Just curious as to why you would want a valve amp for that sort of budget. Not being snobbish but I don't think you are going to find many good ones without spending a lot more and if that is your top budget then you'll find much better solid-state ones around.Stevie9 said:Hi, I've a thread running in the headphone section but I may get more hits here. Can anyone one recommend a good valve/tube headphone amp for around £400? I'm aware of the Shiit Valhalla 1. Are there any out there I'm missing? Thanks. Stevie.
You could look at the offerings from Little Dot from China & Woo Audio in the states although the latter may come in a little over your budget.Stevie9 said:Hi, I've a thread running in the headphone section but I may get more hits here.

I was thinking along those lines but with the Chinese amps you may have a problem with warranty and the Woo Audio WA3 is over budget and you've still got the shipping costs on top. The Taga Harmony is at least available through kronosav.comeggontoast said:You could look at the offerings from Little Dot from China & Woo Audio in the states although the latter may come in a little over your budget.Stevie9 said:Hi, I've a thread running in the headphone section but I may get more hits here.

Sennheiser HD650 probably..insider9 said:Hi, what headphones are you planning to pair with it?
No problem Mr Ears..I am open solid-state options..Al ears said:Just curious as to why you would want a valve amp for that sort of budget.

Having said that there is the Taga Harmony THDA-500T for around £200 but cannot vouch for its' quality as have never heard it.
In that case allow me to suggest the Creek OBH21 Mk.2, you will be hard pushed to find a better amp for the money, they really are a bargain ;-)Stevie9 said:No problem Mr Ears..I am open solid-state options..Al ears said:Just curious as to why you would want a valve amp for that sort of budget.
