I chose the Elekit TU-882 headphone amp at at a show and it beat everything I listened to. Then I rolled quite a number of tubes until I found the magic 5670. I don't want to go through tube rolling again. The amp also was dead quiet before I ruined it. I also suspect the feel good nature of the amp has something to do with the fact that it is a SET. Don't know for sure. What I do know is there are quite a few headphone amps out there that suck bigtime. I was shocked at the show when I heard amps that had no merit at all, up to like $1200 and one or two diy projects. The amp I posted a photo of is not SET but is tube output instead of transformer. I don't see any all tube amps out there other than the one I have that is SET and uses the 5670 except maybe in a circuit board w/o box and PS. T456
