Sure I could have, my pre and amps are tube, so I love tube gear but only if it can kick the crap out of it's solid state peers. After listening to a number of headphone amps both tube and solid state, I took a leap of faith and bought it sight unseen. It has balanced and RCA plus. 1/8" input which is nice. I have a Pelican case for it and my phones so if I travel or work out of state I can enjoy some quality sound. Tube gear is definitely not portable like the Neve. The clarity of this has to be heard to be believed in addition to ZERO noise .... zero. The intelligibility and ability to hear or I should say unlock sounds and spatial cues I've never heard on CDs I played a hundred times is spooky. Don't dismiss this because it is a piece of pro audio gear, it has audiophile performance and industrial build quality , built here in the USA and is in my opinion worth every penny.
Theres only a few $500 tube headphone amps that im aware of even close to that price and they are designed with high impedance phones, Woo and Bottlehead come to mind . Just curious, what amp are you using?
