I had the Ember before getting an Elise. Tried the 6sn7 adapter the dual 9173 tubes, they sounded okay, but wanted more. The Elise filled the bill for awhile, but the constant tube rolling told me I was looking for more. On Head-fi you will find a member @Hpynos1, he was the one that first contacted Lukasz about the Elise, he helped with the prototype, and did all the initial testing and use. I got to know him and he is quite sharp. The Euforia is a spin-off his Elise, he wanted silver wire wire connects and the better resistors and capacitors, and bigger and better transformer. He is quite knowledgeable and is willing to experiment with his amp, and has made many improvements, not as far as most people would go. He made the adapters for my EL11 and EL12Spezials. He did surgery on the tubes and removed the bases, and ran silver wire to a new adapter base, so the tubes have been altered so they do not need external adapters, they are essentially different tubes. Lukasz does not recommend these tubes and H ran extensive temp test from all parts of the amp with stock tubes and with the El's and the results were amazing. The transformer never gets hot, barely warm really. When he wanted more from the Elise Lukasz was considering offering an upgrade to the Elise, but looking at the changes it would not have been economical, so the Euforia is the result of H's design work. The huge price increase was unexpected to say the least, I bought the Euforia before production so I got a nice ediscount. Then the price went through the roof. I use it as a preamp out as well, and it is quiet and very powerful. The chasis looks the same but the new amp is actually larger in all dimensions, but same style. As far as headphone's I have the Senn 700 as well and it is pretty good. I had the Beyer T1 first version and thought it quite good. For myself, I prefer tthe Senn 800, this amp was made for it. H has the Beyer T1 and has it wired directly into the amp with silver wire. Like I said he tries a lot of things, outside the box and has gotten great results. He has a thread there on Headfi the Euforia thread. It was going great guns until the price increase. At least outside of Europe we don't have to pay the Vat tax anymore. At the price of the new Euforia, they have to understand there are a lot of competition at that level.
