful industrial design I've seen on a headphone amp.
 
Although some of the stuff in the DIY forums is like amplifier pornography.

If I weren't saving up my cash for a Beta 22 I would be all over one of these amps. Unless someone feels like convincing me that I need both

Need?
 
NEED!?
 
Since when is ANY of this about NEEDS?
 
Needs are food, water, and shelter.
 
This is all about DESIRES.
 
Selfish, hedonistic DESIRES.
 
Just look at that Valhalla.
 
Its smooth curves.
 
Its glowing tubes.
 
It's just beckoning you to partake of its sweet nectar.
 
And once partaken, oh what rapture you will experience!
 
It would be a great tragedy to deny yourself such pleasure.
 
You're worth it.
 
Not only that, you owe it to yourself.
 
No sacrifice is too great.
 
Even if it means standing on a street corner for a month begging for change.
 
Now, get in touch with your inner hedonist and make it so!
 
There, how's that?

Skylab, are you going to have a Valhalla?  I'm sure a good amount of people would appreciate your impressions of it.

Yes, I am supposed to get a review loaner.

Excellent.

 
I sure hope impressions of the Valhalla are better than the WA3, I'll save myself $150

What is the output of the Valhalla? I see on their site it's shown as 30V P-P but I'm not sure how that equates with most other amplifiers stating Watts at certain resistances. Specifically looking for a W rating at 300ohms if possible. Thanks.

Everyone knows that tube amps sound better when the tubes are asymmetrically on the left!

I swear that the Valhalla is the sexiest mini tube amp that I've ever seen. I am smitten by its simple yet alluring design. Jason, your team's design radiates the Bauhaus School of thought and design. Or should I say the Schiithaus School of thought and design.
