That looks really cool. Keep us updated when it arrives, would love to know how you get on with itUpdate after many hours of YT video busting and I noticed I had 20% discount bonus vouchers from AliExpress from previous purchases, this was enough for me to be swayed (believe it doesn't take much!). I went ahead and purchased the TA-66 at a very reasonable £183 including VAT and delivery. Nice
I'll run the cables directly from the Matrix Streamer DAC output into the tube amp. The Focal Elegia will end DAP duties and assigned permanently to the bedroom HiFi, yeah I was getting some weird looks from unsavoury members of the Wood Green community. My commuting journeys will be better served from now on, using my KZ earphones!
I think if you were thinking about tubes but don't wish to uproot your system. A tube headphone amp is the best option. It's like having vinyl without the scratches and interruption.
Harmonic Distortion Baby, gimme some!

I was originally fishing around for a cheap Cayin on eBay, even so, second hand asking price was about £500 What...?Speaking of tube headphone amps. My brother just picked one up and sent me a video of it...

A few of those I picked up to change the caps, vales & re-bias before selling on. All great amps. Still have both the big Marshalls, which is totally unnecessary yet bring me lots of joy.Amazing hardware you got there Matt!
I believe you! Not much at all.(believe it doesn't take much!).
It's true, not necessary and yet there's no price for something you love doing.A few of those I picked up to change the caps, vales & re-bias before selling on. All great amps. Still have both the big Marshalls, which is totally unnecessary yet bring me lots of joy.
Don’t abandon the Elegias, before trying them with the new amp.If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks Fries, I wil hold on to them until the new amp arrivesDon’t abandon the Elegias, before trying them with the new amp.
