Hi Guys,
 
Hope this hasn't been covered recently, so please let me know if it has.
 
I am looking for a nice Tube amp for max. 600 Bucks, just to get a feel for tube amps.
 
Until now im using my Lake People G99 which is VERY linear and accurate sounding and i like it alot but i want to expirment with some more coloured sound. I am not a big Bass head and like smooth mids and clear highs.
Musical Prefrences are mainly Jazz, Classical, RnB, Lounge....
 
Headphones beeing used Are HD600s, SRH840s and DT880s....
 
I heard the HD600 and DT880 sound fantastic wiht tubes and that just got me really intrested
 
 
Greets,

'Guess tubes arent very popular these days...

Woo 6 maybe?

 

[cOSteLLo]

Looks pretty nice!
 
DO you have expirience with it?

 

[kboe]

No.  Sadly not.  Though if you willing to ship me one I'll report back on what I think!

 
With your 600s and 880s the Woo3 being OTL would also be a good match.

What is an OTL

Just throwing it out there, but how about the Schiit Valhallas?

MAD EAR + HD and it was designed using the HD600.

If you are interested in a bit of DIY, the Bottlehead Crack sounds good. I built one with the Speedball upgrade last week and it sounds great.

Ive heard good things about the elekit tu-882. You can get it as a kit with either all solder work done for around $445 where it takes maybe 10 mins to just screw together, or you can get it as a plan PCB and populate it yourself for $360 I believe. I've been reading a lot about them. Seems like amazing bang for the buck. Skylab gave it a great review, and its compact.too.

sweet, the elekit looks awesome, love the design. i want it so badly now :I
 
the woo6 seems to be grreart, but its kinda expensive and hard to find...

 

[Skylab]

I have reviewed 12 tube amps in that price range:

thx for the link sky, i thought u might have done that, but head-fi is so big, that its hard to find stuff... so reading ur reviews, u really liked the elekit tu.882 as well, right?

 

[Skylab]

Yep, the Elekit is a nice amp.
