First time posting....thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I've been thinking of trying a tube headphone amp. I currently use a Pro-ject Headbox, and while it does a good job, it does not excite me particularly.
I'd like to try a tube headphone amp which could double as a preamp. This could function as a 2nd or 3rd system down the road.
I've been looking at the following: Woo Audio 3, SHANLING PH300, Melos SHA-1.
Regarding the headphone amp functionality. Is there a benefit in getting an amp that uses tubes in the driver stage....as in the Woo Audio or would a hybrid design function just as well? I am somewhat worried about excessive heat produced by the driver tubes.
Thanks again....
