Lots of very interesting and cool info here. I learned a lot. I have the Chord stack HMS/TT2/TToby for the SR1a and LCD-4 with 1266 TC coming soon but this thread already has me seeing these beauties hovering on the distant horizon. My experience with tube amps is strictly as a guitar player but that’s enough to know how they’ll sound compared to solid state. Nothing quite like those glowing bottles adding warmth, the tactile “bounce”, and fairy dust harmonics. I see there are plenty of enticing options out there. I probably wouldn’t want to get anything that’s kind of on the massive side like the WA33 or the Cayin H300 but I guess space can always be made. Well, there’s still time. TOTL tube amps are definitely not something I can get into in the near future - more like 3~4 years down the road after I settle on a certain number of headphones and a dedicated SS headphone amp. That being said, I’ll definitely keep my long-range radar scanning for these beauties for sure. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.headphones.com/t/totl-tubed-headpone-amp/6514)._
