most popular pure-tube headphone amps. It keeps all the
triode goodness of Valhalla, and adds additional versatility with
adjustable gain and preamp outputs. Use it with harder-to-drive
headphones, IEMs, and as a tube preamp for your main system

When it’s time to replace the tubes, or when
you want to “roll” tubes for a different sound
signature, follow this procedure cafefully:
1. Turn off and unplug the amplifier. Wait a
few minutes until the white LED on the front is
completely off.
2. Carefully extract tubes by gently rocking
them back and forth and pulling upwards.
Yes, the short tubes are tough to get out. Have
patience, or ask a friend with smaller hands to
help you.
3. Carefully insert the replacement tubes:
replace tubes with the same types (short =
6N1P, tall = 6N6P.) Align the pins to the sockets
and press down gently until the tubes are
seated. You may also “roll” the 6N1Ps for 6DJ8,
6BZ7, 6922, ECC88, or similar tubes.
4. Plug the amplifier back in and turn it on.
After the tubes warm up, you should hear
music.
CAUTION! Dangerous voltages inside.
Follow all instructions carefully.
1. Before plugging in the amplifier, insert the
tubes. Short tubes in the front, long tubes in
the back —closest to the RCA jack.
2. Ensure tubes are well-seated. Align carefully
and push down gently until seated.
3. Plug in your amplifier and turn it on. The
tubes will glow after a few seconds.
4. Connect your source. And enjoy your music!
